Learn Best Price Action Patterns by Accuracy Last year, I shared more than 1300 free signals and forecasts for Gold, Forex, Commodities and Indexes. In my predictions, quite often I relied on classic price action patterns. In this article, I will reveal the win rate of each pattern, the most accurate and the least accurate formations of the last year. Please, note that all the predictions and forecasts that I shared this year are available on TradingView and you can back test any of the setup that I identified this year by your own. Just choose a relevant tag on my TradingView page. Also, some forecasts & signals were based on a combination of multiple patterns. Here is the list of the patterns that I personally trade: 🔘 Double Top or Bottom with Equal Highs The pattern is considered to be valid when the highs or lows of the pattern are equal. The pattern gives a bearish/bullish signal when its neckline is broken. 🔘 Double Top or Bottom with Lower High/Higher Low or Cup & Handle The pattern is considered to be valid when the second top/bottom of the patterns is lower/higher than the first one. The pattern gives a bearish/bullish signal when its neckline is broken. 🔘 Head & Shoulders and Inverted Head and Shoulders The pattern gives a bearish/bullish signal when its neckline is broken. 🔘 Horizontal Range The pattern is the extension of a classic double top/bottom with at least 3 equal highs/lows. The pattern gives a bearish/bullish signal when its neckline is broken. 🔘 Bullish/Bearish Flag The pattern represents a rising/falling parallel channel. It gives a bullish/bearish signal when its upper/lower boundary is broken. 🔘 Rising/Falling Wedge Pattern The pattern represents a contracting rising/falling channel. It gives a bullish/bearish signal when its upper/lower boundary is broken. 🔘 Rising/Falling Expanding Wedge The pattern represents an expanding rising/falling channel. It gives a bullish/bearish signal when its upper/lower boundary is broken. 🔘 Descending/Ascending Triangle The pattern is the extension of a cup & handle pattern with at least 2 lower highs/lows. The pattern gives a bearish/bullish signal when its neckline is broken. Please, also note that all the patterns that I identified and traded were formed on key horizontal or vertical structures. Remember that the accuracy of any pattern drops dramatically if it is formed beyond key levels. I consider the pattern to be a winning one if after a neckline breakout, it managed to reach the closest horizontal or vertical structure, not invalidating the pattern's highs/lows. For example, if the price violated the high of the cup and handle pattern after its neckline breakout, such a pattern is losing one. If it reached the closest structure without violation of the high, it is a winning pattern. 🔍 Double Top or Bottom with Equal Highs I spotted 85 setups featuring these patterns. Their accuracy is 62%. 🥉 Double Top or Bottom with Lower High/Higher Low or Cup & Handle 96 setups were spotted. The performance turned out to be a little bit higher than a classic double top/bottom with 65% of the setups hitting the target. 🔍 Head & Shoulders and Inverted Head and Shoulders 58 formations spotted this year. Average win rate is 64% 🏆 Horizontal Range The most accurate pattern of this year. More than 148 patterns were spotted and 74% among them gave accurate signal. 🔍 Bullish/Bearish Flag 38 setups identified this year. The accuracy of the pattern is 57% Rising/Falling Wedge The pattern turned out to be a little bit more accurate. Among 62 formations, 59% end up being profitable. 👎 Rising/Falling Expanding Wedge The worst pattern of this year. I recognized 24 patterns and their accuracy was just 51%. 🥈 Descending/Ascending Triangle 64 patterns were identified. The win rate of the pattern is 66%. The most important conclusion that we can make analyzing the performance of these patterns is that they all have an accuracy above 50%. If you properly combine these patterns with some other technical or fundamental tools, the accuracy of the setup will increase dramatically. Good luck in your trading! ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

