Morphology

uptrend = trend (transparent) = up + trend

The financial sense is a direct application of 'up' + 'trend' describing prices moving upward; meaning is directly inferable. [Postprocessing: moved 'up' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Uptrend is made of the simple parts up and trend, and trend means a 'direction' or where something is going, like a market trend. So an uptrend in finance is a direction that goes 'up', meaning prices or values are rising steadily.
