Chart patterns
Chart patterns are formations visually identifiable by the careful
study of charts. Completing chart patterns indicates the beginning
of a new move, a new leg of the price movement, or a reversal of
the current trend direction. Completion of a chart pattern enables
the trader to identify the best entry point in the market for swing
trading as it indicates the beginning of the next big swing move.

Forex chart patterns
Chart patterns are classified as a continuation pattern and reversal
patterns based on the patterns’ ability to reflect the underlying
asset’s directional bias. The completion of continuation patterns
indicates the best possibility of the prices to continue the movement
in the trend direction. In contrast, the completion of a reversal
pattern suggests the market’s strong tendency to reverse its current
trend. Both continuation patterns and reversal patterns provide a
forex trader with the best trading opportunities.

HEAD AND SHOULDERS
A head and shoulders pattern is also a trend reversal formation.
It is formed by a peak (shoulder), followed by a higher peak (head),
and then another lower peak (shoulder).
A “neckline” is drawn by connecting the lowest points of the two
troughs.The slope of this line can either be up or down. Typically,
when the slope is down, it produces a more reliable signal.
7
INVERTED HEAD AND SHOULDERS
The name speaks for itself. It is basically a head and shoulders
formation, except this time it’s upside down.
A valley is formed (shoulder), followed by an even lower
valley (head), and then another higher valley (shoulder).
These formations occur after extended downward movements.
8
Double Top pattern
A double top pattern is a reversal pattern formed
after a very significant upward price movement
. The "Top" are the peaks that are formed when the price touches a certain
level that cannot be broken through.
After reaching this level, the price will bounce slightly, but then it will
return to test the level again. If the price bounces off that level again, then
there will be a "Double top Pattern".
9
Double Bottom Pattern
The duoble bottom pattern is also a trend reversal formation
But this time we are looking to go long instead of
. These formation occurs after a strong downtrend, when two valleys or
"bottoms" have formed.
This is a sign that the selling pressure is about finished
and that a reversal is about to occur.
10
TRIPLE TOP PATTERN
Triple tops and are an extension of the double top pattern
and is a bearish reversal pattern. The formation of three
consecutive tops and the price break below the neckline
confirms the pattern completion.The entry point is upon the
neckline’s break, and the risk is calculated towards the
swing high C, and profits can be booked at a 1:2 risk
11
TRIPLE BOTTOM PATTERN
Triple bottoms are the opposite of the triple top pattern and is a
bullish reversal pattern.
A triple bottom pattern shows 3 different small lows at around
the similar amount. The triple bottom is regarded to be a
difference of the head and shoulders bottom. Like that pattern,
the triple bottom is a reversal pattern.
12
BEARISH RECTANGLE
A bearish rectangle is formed when the price consolidates for a
while during a downtrend.
This happens because sellers need to pause and
Catch their breath before taking the pair any lower.
13
BULLISH RECTANGLE
The rounded Bottom pattern is a bullish reversal pattern and
is opposite of the rounded top pattern. It is traded once the
neckline is broken and the stop are placed at the lowest low
of the curve, while take profits can be placed at a reasonable
risk and reward ratio.
14
ASCENDING TRIANGLE
An ascending triangle is a type of triangle chart pattern that
occurs when there is a resistance level and a slope of higher
lows.
What happens during this time is that there is a certain level that
the buyers cannot seem to exceed. However, they are gradually
starting to push the price up as evidenced by the higher lows.
15
DESCENDING TRIANGLE
As you probably guessed, descending triangles are the exact
opposite of ascending triangles
In descending triangle chart patterns, there is a string of
lower highs that forms the upper line. The lower line is a
support level in which the price cannot seem to break.
16
RISING WEDG
A rising wedge is formed when the price consolidates between
upward sloping support and resistance lines. If the rising wedge
forms after an uptrend, it’s usually a bearish reversal pattern.
On the other hand, if it forms during a downtrend, it could signal a
continuation of the down move.
17
FALLING WEDG
Just like the rising wedge, the falling wedge can either be a reversal
or continuation signal.As a reversal signal, it is formed at a bottom
of a downtrend, indicating that an uptrend would come next.
As a continuation signal, it is formed during an uptrend, implying
that the upward price action would resume. Unlike the rising
wedge, the falling wedge is a bullish chart pattern.
18
BEARISH PENNANT
A bearish pennant is formed during a steep, almost vertical,
downtrend.After that sharp drop in price, some sellers close their
positions while other sellers decide to join the trend, making the
price consolidate for a bit As soon as enough sellers jump in, the
price breaks below the bottom of the pennant and continues to move
down
19
Bullish PENNANT
Bullish pennants, just like its name suggests, signals that bulls are
about to go a-chargin’ again.This means that the sharp climb in
price would resume after that brief period of consolidation when
bulls gather enough energy to take the price higher again.In this
example, the price made a sharp vertical climb before taking a
breather.

Limitations
Trading after the pattern’s completion is essential for
successful trading; however, traders tend to be impatient and
enter the markets early. Mere completion of the pattern does
not warrant immediate price movement, so traders need to
look for additional confirmation of price action before
deciding to place the trades. Though patterns occur
repeatedly, they may not be successful every time; they need
to be validated in the context of price action as price
movements are very dynamic
Conclusion
Best technical traders always look for clues in the charts and
use the charts to make their trading decisions. Chart patterns
provide the traders with invaluable insight and assist the
traders in spotting the best entry points. It’s always
recommended to keep a chart pattern cheat sheet .
