# 🐷

The 🐷 signal can act as an early warning signal of buyers/sellers becoming "greedy", which typically results in a trend reversal. "Greedy" in this case being traders who have possibly overstayed profitable positions even after the price has made a significant move in their favor.&#x20;

Some traders do this in the hopes of squeezing out more profit, but more often than not, end up panic closing their positions. This sudden buying/selling can create a cascading effect as other traders also begin to panic close their positions, leading to a rapid and significant price movement in the opposite direction.&#x20;

During a downtrend, the 🐷 signal can warn traders that bears are getting _greedy_ (relative to chart's timeframe) and/or buyers may be attempting to take control of price action. During an uptrend, it means that the Bulls are getting _greedy_ and/or sellers are attempting to take control of price action.

The 🐷 signal can also add confluence to a 🐻 or 🐮 signal, acting as additional confirmation of a trend change. Traders can use the 🐷 signal in conjunction with the 🐻 and 🐮 signals to make more informed trading decisions.&#x20;
