Simplest ( I am not sure about gloriousness ) forecasting method is trendline intersection method . Start there if you are serious .
Are you implying any/ some leading indicators would be practically useful (to predict trends as well as ranges)?
Hmm, it's a joke, isn't it ? Market in range -> use of range-type strategies Market in trend -> use of trend following-type strategies
============ Sridhar Long story short, mostly [market] X will continue uptrend, but for more info ; may want to study trader Victor Sperandeo books. Neat 1987 trend info-insight. You dont ''know,'' future in that context because big difference between high probability and infallibility. Victor helps with victory, no wonder Jack Schwager interviewed him .Wisdom is profitable to direct. Like on collecting an insurance premium , you dont tell the client he should die @ 77 years, even though average drop dead is about 77 years old.
