Because as a famous saying in trading world , "Trend is your friend".

               Once a stock ,or currency is in trend , then it may continue in that trend for quite sometime.It's not like it just going to end abruptly. Most wise thing is to trade according to the trend.that way you go with the flow , instead of fighting with the market. There are instances, where fighting with the market doesn't go well for trader .

So it's wise if we can't fight with them ,lets join them..So its important to find out the trend in the market ,so we can go with the market flow.
