What is Trend day?

A day of persistent directional movement with a thin, elongated profile and little time spent at any price.

In context

On some days the profile has no dominant bulge at all. Instead it is long and thin: volume is spread thinly across a wide range of prices, with no single area where the market settled. This is the thin or elongated profile, typical of a trend day.
