📊 Chart Patterns Cheat SheetPatterns are the distinctive formations created by the movements of security prices on a chart and are the foundation of technical analysis. A pattern is identified by a line connecting common price points, such as closing prices or highs or lows, during a specific period. Technical analysts seek to identify patterns to anticipate the future direction of a security’s price. These patterns can be as simple as trendlines and as complex as double head-and-shoulders formations. 🔹 Reversal patterns are those chart formations that signal that the ongoing trend is about to change course. If a reversal chart pattern forms during an uptrend, it hints that the trend will reverse and that the price will head down soon. Conversely, if a reversal chart pattern is seen during a downtrend, it suggests that the price will move up later on. 🔹 Continuation chart patterns are those chart formations that signal that the ongoing trend will resume. Usually, these are also known as consolidation patterns because they show how buyers or sellers take a quick break before moving further in the same direction as the prior trend. Trends don’t usually move in a straight line higher or lower. They pause and move sideways, “correct” lower or higher, and then regain momentum to continue the overall trend. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Educational (divergence + volume)Hi guys, in order to spot a divergence you should be careful which timeframe you're looking at. for example in the left picture, the daily timeframe is showing higher highs in price (at each candle) and lower highs in RSI (at each candle). but note that these are not highs and lows and as long as you can't find signs of accumulation and distribution in highs and lows (as long as there's no valid consolidation) you can't name them as highs and lows. so there's no divergence. but in the lower time frame (what is shown is 4h) you can see it more clearer that for every candle in the daily time frame, you have a specific trend in the 4H timeframe. so you can name them as highs and lows and yes, there is a divergence now. also, keep in mind that in the lower timeframe. every time you're making a new high in rsi, you should expect it to be more volatile and be more sensitive in a way that in the next new rsi high, you have less time spent in the overbought area. The next part is about the volume profile. you have less resistance in front of the price movement where there is less volume traded in the past. BUT NOT ALWAYS! less trades made in the past in an area means two things: 1- you can expect the price to move faster and sharper and take less time in that area 2- if the price wants to make a low or high or a pattern, it's less predictable and there's more chance of wrong analysis and fake patterns. Feel free to leave any comments and ask questions!

Learn a Triple Top Pattern | Classic Reversal Pattern You Must 🟢What is the Triple Top Pattern? A triple top chart pattern is a bearish reversal chart pattern that is formed after an uptrend. This pattern is formed with three peaks above a support level/neckline. The first peak is formed after a strong uptrend and then retrace back to the neckline. The formation of this pattern is completed when the prices move back to the neckline after forming the third peak. When the prices break through the neckline or the support level after forming three peaks then the bearish trend reversal is confirmed. 🟢Trading the Triple Top There are some rules when trading the Triple Top chart pattern. ✔️Firstly one should identify the market phase whether it is in uptrend or downtrend. As the triple top is formed at the end of an uptrend, the prior trend should be an uptrend. ✔️Traders should spot if three rounding tops are forming. ✔️Traders should only enter the short position when the price breaks out from the support level or the neckline. 🟢Stop Loss In the case of a Triple Top chart pattern, the stop loss should be placed at the third top of the pattern. 🟢Price Target The price target should be equal to the distance between the neckline and the tops, also taking into the account the key levels below.