Algorithmic Identification and Classification of Chart PatternsWelcome to the world of technical analysis, where chart patterns play a pivotal role in shaping trading strategies. This is an ultimate guide designed to help users objectively identify the existence of patterns, define the characteristics and classify them. In this discussion, we will mainly concentrate on the patterns formed by trend line pairs. This includes wedges, triangles and channel type patterns. 🎲 Basic Principle of Identifying the Pattern It is very important to apply definitely set of rules when identifying the patterns in order to avoid biases or fitting patterns to our opinions. The dangers of overfitting the patterns to our bias is documented in the idea To identify the patterns objectively, we need to set some ground rules or follow a well-defined technique to derive the patterns. Here is the technique we follow to identify chart patterns. 🎲 Only Indicator Required - Zigzag Tradingview has plenty of free community scripts for Zigzag indicator. For this demonstration, we are going to use our Multi Timeframe Recursive Zigzag implementation. Once the indicator is loaded on the chart, go to indicator settings and perform these modifications. Disable the Labels : The Labels contain information that is needed for this exercise. Set the Highlight level to 1 or 0 : We can iteratively increase the level and check next levels on the go. You can also adjust Zigzag Length and Depth Parameters. 🎲 Scanning and Identification of valid Pattern We can either use 5 pivots or 6 pivots for pattern identification. 5-Pivot based scanning will generate more patterns than 6-Pivot based scanning. 6 pivot patterns are geometrically more accurate however, there is no proof that 6-Pivot based patterns produce better trading outcome. 🎯 Step 1 - On each level of zigzag, mark the last 5 or 6 zigzag pivots. Since we are using Multi Timeframe Recursive Zigzag implementation, we can gradually increase the zigzag level from 0. This means that on every level, we can check if there are any patterns. On each level - consider only the last 5 or 6 pivots and mark them on the chart. Markings on Level 0 would look like this for 5 and 6 pivot scanning 🎯 Step 2: Draw Trend Lines As part of this step, draw two trend lines. The first trend line will join pivots 1 and 5 marked in the previous step. The second trend line will join pivots 2 and 4 marked in the previous step for 5 pivot scanning. For 6 pivot scanning, the trend line joining pivots 2 and 6 will be marked. 🎯 Step 3: Inspect the validity of trend lines A valid trend line is the one that confirm to below two points Touches all the alternate pivots. For example, the trend line drawn from pivot 1 to 5 should also make contact with the candle of pivot 3. In case of 6 pivot scanning, the trend drawn from pivot 2 to 6 should also make contact with the candle of pivot 4. All the candles from the starting pivot to ending pivot of the zigzag should be confined within the trend line pairs. Meaning, no candles should completely go above the upper trend line and no candle should completely go below the lower trend line. Please note that while verifying the above points, minor adjustments in the alignment of the trend line can be made. Start and end of the trend line does not need to be on the high/low points of the candle, it can also be placed in any of the wick positions. After adjusting the trend lines, in both type of scanning, we can see that the trend lines confirm to the above-mentioned rules. Hence, we have arrived with valid patterns in both types of scanning on the level 0 zigzag. 🎲 Classification of Patterns Once the patterns are identified, they need to be classified into different types. We need to apply predetermined rules to objectively classify patterns into what they are. Everyone can build their own rules. 🎯 Properties of Derived Trend Lines Before classifying the trend lines, we need to understand below properties of the derived trend lines. ▶ Direction of Individual Trend Lines Both the trend lines needs to be individually classified among these categories Rising - Trend Line is sharply rising up. Falling - Trend Line is sharply falling down. Flat - Trend Line is flat across the pivots. Bi-Directional - Trend Lines are moving in opposite directions Please note that, it is less probable for trend line to absolutely flat. Hence, allow angle to have certain degree of threshold to be considered as flat. For example, +- 10 degrees can be considered as flat. Also, the angle of the trend line can further subjective based on how compressed the chart is. It is recommended to use either log/auto-scale or a specific formula based on ATR to identify the angle. ▶ Characteristic of the Trend Line Pairs This parameter defines how both trend lines are aligned with respect to each other. Possible options are: Converging - Trend Lines are converging