The data set for horizontal trends is smaller than the data sets for the other trend signals. This means that these situations are rare in the market. A break upwards from a horizontal trend has, however, been followed by a solid price increase of 4.0 percentage points more than benchmark average in three months. Similarly breaks downwards have been followed by a negative excess return of 4.1 percentage points. The great price differences make these results clearly significant.
