Trend lines and price alerts, simply: BTCUSDT examples

What is a trend line?

• ▸Uptrend: each low is higher than the last, so you join two lows with a rising line.
• ▸Downtrend: each high is lower than the last, so you join two highs with a falling line.
• ▸Sideways: price moves between two flat levels, where a horizontal price line helps more than a slanted one.

Example 1: a rising trend line on BTCUSDT

1. 1Open the BTCUSDT chart and pick the one-hour (1h) timeframe.
2. 2Suppose a low at 60,000, then a higher low at 61,500 two days later.
3. 3Pick the trend-line tool and click the first low, then the second.
4. 4Each touch and bounce makes the line more meaningful. A candle closing below it signals the trend is weakening.

61,500 ●───────── rising line ─────────▶
60,000 ●

Example 2: an alert on a fixed level

1. 1Sign in with Google — alerts are tied to your account.
2. 2From the BTCUSDT chart press “Add price alert”; the symbol and current price fill in.
3. 3Choose “crosses up” and type, say, 65,000 (a previous resistance), then save.
4. 4When price crosses 65,000 you get a phone notification and an e-mail.

Example 3: an alert on the trend line itself

Instead of a fixed number, tap the trend line from Example 1 and choose “Alert from line” with “crosses down”. The watched level moves with the line hour by hour, so you are notified if the uptrend breaks wherever price is at the time. Turn on “Repeat” for an alert on every touch; after each send it waits for price to move a little away from the line before sending again.