🔠 The ABCD PatternThe ABCD is a basic harmonic pattern. All other patterns derive from it. The pattern consists of 3 price swings. The lines AB and CD are called “legs”, while the line BC is referred to as a correction or a retracement. AB and CD tend to have approximately the same size. A bullish ABCD pattern follows a downtrend and means that a reversal to the upside is likely. A bearish ABCD pattern is formed after an uptrend and signals a potential bearish reversal at a certain level. The rules for trading bullish and bearish ABCD patterns are the same, you will just need to take into account the direction of the pattern you trade and the movement of the market it predicts. 🔷Classic ABCD The point C should be at 61.8%-78.6% of AB. The point D, in its turn, should be at the 127.2%-161.8% Fibonacci expansion of BC. Notice that a 61.8% retracement at the point C tends to result in the 161.8% projection of BC, while a 78.6% retracement at the C point will lead to the 127% projection. 🔷AB = CD Here CD has exactly the same length as AB. In addition, it takes the market the equal time to travel from A to B as from C to D. As a Result, AB and CD have the same angle. This type of ABCD pattern is seen quite often and is popular among traders. 🔷ABCD Extension ABCD extension refers to when CD is the 127.2%-161.8% extension of AB. CD can be even 2 times (or more) bigger than AB. There actually are some signs that can hint that CD will be much longer than AB. They are a gap after point C or big candlesticks near point C. 📊Trading with ABCD pattern The key thing you should remember is that you can enter the trade only after the price reached the point D. Study the chart looking at the price’s highs and lows. It may be helpful to use ZigZag indicator (Insert – Indicators – Custom – ZigZag) that marks the chart’s swings. Watch the price as it forms AB and BC. In a bullish ABCD, C must be lower than A and should be the intermediate high after the low at B. Point D must be a new low below B. When the market arrives at a point, where D may be situated, don’t rush into a trade. Use some techniques to make sure that the price reversed up (or down if it’s a bearish ABCD). The best scenario is a reversal candlestick pattern. A buy order may be set at or above the high of the candle at point D. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

📉📈 ZigZag IndicatorZigZag's primary goal is to focus on significant swings and trends by removing insignificant and misleading price changes. ZigZag connects the price's highest and lowest points using straight lines while ignoring minor swings. ZigZag just aims to make sense of the market's previous movements; it makes no attempt to predict the price of an item. It is only based on hindsight and is not predictive in any way. It is based on the past prices of securities and cannot forecast the next swing highs and swing lows. 🟢Advantages It eliminates market noise and displays the most significant price fluctuations. It operates in several timeframes. When utilized in cooperation with other technical indicators, it gives positive results. 🔴Disadvantages It will mark the latest high or low of the price with a time lag. The last stretch of the indicator (the one that involves the current price) may be redrawn. Not predictive in any way, has to be used in combination of other strategies to be effective. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work , Please like, comment and follow

❌ False Breakout PatternsA breakout that failed to proceed past a level, leading to a "false" breakout of that level, is referred to as a "false breakout." One of the most essential price action trading patterns to learn is the false double bottom and double top patterns, as a false-break is frequently a very strong indicator that price may be changing direction or that a trend may soon resume. False breakouts occur in all market scenarios, including trending, consolidating, and counter-trending. Trading Tips To Respect: ✅False breakouts can happen in markets that are trending, range-bound, or going against the trend. Watch for them in all market conditions since they frequently provide insightful hints about the direction the market will take. ✅Trading against a trend can be challenging, but one of the "best" approaches is to watch for a clear false breakout signal from a significant support or resistance level, as in the last example above. ✅False breakouts provide us with a "window" into the "fight" between expert and amateur traders, allowing us to engage in trading alongside them. Trading will appear to you in a different light if you can learn to recognize and trade false breakout patterns. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work , Please like, comment and follow ❤️

