Judging that the price momentum is weakening is actually not difficult; you just need to compare the performance of 'this wave' and 'the previous wave' of increases.

In the process of rising, the earliest change is usually not a decline, but the price is unable to rise at a similar position, unable to exceed the previous range.

When the bullish force is sufficient, each wave of attack has several common characteristics: a significant push by the entity, the closing can stabilize above the previous high, and the distance between peaks remains stable or even gradually expands.

Once the strength begins to weaken, these characteristics will change: the amplitude of new highs is significantly shorter than the previous one, the closing after the breakout cannot stabilize above the previous high, and the upper shadow lines have also increased, indicating that the selling pressure encountered during the rise is becoming greater.

These changes may seem subtle, but they are crucial; they indicate that the same buying power can no longer push out the previous increase.

Moreover, as the price approaches the resistance zone, this phenomenon becomes more obvious: the upward space becomes smaller, while the risk increases, and naturally, there are fewer people willing to chase higher prices.

As a result, breakouts are no longer as decisive as in the early stages of the trend, the attack distance shortens, and the intervals between peaks gradually narrow.

This does not necessarily mean that the market is about to reverse, but it indicates that the strength of this trend is not as strong as before, and the winning rate and profit-loss ratio of continuing to chase higher prices will decrease.
