Directional states
An uptrend usually preserves rising structural points; a downtrend preserves falling structural points. The label remains provisional until the relevant structure is tested.
Range state
A range repeatedly contains price between recognised boundaries. Movement inside it can be large without becoming a sustained directional trend.
Avoid forced labels
If evidence is mixed, describe the uncertainty instead of choosing a direction for the sake of having a conclusion.
