1. What is a Pullback?
A pullback is a temporary reversal in the price movement of an asset, usually after an uptrend or downtrend
Pullbacks are temporary corrections within the context of the prevailing trend.
1.1 What is a Pullback?
A pullback refers to a temporary dip or pause in the price movement of an asset, occurring within an established trend.
It's a short-term price correction that moves against the prevailing trend before the trend resumes.
1.2 What is a Pullback?
Pullbacks can offer traders opportunities to enter or re-enter a position at a potentially more favorable price.
A retracement or pullback is a temporary price movement against the overall trend.
1.3 What is a Pullback?
You'll find these pullbacks when the market is breaking out of a consolidation
When the price breaks out of resistance, returns to the previous resistance (which now becomes support)
1.4 What is a Pullback?
A trendline forms when a price touches a line three or more times.
Each time the price touches that trend line, the price pullbacks.
This trendlines act as a resistance for the price.

Indicators are also useful methods for detecting pullbacks.
Some indicators will tell you in advance whether it's a pullback or a reversal.
My favorites for identifying pullbacks are EMAs and Bollinger Bands.

The Fibonacci retracement tool is one of the most useful tools for identifying a pullback.
Fibonacci has levels where the price completes pullbacks.
This tool we help you to trade pullbacks, and identify if its a reversal.
2. What is a reversal?
A reversal is when the overall trend of the market changes direction.
Reversals are viewed as much more significant, longer term changes in direction of a market.

When you identify the prevailing trend, you will know if there are retracements/pullbacks or reversals.
Use trendlines or indicators to help you out to identify if its a pullback or a reversal

Normally reversal in HTF, always have a reason for which to reverse the current trend.
For example: Local tops and lows, Liquidity Sweeps, Deviations...

Bollinger Bands is a great indicator to identify trends, reversals and pullbacks.
In a downtrend, a pullback approaching the middle band without surpassing it = Selling opportunity
And the contrary in a uptrend.