6 Reliable Bullish Candlestick PatternHello dear traders, Here are some educational chart patterns that you must know in 2022 and 2023. I hope you find this information educational and informative. We are new here so we ask you to support our views with your likes and comments, Feel free to ask any questions in the comments, and we'll try to answer them all, folks. 6 Reliable Bullish Candlestick Pattern 1) The Hammer 2) Bullish Engulfing Crack 3) Bearish Engulfing Sandwich 4) Morning Star 5) Tweezer Bottom 6) Piercing Line 1. The Hammer:- Hammer is a bullish candlestick reversal candle. Which is formed within the next few candles. As the price declines sharply, we anticipate a final bounce. But how can we estimate without falling into overselling? That's where Hammer comes into play. This gives us evidence that the selling pressure is subsiding or being absorbed. Furthermore, if the volume signature associated with the hammer candle is significant, it adds even more confidence to our thesis. We are looking to cash in on shorts who are taking profits and covering, as well as dip buyers who are taking chances here on oversold positions. Expectation? an assembly. Ideally, you identify a hammer candle, take a long position on a break on the upside of the candle, and set risk on the low or in the body of the hammer. Bullish Hammer Example;- Let’s look at a real-life example with BTC. Right off the open, BTC retests the lows from the pre-market. Once it reaches those levels, volume increases slightly as it reverses on the 5-minute chart seen here. Visibly, there is a “shelf” forming near the low of the hammer candle’s body. The bar to the left and right is also closed and open in that price “shelf” area. The second 5-minute chart opens with a bit of weakness, then rallies strongly above the Hammer candle. This is your signal to go long. The break of the Hammer candle body. Set the stop below the close of this bullish 5-minute candle. 2. Bullish Engulfing Crack:- You can imagine that shorts will start covering given the rising price of the stock. This adds fuel to the already existing buying pressure. The result is a bullish candlestick pattern that swallows up the bears' efforts. For the long-biased trader, the opportunity is perfect. As is the case with any setup, we are looking for evidence to sway our confidence in either direction. The fact that the bears completely got away in this single bar is proof enough for us. You go long on the break of the previous bar and set the stop on the low. Bullish Engulfing Examples:- Here's a snapshot of BTC, which provided us with a beautiful opening range breakout (ORB) opportunity right out of the gate on this particular day: After the selloff, buyers come in and remove the selling pressure from the pre-market, engulfing the bears before moving up. To be safe, you enter long when the red candle breaks, setting your risk at the low level or body of the first green candle. There are some advanced traders who are more aggressive and may take their positions early if they feel a reversal is imminent. 3. Bearish Engulfing Sandwich:- do not be confused. Just because the name says "bearish" doesn't mean it's a bearish pattern. Far from it, actually. It is often referred to as a stick sandwich. The name is derived from the sandwiching of a "bearish engulfing" candle by two bullish candles. Thus, it is a bullish candlestick pattern in this context. Similar to the above example of a Bullish Engulfing Crack, this pattern takes a bit longer to "move through" so to speak. Essentially an extra bar. The perception is that the trend has reversed and we are now going down. After all, the bearish engulfing candle gives us that confidence, If you're on the smaller side, there's hope. However, stocks don't always do what we want them to. We have to react to what the market gives us, not what we think should happen. In this case, the Bearish Engulfing Crack is used by two bullish candles that move upwards. If you are short, hopefully, you have respected your stop loss. If you are a long-time bias, here is a good opportunity for you. Bearish Engulfing Sandwich Example:- After opening with a 5-minute candle chart, BTC gives a great view of it in real-time. In this case, the right side of the sandwich acts similarly to the Bullish Engulfing Crack candlestick pattern. For all intents and purposes, you should treat your entries and risk according to the same pattern. 4. The Morning Star:- Morning Star should gap down. It's difficult to find on an intraday basis. For this reason, we are good enough for a solid Doji candle reversal pattern. The opening candle should be long-bodied and bearish. The middle candle is the one with the smaller body. A reversal candle is another bullish candle with a long body (usually gaping up). The close of this bullish long-bodied candle should be above the midpoint of the first candle. Without much selling pressure, the candlestick climbs to higher prices as sellers cover and buyers take advantage of discounted stock pricing. Morning stars can also appear as morning Doji stars. They look almost identical except for the body of the middle candle. The story of buyers and sellers remains the same. Bullish Morning Star Example:- You can see this in action with the BTC example below. A long-body bearish candle, followed by a narrow-body indecision candle. The bulls take control of the next candle and the rest is history. It is worthwhile to note the volume of the first candle. We cannot assume that this is a complete recession. As you can see, there is buying pressure at lower levels. When a Doji candle is formed, it gives us confidence. As a result, as soon as the price moves away from the lower level of the green candle; It does this in small amounts. How can we explain that? It took less effort to increase the price. Therefore, we can assume that the reverse is "ease of movement". This should give us confidence in our long position. 5. Tweezer Bottom:- The Tweezer Bottom Bullish candlestick pattern consists of two candles – usually with small bodies. The first should be a red/bearish candle, and the second a green/bullish candle. Theoretically, the Tweezer Bottom alerts the chart reader to the fact that an attempt is being made to push the price down, but to no avail. Two smaller-sized candles represent the presence of demand in the market. Supply is being absorbed keeping candles short in the presence of selling pressure, so the volume sign will appear higher. Entry should be taken as soon as the price breaks through the second candle. Stops can be set on the lows. Bullish Tweezer Bottom Example:- BTC is displaying a beautiful tweezer bottom candlestick pattern for us on the 5-minute chart. Note the narrow bodies of the two candlesticks, their symmetry, and the close range from red to green. The volume of this first red Doji is particularly interesting. Note how high it is here. Given the context, we can interpret this as an absorption of supply. The second candlestick (green) then rapidly decreases in volume. Thus, our thesis is confirmed that sales are absorbed and eliminated. 6. Piercing Line:- The piercing line may look similar to a bullish engulfing pattern. The exception is that the piercing line does not completely encircle the previous candle. It is still considered a bullish candlestick pattern as it overcame the downward momentum to close at least midway in the body of the previous candle. It pierces the bottom line but inevitably retraces. Bullish Piercing Line Example:- Piercing lines may present a greater risk to reward at lower levels of support. They can also act as a spring in the trading range. This 5-minute chart of BTC shows the combination of an opening range breakout (ORB) with a piercing line. Together, it's a combination that can really add confidence to our entryways. As with any setup, the more evidence we have to confirm our bias and plan, the better. For this reason, it is always good to ask yourself: Are the trends in my favor? Is it time for a change? Does the volume confirm my thesis? Is the stock in an area of support or resistance? Are the multiple timeframes in line with my view? Trade with care.

