In general, retracement levels are placed at about a third, half and approximately two-thirds of a trend's total length. Analysts typically mark those levels with horizontal lines. To start the analysis correctly, a trader must measure the length of the price action from the beginning of the uptrend or downtrend to at least the point where it looks like the end of the respective trend is. "Premature analysis," left, shows the euro advancing since late August. This should be the start of the uptrend. The problem here is while there is a clear beginning, there is no apparent end of the uptrend, so the retracement analysis will have to wait. |
