All uptrend started with a technical rebound and followed by a higher-low, and confirm with an increased of volume, these are the most ideal criteria of a healthy uptrend. Other than finding a right stock, finding an ideal entry point is crucial. Let's take a look at some case studies.

As indicated by chart 1, price of TA rebound from the RM0.66 support, after consolidating above the RM0.66 level for more than a month. As indicated by A, price of TA rebounded again and this time, with volume increasing, as indicated by B. First target of the rebound is at RM0.70, and the increased of volume suggests some increased of inflow of fresh capital to off set some selling pressure.
If price should also break above the RM0.70 level, with volume remains strong, the 14, 21, 31 EMA would, by then, by serving as the dynamic support, as well as the trailing stop reference, and the next resistance is at RM0.78 level. Technically, provided that price is still supported by the 14, 21, 31 EMA, the uptrend remains intact, and it would be a good idea to hold on to the stocks until price should break below the 14, 21, 31 EMA.
On the other hand, if price should failed to break above the RM0.70 level, and started retreat again, and once it should break below RM0.66, it would be making a new low, suggesting that it could be forming a downtrend again, thus a signal to cut loss.

Conclusion:
Technically, all uptrend started with a technical rebound, but a wise trader should know that a technical rebound is only a very beginning, thus an uptrend is not yet forming.

This is what makes a professional trader difference from an average trader.