💎 Diamond Chart PatternAll financial markets, including the stock market, forex market, cryptocurrency market, and futures markets, feature diamond reversal patterns. Compared to many other traditional chart designs, the diamond pattern is less frequent. However, it's critical that you understand and recognize the pattern since, when it happens, it can present a great trading opportunity. In general, a diamond top pattern that follows a rise in market prices offers a greater likelihood of a trade than a diamond bottom pattern that follows a decrease in market prices. 🟢 Bullish Scenario: After a decline, a bullish diamond pattern known as a diamond bottom appears. Typically, a diamond bottom is formed by a significant price decline followed by a consolidation phase that creates up and down swing points. The appearance in this situation will resemble an upside-down head and shoulders design. The structure's peaks and troughs will be connected in the same manner. 🔴 Bearish Scenario: The diamond top typically occurs at the peak of significant uptrends. It efficiently and accurately predicts imminent shortfalls and retracements. By focusing on a head-and-shoulders structure and adding trendlines to the highs and lows, a diamond top can be found. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work , Please like, comment and follow ❤️

📊 Understanding the Cup and Handle PatternA cup and handle is a technical analysis pattern that appears on a chart as a U-shaped pattern, followed by a small downward drift, resembling a handle. It is important to note that like all technical analysis patterns, the cup and handle pattern is not a guarantee of future price movements and should be used in conjunction with other analysis techniques. 📈Cup and Handle It is considered a bullish pattern and is often used by traders to indicate the potential for an upcoming price increase. The pattern is formed when the price of a security falls, reaches a bottom, and then rises back up to near its previous high before falling again. The downward drift that follows is the handle. The pattern is considered complete when the price breaks through the resistance level (the top of the cup) and continues to rise. Technical traders using this indicator should place a stop buy order slightly above the upper trendline of the handle part of the pattern. 📉Inverted Cup and Handle After the cup forms and the beginning of a noticeable handle takes shape, begin to monitor trading volume closely. One way to think of the inverted handle is a follow-up to an inverted cup. The inverted handle retraces the initial move, but not to the level of the original trend. Once you see a retracement in the form of an inverted handle of the original inverted cup pattern, setting a stop loss while selling the trend could be a potential trade idea. 👤 @algobuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work , Please like, comment and follow ❤️

