(peak) are getting lower and Trough (valley) will also be getting lower.
Because there are word series of mean more than one. That is, there must be a
minimum of two peaks and two valleys which would be lower.
3. Flat (sideways)

valleys, but to confirm the trendline we need a point peaks or valleys to the
three.
2. The increasingly sloping trendline that we image, then
the power level will be reduced and even Easier in translucent.
3. Trendline will be valid if more and more points which
connect him.
4. Do not to force draw a trendline that

trendline, then look for other alternative means. Bottom line: do not force
draw a trendline, Because that is more important is to identify the trend
