Alan reviews a chart of FLT and shows how to determine the end of a trend using Dow Theory.

However, the price action changes and begins to make outside swings; that is, a higher high and a lower low. When this happens the market is classified as sideways. Therefore the chart in review changes from a rising trending market to a sideways one.
In the price action following the analysis the price makes a lower low and then continues lower becoming a falling market.