📈 4 Common Bullish Patterns🟢 RISING THREE "Rising three methods" is a bullish continuation candlestick pattern that occurs in an uptrend and whose conclusion sees a resumption of that trend. This can be contrasted with a falling three method. The first bar of the pattern is a bullish candlestick with a large real body within a well-defined uptrend. 🟢 FALLING WEDGE The falling wedge pattern occurs when the asset’s price is moving in an overall bullish trend before the price action corrects lower. Within this pull back, two converging trend lines are drawn. The consolidation part ends when the price action bursts through the upper trend line, or wedge’s resistance. 🟢 BULL PENNANT A pennant is a type of continuation pattern formed when there is a large movement in a security, known as the flagpole, followed by a consolidation period with converging trend line. Pennants, which are similar to flags in terms of structure, have converging trend lines during their consolidation period and last from one to three weeks. 🟢 ASCENDING TRIANGLE An ascending triangle is a chart pattern used in technical analysis. It is created by price moves that allow for a horizontal line to be drawn along the swing highs and a rising trendline to be drawn along the swing lows. The two lines form a triangle. Traders often watch for breakouts from triangle patterns. The breakout can occur to the upside or downside 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work , Please like, comment and follow ❤️

HEAD AND SHOULDERS PATTERN - TRADING GUIDE Head and Shoulders pattern This lesson will cover the following What is a “Head and Shoulders” formation? How can it be confirmed? How can it be traded? The Head and Shoulders pattern forms after an uptrend, and if confirmed, marks a trend reversal. The opposite pattern, the Inverse Head and Shoulders, therefore forms after a downtrend and marks the end of the downward price movement. As you can guess by its name, the Head and Shoulders pattern consists of three peaks – a left shoulder, a head, and a right shoulder. The head should be the highest and the two shoulders should be at least relatively of equal height. As the price corrects from each peak, the lows retreat to form the so-called neckline, which is later used for confirming the pattern. Here is what an H&S pattern looks like. Other key elements of this pattern and its trade process are the breakouts, protective stops, profit target, and volume, which is used as an additional tool to confirm the trend reversal. So here is how you identify the Head and Shoulders pattern and how its individual components are characterized. Formation and confirmation In order to have a trend reversal pattern, you definitely need a trending market. Let's talk about the first model of H&S, the Inverse or Reversal will have the same methodology but exactly in the opposite way. While prices are trending up, our future patterns left shoulder forms as a peak, which marks the high of the current trend. For the shoulder to be formed, the price then needs to correct down, retreating to a low, which is usually above or at the trend line, thus, keeping the uptrend still in force. This low marks the first point used to determine where the neckline stands. Afterward, a new higher peak begins to form, stemming from the left shoulder low, which is our pattern head. As the market makes a higher high (the head), it then corrects back and usually, this is the point where the upward trend is penetrated, thus signaling a shift in momentum and a possible Head and Shoulders pattern. The second low that is touched after the retreat from the heads peak is the other point used to build the neckline, which is basically a line drawn through the two lows. The subsequent rebound from the second low forms the third peak – the right shoulder. It should be lower than the head and overall match the height of the left shoulder (keep in mind that exact matches rarely occur). It is also preferable that the two shoulders have required relatively the same amount of time to form as this would make the pattern stronger. In order for the Head and Shoulders pattern to be confirmed, the retreat from the third peak (the right shoulder) should penetrate the neckline and a candle should close below it. The neckline itself should be horizontal in the perfect case scenario, but that rarely happens. Instead, most often it is sloping up or down and that is of significance as well – a downward-sloping neckline is more bearish than an upward-sloping one. Volume As mentioned above, volume plays a key role as a confirmation tool and can be measured via indicators or by just analyzing its levels. Presumably, volume during the left shoulder advance should be higher than during the subsequent one, because as the head hits a higher high on the base of declining volume, this serves as an early signal for a possible reverse. This, however, does not happen every time. The next step of confirmation comes when volume increases during the decline from the head's peak and the last nail in the coffin are when volume gains further during the right shoulder's decline. Trading the pattern, stops and profit targets We said earlier that the Head and Shoulders pattern is deemed confirmed if the right shoulder's decline penetrates through the neckline and a candle closes below it. As soon as that happens and you are reassured that it is not a false breakout, you can enter into a short position. However, as you already know, no trading decisions should be made on the go, i.e. you need to have predetermined where your protective stop is going to stand and what your profit target is. Protective stop There are two common places where you can place your stop loss. The first one, which is more conservative, is right above the peak of the head, while a more standard position is right beyond the right shoulder. You can see those visualized in the following screenshot. The second option makes more sense because if the breakout through the neckline actually fails and the price rebounds back with such momentum that it rises beyond the right shoulder, then the whole pattern is flawed and you definitely do not need to wait for it to exceed the head as well. Besides, such a loose stop significantly increases the risk and reduces the risk/reward ratio, thus, reducing this pattern's trading appeal. Profit target The most common and often advised profit target is the distance (number of pips) between the head's peak and the neckline. Having estimated that distance, you then need to subtract it from the neckline, just like in the screenshot below. And how does that translate in terms of risk/reward ratio? If the breakout confirmation (the close beyond the neckline) appears very close to the neckline itself, and we enter into a short position there, we generally have a 1:1 risk-to-reward proportion, if we use a conservative protective stop. Why? Since our profit target is the distance between the heads peak and the neckline, if we decide to use the conservative option for a protective stop, then we will have the same distance as a loss limit, thus, reducing our risk-to-reward ratio to 1:1. This is why, in order to improve that ratio, most experienced traders place their protective stops more often above the right shoulders peak, given that they use the head-to-neckline profit target. However, keep in mind that this price distance should serve as a rough target, because things are usually not that straightforward and other factors such as previous support levels, crossing mid-term and long-term moving averages, etc. must be taken into consideration as well. Two ways to trade the Head and Shoulders Pattern There are generally two ways to trade this pattern, depending on how it plays out. The first one we've already mentioned. As soon as a candle closes below the neckline as a sign of confirmation, you enter into a short position with the respective profit target and protective stop described above. Now for the second way to trade the H&S formation. In this case, we have a pullback after the neckline penetration, which, once support, now acts as a resistance level. This time we need to go short once the price pulls back and tests the neckline as resistance. As soon as it rebounds from the neckline, we enter into a short position, using the same principle for placing the protective stop and aiming for the same profit as in the first scenario. Here is what this would look like.

