Charting / technical-analysis terminology
Descriptive, not a guaranteed forecast

What is Trend Persistence?

Trend Persistence is market-structure terminology used to describe the relationship between swings, trend direction, ranges or important price boundaries. It names what the chart is doing without requiring a separate indicator.

Trend Persistence matters because it gives analysts a consistent way to discuss price-structure interpretation. Market-structure terms describe how successive highs, lows, ranges and breaks relate to one another without requiring a separate indicator.

How to read Trend Persistence

Read Trend Persistence together with trend, timeframe, volatility and market context. Its main role is price-structure interpretation, not replacing the underlying price series.

What Trend Persistence does not tell you

The term should be read as descriptive chart language rather than as a self-contained forecast. Parameter choices, timeframe and data quality can materially change the result.

Use in bonds, rates and macro markets

A yield breakout and a bond-price breakout have opposite directional implications for rates, so the charted variable must always be identified.

BondStats interpretation rule

Technical chart structures are context, not certainty. BondStats does not present a candlestick, drawing tool, indicator reading or chart pattern as a standalone investment recommendation. Where a concept depends on discretionary anchors or parameter choices, those choices should be made explicit.
