Every term explained in plain English. No jargon, no confusion—just clear definitions you can actually use.
An event that causes a significant price move. Catalysts include earnings reports, FDA decisions, product launches, management changes, or acquisition announcements. Momentum traders often position ahead of expected catalysts or trade the reaction to unexpected ones.
A market condition characterized by rapid, unpredictable price swings without clear direction. Trend-following strategies often struggle in choppy conditions as moves reverse quickly.
The tendency to seek out and favor information that confirms existing beliefs while ignoring contradictory evidence. A major psychological pitfall in trading.
A period where price moves sideways in a range, neither trending up nor down. Often precedes a breakout. Think of it as the market catching its breath.
A temporary price decline of 10-20% from recent highs. Not a crash—more like a healthy pullback that shakes out weak hands before resuming the trend.
A bullish continuation pattern resembling a teacup. The cup forms as price rounds from high to low and back to high. The handle is a small pullback before breakout. Often precedes significant moves.
