Trends don’t develop in singular straight lines. They are interrupted sporadically by counter-trend reactions that refuel the trend when it resumes. But, from where? Where does the counter-trend reaction end before resuming the trend?
All that we know in advance is candidates. Some candidates are likelier than others. Being likelier, they can be worth the possible whipsaw loss, because that exposure can be managed to small fraction of the potential reward for resuming the trend.
Generally, among the likelier corrective candidates is the prior correction’s 61.8% retracement.