📚 The Difference Between a Reversal and a Continuation!Hello TradingView Family / Fellow Traders. This is Richard, as known as theSignalyst. Today I want to share an interesting pattern that I always use to speculate (to an extent) the next move of an asset after an impulse movement. First , locate an impulse movement, bullish or bearish. Second , wait for the correction movement to start. 📌In case of a bullish impulse: 1- if the correction movement is bearish , then expect a continuation bullish impulse to follow. 2- if the correction movement is bullish , then expect a reversal bearish movement to follow. And vice versa... 📌In case of a bearish impulse: 3- if the correction movement is bullish , then expect a continuation bearish impulse to follow. 4- if the correction movement is bearish , then expect a reversal bullish movement to follow. 📉 We can clearly see this pattern is playing out nicely on BTC weekly chart . I have highlighted many example with its pattern number respectively. And you can always refer to the cheat sheet on the left inside the two circles. If we apply the same logic to the current price action. Is BTC currently in a bearish correction as per our case #4? 🗒What do you think? Always follow your trading plan regarding entry, risk management, and trade management. Good luck! And always remember: All Strategies Are Good; If Managed Properly! ~Rich

2B Trading PatternIn an uptrend, if a higher high is made but fails to carry through, and then prices drop below the previous high, then the trend is apt to reverse. The converse is true for down trends. This observation applies in any of the three trends; short-term, intermediate-term, or long-term. A 2B on a minor high or low will usually occur within one day or less of the time the high or low is made. For 2B's on intermediate highs or lows preceding a correction, the new high or low point will usually break within three to five days. At major market turning points, long-term 2B's, the new high or low will usually break within seven to ten days. In the stock market, after the new high is made, the failure to carry forward usually occurs on low to normal volume, and the confirmation of a reversal occurs on higher volume. The above can be found on the internet, just look up 2B chart pattern. I would usually recommend your default as being, sell low, buy lower. & buy high, sell higher. My next trading mantra would be that double bottoms are not Support, and double tops are not Resistance. They are where the stops are. And therefore a major target. But every now and then the market does turn. After a period of impulsive moves, the market comes to rest and goes into a consolidation. It may make one last attempt at continuing the prevailing trend, only to find there are fewer market participants willing to push it on. This is when you look for 2B's

