Either it goes up or it goes down. It seems like nonsense. But it is not.
Subjectively, you can be wild and fanciful, but you must look at the facts objectively.
As shown in Figure 1, bearish triangle, fall back to the pattern, look for a breakout of the triangle.
As shown in Figure 2, bullish W bottom, look for a breakout.
No matter how you look at it, there is no right or wrong, the mistake is that you can't accept the actual trend of the market.
You are bullish, but in fact it has broken through the trend line or support, objectively accept the facts, stop loss when necessary.
You are bearish, but in fact it has broken through the downward trend to create a new high, don't stop loss, wait to carry it back? What if it doesn't come back?
