Stock can be taken into uptrend when two successive HH-HL formation sets in.
This is general definition. But apart from that you need to focus on price action too.
My learning of price is mostly from here and specially to Saint sirs thread.
Apart from that the work done by ST and SG is remarkable...Specially 3-15 and other thread. A good place to learn, which is never ever written in books. See how position sizing and all got discussed there. I am still not good into position sizing part.
As i have been told by many, trade what you see and not what you think.
The current rally is best example, stock near to highs making more lifetime highs, while the laggards are still betting ignored.
My first place of judging uptrend is HH-HL setup and then focussing on Moving average setups, possibly towards explosive king of move. and then stock best correct to 34 ema(if in strong uptrend) or near to 50 DMA..the story goes on.
A good example is here...

And now see updated chart here...
Point is moment you see nice setup on price action or moving average front, and stock making HH-HL formation get in and ride it. For studying price action, analyse many charts as you can, and go on study it daily atleast 20-25 stocks for an hour or so. you will get feel of what stock trying to do. or Rather what smart money trying to do.
