Chart patterns classification of 'Continuous' or 'Reversal' patterns helps traders to identify specific patterns and expect their outcome from current price action.

Reversal patterns exhibit a total shift of trends from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish in a single pattern structure.

Examples of the reversal patterns are 'Head and Shoulders, Double Tops and Bottoms...
