In our previous example, we saw how a swift upward move in Nifty began when the timing suggested an upward move.
The move did not just begin; it continued higher with strength. Once the direction was in place, the focus shifted from entry to how far the move could extend.
This is when the next stage of the trade matters. Every move slows down and ends at some point; nothing goes up forever.
In the Nifty50 example, the move continued to rise until it hit a set target. After that, its strength faded, and soon the market opened with a sharp gap down.
The chart below shows the move hitting its target and then starting to lose strength.
This is where most trades begin to lose clarity.
You might know when to enter and which direction to trade, but the exit often remains uncertain.
As a result, profits are often reduced or given back. Decisions are made in the moment, based on small price movements rather than a clear plan.
But when the move is analysed with a clear, practical approach, a different picture begins to emerge.
Just as timing helps identify when a move may begin, it can also indicate when it is approaching completion.
Rather than reacting as the move unfolds, you can prepare in advance. Entry, direction, and exit all become part of one plan.
This level was not random. It was set as a pre-defined objective.
When a move gets close to its target, the decision is easier because you’ve already thought it through.
A good trade isn’t just about entering at the right time. It’s also about knowing where the move might end so you can plan your exit in advance.
P.S. This approach of using timing to determine both the start and end of market moves will be explained in detail in my upcoming course.
