Welcome back to another price action structures/patterns video.
Today let's take a look into the “M” and “W” style structures/patterns. Many traders may use these types of structures/patterns in their trading plan/strategies. Let me show you guys my interpretation of them, and how I utilize them in my trading as well.
It's important to understand many of my previous price action analysis, structures/patterns videos all tie into this one as well, I will put those links below.
Essentially, a “M” or “W” style pattern is a double tops/bottoms pattern that appears mostly towards an end of a run of the current price. They are “reversal” price action structures/patterns. They are most effective when we tie in other price action structures/patterns with it.
Let me give multiple examples of these structures/patterns in different markets and time frames.
“M” Style Pattern
-Double tops structure after price failed to continue the first initial push down. -Top of the Right M, needs to have a reversal structure on the LTF or smaller time frames (ascending channel, H and S pattern..etc) -Can either enter at the breakout of the reversal structure or the first correction after the impulse down
“W” Style Pattern -Double Bottoms after price failed to continue the first initial push up. -bottom of the Right W, needs to have a reversal structure on the LTF or smaller time frames (descending channel, Inverse H and S pattern..etc) -Can either enter at the breakout of the reversal structure or the first correction after the impulse up
