Trend reversal in forex trading usually occurs when the price of a currency pair reverses or transitions from an uptrend to a downtrend, or vice versa. This often happens when the price reaches a significant level or when there are technical signals indicating a change in the market's direction.

Some common trend reversal signals include:

  1. Bullish/Bearish Divergence: This occurs when the price and technical indicators such as RSI, MACD, Stochastic, etc., give conflicting signals, suggesting a potential reversal.
  2. Candlestick Patterns: Certain candlestick patterns such as "Hammer," "Shooting Star," "Engulfing," "Doji," and "Tweezer Tops/Bottoms" can indicate a trend reversal.
  3. Moving Average Crossovers: When the price crosses over a moving average from above to below or vice versa, it can signal a trend reversal.
  4. Chart Patterns: Chart patterns like "Double Tops," "Double Bottoms," "Head and Shoulders," and "Flags" can indicate a trend reversal.
However, identifying trend reversal signals is not always easy and requires thorough analysis and trading skills. It may be beneficial to use suitable technical tools and indicators to confirm trend reversal signals.

Regarding finding the best entry point, it is a complex issue and depends on each trader's trading method. Some traders may prefer to use market orders when they confirm trend reversal signals, while others might opt for pending orders to ensure price confirmation before entering a trade.

Selecting the optimal entry point is also linked to determining profit targets and reasonable stop-loss levels. This helps manage risk and optimize the risk-to-reward ratio (R/R) of a trade.

I advise you to study and learn from reliable sources on technical analysis and forex trading strategies to grasp the fundamental principles and develop your own trading approach.