REVERSAL AND CONTINUATION PATTERNS ⚡️Chart patterns are visual representations of price action. Chart patterns can show trading ranges, swings, trends, and reversals in price action. The signal for buying and selling a chart pattern is usually a trend line breakout in one direction showing support or resistance is overcome at a key level. Stop losses are usually set on retracement back inside the previous range and profit targets are usually set based on the magnitude of the previous move leading into the pattern. Many people think of chart patterns as bullish or bearish but there are really three main types of chart pattern groups: reversal chart patterns, continuation chart patterns, and bilateral chart patterns. Understanding the differences is important for traders to understand the path of least resistance on a specific chart based on the primary sentiment of the buyers and sellers price action. Well in this article we will discuss the Reversal chart patterns and the Continuation chart patterns. Reversal chart patterns Reversal patterns happen when a chart has a strong break from its current trend and its momentum reverses course. These patterns show that a trend is coming to an end and the price action is moving in a new direction away from the previous range or direction. These patterns go from bullish to bearish or bearish to bullish. They can take longer to develop than other types of chart patterns. Now I'll show you how the 3 Bullish and Bearish patterns shown in the picture in this Education post. Double TOP and BOTTOM: Well for this first pair of patterns, I have already made a very nice and detailed explanation here in Tradingview, follow the link :) Click Below in the picture. Head & Shoulder and Reversal H&S A head and shoulders pattern used in technical analysis is a specific chart formation that predicts a bullish-to-bearish trend reversal. The pattern appears as a baseline with three peaks, where the outside two are close in height, and the middle is the highest. The head and shoulders pattern forms when a stock's price rises to a peak and then declines back to the base of the prior up-move. Then, the price rises above the previous peak to form the "head" and then declines back to the original base. Finally, the stock price peaks again at about the level of the first peak of the formation before falling back down. The head and shoulders pattern is considered one of the most reliable trend reversal patterns. It is one of several top patterns that signal, with varying degrees of accuracy, that an upward trend is nearing its end and vice versa. and Viceversa the reversal will look like this Reversal Rising Wedge and Falling Wedge A wedge pattern can signal either bullish or bearish price reversals. In either case, this pattern holds three common characteristics: first, the converging trend lines; second, a pattern of declining volume as the price progresses through the pattern; third, a breakout from one of the trend lines. The two forms of the wedge pattern are a rising wedge (which signals a bearish reversal) and a falling wedge (which signals a bullish reversal). Rising Wedge This usually occurs when a security’s price has been rising over time, but it can also occur in the midst of a downward trend as well. Falling Wedge Continuation chart patterns Continuation patterns signal that the current trend is still in place and it’s about to resume going in the same direction after a trading range has formed. These types of patterns usually form consolidations in price action to let buyers and sellers work through supply and demand before moving higher or lower like the previous trend leading into the range. These are the most popular classic bearish and bullish chart patterns. Continuation Falling Wedge The falling wedge pattern is a continuation pattern formed when the price bounces between two downward-sloping, converging trendlines. It will follow the impulse trend, so a Bullish trend will continue in the uptrend and Vice-versa for il downtrend. And Vice versa the Rising Wedge The Bullish and the Bearish Rectangle A rectangle is a pattern that occurs on price charts. A rectangle is formed when the price reaches the same horizontal support and resistance levels multiple times. The price is confined to moving between the two horizontal levels, creating a rectangle. Bullish Rectangle Bearish Rectangle: Bullish and Bearish Pennant In technical analysis, a pennant is a type of continuation pattern formed when there is a large movement in a security, known as the flagpole, followed by a consolidation period with converging trend lines "the pennant" followed by a breakout movement in the same direction as the initial large movement, which represents the second half of the flagpole. Some examples: Hope this post will help you to understand the difference between some examples of the most common reversal and continuation patterns.

