How to Island Reversal PatternGreetings, fellow traders! Today, we dive into the Island Reversal patterns, a fascinating subset of price gap structures. Understanding their intricacies can empower us to make informed and strategic trading decisions.
Unraveling Island Reversals:
Island Reversals materialize when prices find themselves marooned amidst gaps, isolated from preceding trends.
Picture this: in a bullish rally, prices surge above the prior session's close, forming an upside gap. After a few sessions, a downside gap emerges, bringing prices below the prior close. This secluded price-range creates the Island Reversal setup, often heralding significant technical declines in bullish trends or robust rallies in bearish trends.
The Influence of News and Volume:
Island Reversals, intriguingly, are often the offspring of news-driven events. To validate these patterns, observe the volume – it should surge significantly on both sides of the gaps. Their rarity in the midst of a rally or descent underscores their potency as trend reversers post the second gap.
Strategic Trading Approach:
Post the reversal, enter a "short" trade below the low of the second downward gap in an uptrend. Conversely, in a downtrend, initiate a "long" trade above the high of the second upward gap. This tactical entry ensures you ride the wave of the emerging trend with precision.
Strategically Placed Stops and Targets:
Prudence dictates placing a "stop" order if the market closes above the high of the Island Reversal pattern for short trades or below the low for long trades. This precautionary measure safeguards your positions, preventing potential losses. As for targets, Island Reversals, being formidable trend indicators, often lead to substantial profits. Set your sights on key event-driven support or resistance levels, guiding your exit strategy.
Island Reversal patterns hinting at impending shifts in market dynamics. By mastering these patterns and integrating them into our trading arsenal, we elevate our ability to navigate the market. Remember, fellow traders, every pattern tells a story; it's our job to listen, decode, and act. Happy trading!

So after an IPO mania, there was consolidation with higher lows in 2020 and now there is an island gap on the daily chart.
If this gap won't be filled than new highs will come. I hope to see that but be that as it may with the gap I consider this as a buy and hold investment.
