Pullbacks during a trend
The next screenshot highlights the importance of putting the size of pullbacks into context:
The first green shaded area shows the first larger pullback during the ongoing downtrend.
Before that, the pullbacks were relatively small which signaled strong momentum to the downside. Often, strong trends only show sideways ranges instead of real pullbacks.
A large pullback can foreshadow a broken market structure and it provides first indications of losing trend strength.
Finally, price failed to make lower lows altogether which had been foreshadowed by the increasing size of pullbacks against the downtrend.

Price action analysis
Trend waves – length, steepness, and smoothness
he first point lays the groundwork for all that follows and it describes the basics of price movement. The way price moves during trending waves and pullbacks can tell you a lot. The chart below shows a downtrend with a series of lower lows. At the same time, you can see that the bearish price waves are much smoother and the bullish pullbacks are less smooth.
Secondly, the steepness of the bearish price waves decreases and they become shallower as the trend continues. Steep price waves indicate trend strength whereas shallow price waves signal a lack of strength. Also, the size of the trend-waves is important to understand. The chart below shows that the bearish trend-waves become smaller.
The blue circled area highlights the first period bears faced strong opposition and price wasn’t able to move further down as smooth. This price behavior is in sharp contrast to previous price action. In a strong and healthy downtrend, the bearish trend-waves do occur mainly uninterrupted.
