Trend
A trend is the general direction of the price of an asset. Trends can be upward, downward or sideways and they can appear on any time scale i.e. short, medium or long term.

It is generally believed that you should trade with the trend (in the same direction). Based on the example above it would be more desirable to take long positions as apposed to shorts.
Swing traders may use the long-term market trend to filter the opportunities that arise in individual stocks.
