Falling trends indicate that the company experiences negative development and decreasing buy interest among investors. Falling trends signal that the stock price will continue to fall.
When the price is near the resistance of the trend channel ceiling, there is a big downside to the floor of the trend channel. There is opportunity to make good sales, assuming the trend development continues.
At the same time, the risk of a break upward is greater than when the stock is in the bottom half of the trend channel. A break upward is not a buy signal, see the help item Falling trend breaking upwards, but the stock is assessed as less negative than when the price stays within the trend.
Consequently it is not obviously better to sell a stock near the ceiling of a trend channel than it is to sell when it is in the middle or near the floor.
In Investtech’s analyses, stocks in falling trends are equally negative, regardless of whether the price is near the floor, ceiling or in the middle of the trend channel. A stock is classified as “near trend ceiling” if it is in the upper fifth of the trend channel.
