What is Trend?
A persistent direction in price — higher highs and higher lows, or the reverse.
Trends exist because flows persist: buyers accumulate, sellers wait, and each pullback is absorbed earlier. Defining one mechanically usually means a moving average or swing structure.
Every trend ends, and the model does not try to call the turn. It publishes a range and a probability, and grades itself either way.
