How to Add Multiple Trendlines to Chart in Google Sheets

A trend line is a straight line that connects two or more price points in the past and continues forward to act as a line of support or resistance in the future.

Trendlines are frequently employed in stock market analysis. Traders use trendlines on charts to connect a series of prices or indicate the best fit of data. The resulting line is then used to provide the trader with a solid idea of how the value of an investment may change in the future.
