MASTER THESE CHART PATTERNS TO LEVEL UP YOUR TRADING!
Chart patterns are key to understanding price action and making smarter trades. Let’s break down the 3 main types: Reversal, Continuation, and Bilateral patterns.
🔄 Reversal Patterns – Hint at a possible trend change
1️⃣ Double Top – Bearish. Two peaks at the same resistance, followed by a drop.
2️⃣ Head & Shoulders – Bearish. Three peaks, with a break below the neckline confirming the reversal.
3️⃣ Rising Wedge – Bearish. Price rises within narrowing highs and lows, then breaks downward.
4️⃣ Double Bottom – Bullish. Two troughs at the same support, then a move upward.
5️⃣ Inverse Head & Shoulders – Bullish. Same as H&S, but upside down — breaks above the neckline.
6️⃣ Falling Wedge – Bullish. Downward-sloping pattern that breaks out higher.
▶️ Continuation Patterns – Signal that the trend will likely continue
1️⃣ Falling Wedge – Bullish. Price dips within a narrowing channel, then pops upward.
2️⃣ Bullish Rectangle – Sideways range, then breakout to the upside.
3️⃣ Bullish Pennant – Small triangle after an uptrend, usually leads to further gains.
4️⃣ Rising Wedge – Bearish. Price climbs in a tight channel, then breaks down.
5️⃣ Bearish Rectangle – Sideways chop before breaking lower.
6️⃣ Bearish Pennant – Small triangle after a downtrend, often leads to more downside.
🔀 Bilateral Patterns – Breakout can go either way
1️⃣ Ascending Triangle – Rising lows + flat top. Can break up or down.
2️⃣ Descending Triangle – Falling highs + flat bottom. Direction depends on breakout.
3️⃣ Symmetrical Triangle – Converging highs and lows. Breakout direction is 50/50.
