My understanding of market structures.
1.Market structures are swing points (swing High and swing low on the chart).
2.They can be used to define trend
uptrend- when market is making Higher Highs and Higher Lows consecutively
downtrend-when market makes Lower Highs and lower lows consecutively
In the XAUUSD chart,
Market is constantly making higher highs and higher lows.
So the trend is bullish/upwards.