What is the Triple Top Pattern❓ 🟢What is the Triple Top Pattern? A triple top chart pattern is a bearish reversal chart pattern that is formed after an uptrend. This pattern is formed with three peaks above a support level/neckline. The first peak is formed after a strong uptrend and then retrace back to the neckline. The formation of this pattern is completed when the prices move back to the neckline after forming the third peak. When the prices break through the neckline or the support level after forming three peaks then the bearish trend reversal is confirmed. 🟢Trading the Triple Top There are some rules when trading the Triple Top chart pattern. ✔️Firstly one should identify the market phase whether it is in uptrend or downtrend. As the triple top is formed at the end of an uptrend, the prior trend should be an uptrend. ✔️Traders should spot if three rounding tops are forming. ✔️Traders should only enter the short position when the price breaks out from the support level or the neckline. 🟢Stop Loss In the case of a Triple Top chart pattern, the stop loss should be placed at the third top of the pattern. 🟢Price Target The price target should be equal to the distance between the neckline and the tops, also taking into the account the key levels below.

📊Bitcoin HIDEN pattern!Every pattern in trading is created by someone. Why not be the author of the pattern? If you see a succesfull price pattern, you can make a backtest and use it in your trading strategy. In this idea i`ll show you some BTC pattern which the crypto follow for 4-5 years. This pattern is very simple. After the consolidation the price break the range and fell. After dumpo for 50-60% which is liquidated all margin long traders the price continue it`s rise for XXX%. The key thing is the consolidation for 5-12 months. Consolidation is the price movement is the range. Price can consolidate not only inside the patterns as it shown on the chart (channel, triangle, etc.), but just inside the price range $10-12k, $18-22k etc. How does consolidation happen? Consolidation in the price range appears because of the uncertainty of traders in which direction the price will go. When there is conditionally 50% of long traders and 50% of short traders in the market, the price can move only in a narrow range due to uncertainty. What happens when price breaks through a consolidation? For an example of consolidation, let's imagine that price is a spring. The harder the spring is compressed, the more it bounces back. When the price breaks through the consolidation, it contracts like a "spring" and most often falls by 40-50%, as you can see on the chart. After such a huge drop and the liquidation of all long traders, price bounces up. Since most long traders became fuel for the fall, now the short traders who wanted to make money on the fall become fuel for the growth. Now it`s the same! Is the BTC reach the bottom and can start the growth? A lot of traders expect the DUMP to 12-14k and as we know everyone can`t earn, only prepared one. What the price mark will be the bottom for BTC? Or BTC already there? Leave your thoughts on it in the comments! 💻Friends, press the "like"👍 button, write comments and share with your friends - it will be the best THANK YOU. P.S. Personally, I open an entry if the price shows it according to my strategy. Always do your analysis before making a trade.

How the higher time frames help you to avoid unnecessary losses Hello everyone: Today I want to discuss the importance of higher time frame analysis. Doesn't matter what type of trading strategy, method or style you use, the higher time frame often will help us to strengthen our bias overall and give us a good perspective of the possible direction for the price to go. In addition, it helps traders to avoid unnecessary losses and mediocre entries that will eat up your profits. More often I hear traders will execute trades on the lower time frames, and not factor the overall higher time frame bias and perspective. Although entering on the smaller time frame can potentially give you more Risk:Reward, it's often more risky and trades can easily reverse, then hit the stop loss. This often creates stress, negativity, and revenge trading psychology for traders which ended up blowing accounts. I want to give a few examples of higher time frame analysis, how they can help traders to avoid “traps” on the lower time frames, avoid unnecessary losses, and keep the emotion at bay to trade another day. When having a bullish bias on the HTFs, its good risk management to not consider any short term, bearish sell setups. These sell setups may form on the LTFs, but they can easily not continue to your desired target, and reverse up before you have time to react. In addition, traders hate to see profit come and go. So if a trader has a short position running in some profit, but decides to hold onto the trade, and once the position reverses, traders don't want to exit, and then end up holding a losing position to its SL. Examples: AUDUSD: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: Many LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, they ended up with losses NZDUSD: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: Many LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, they ended up with losses AUDCHF: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss NZDCHF: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss NZDCAD: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss SILVER: HTF: Overall bias and perspective in bullish LTF: LTF bearish setups/development, but due to going against the HTF, ended up with loss
