Describes the price movement of a financial asset when the overall direction is downward. A formal downtrend occurs when each successive peak and trough is lower than the ones found earlier in the trend. Notice how each successive peak and trough is lower than the previous one.
In elementary geometry the word congruent is often used as follows. The word equal is often used in place of congruent for these objects. Two line segments are congruent if they have the same length. Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure. Two circles are congruent if they have the same diameter.
The reflexive property of congruence is used to prove congruence of geometric figures. This property is used when a figure is congruent to itself. Angles, line segments, and geometric figures can be congruent to themselves. Congruence is when figures have the same shape and size.
