Which term describes an uptrend or the action to buy?

• A. Short
• B. Bearish
• C. Long
• D. Doji Candlestick

Answer: (C)

In trading, going long means buying a security and holding it with the expectation that its price will rise. An uptrend is characterized by prices moving higher over time, which aligns with the idea of buying now to benefit from those gains. So the term that best fits both the uptrend and the action to buy is long — taking a long position.

Short describes selling with the expectation of a price drop, not buying or rising prices. Bearish refers to a market outlook expecting lower prices. A Doji candlestick indicates indecision in the market, not a clear upward move or a buying action.