and when extended towards the right will intersect at a visible distance. Diverging - Trend Lines are diverging from each other and when extended towards the left will intersect at a visible distance. Parallel - Trend Lines are almost parallel to each other and may not intersect to either right or to left at a visible distance. To objectively identify the intersection distance, we further need to use some standard. Here are few options Fixed Number of Bars : If the trend lines do not intersect to either left or right within X bars (Lets say 100), they can be considered as parallel. Otherwise, they can be classified as converging or diverging based on which side the intersection happens. Relative to the Length of Pattern : If the length of longest trend line is X bars. The trend lines should converge within 1–2 times the X bars to be considered as converging or diverging. Or else, it can be termed as parallel channels. 🎯 Geometrical Shapes Classification Following are the main geometrical classifications based on the characteristics of the trend lines and the pair. Channels - Trend Lines are parallel to each other. And hence they both move in the same directions. Wedges - Trend Lines are either converging or diverging from each other. However, both trend lines move in the same direction. Both trend lines will be either up or down. Triangles - Trend Lines are either converging or diverging from each other. But, unlike wedges, upper and lower trend lines will have different direction. 🎲 Types of Patterns Once we identify the direction and characteristics of trend lines, we can go on and classify the pattern in following categories. Details below. Please note that examples are generated programmatically. 🎯 Rising Wedge (Contracting) Rules for Contracting Rising Wedge are as follows: Both Trend Lines are Rising Trend Lines are converging. 🎯 Rising Wedge (Expanding) Rules for the Expanding Rising Wedge are as follows: Both Trend Lines are rising Trend Lines are diverging. 🎯 Falling Wedge (Contracting) Rules for the Contracting Falling Wedge are as follows: Both Trend Lines are falling Trend Lines are contracting. 🎯 Falling Wedge (Expanding) Rules for the Expanding Falling Wedge are as follows: Both Trend Lines are falling Trend Lines are diverging. 🎯 Contracting/Converging Triangle Rules for the Contracting Triangle are as follows The upper trend line is falling The lower trend line is rising Naturally, the trend lines are converging. 🎯 Rising Triangle (Contracting) The rules for the Contracting Rising Triangle are as follows The upper trend line is flat The lower trend line is rising Naturally, the trend lines are converging towards each other 🎯 Falling Triangle (Contracting) The rules for the Contracting Falling Triangle are as follows The upper trend line is falling The lower trend line is flat Naturally, the trend lines are converging towards each other 🎯 Expanding/Diverging Triangle Rules for the Expanding Triangle are as follows The upper trend line is rising The lower trend line is falling Naturally, the trend lines are diverging from each other. 🎯 Rising Triangle (Expanding) The rules for the Expanding Rising Triangle are as follows The upper trend line is rising The lower trend line is flat Naturally, the trend lines are diverging from each other 🎯 Falling Triangle (Expanding) The rules for the Expanding Falling Triangle are as follows The upper trend line is flat The lower trend line is falling Naturally, the trend lines are diverging from each other 🎯 Rising/Uptrend Channel Rules for the Uptrend Channel are as follows Both trend lines are rising Trend lines are parallel to each other 🎯 Falling/Downtrend Channel Rules for the Downtrend Channel are as follows Both trend lines are falling Trend lines are parallel to each other 🎯 Ranging Channel Rules for the Ranging Channel are as follows: Both trend lines are flat Naturally, the trend lines are parallel to each other.

Market structure, Right side of the marketMarket structure is one of the most important thing one can learn in trading. If you are day trading or investing staying on right side of the market is very important. Market structure help to identify the right side of the market. Lets say market is making HH (Higher high) and HL (higher low) that's bullish market structure. Meaning buyers are in control and its a bull trend. If market making LL (Lower low) and LH (Lower high) then seller are in control making it a bear trend. Market are always in trend or trading range. In trend you are either in a bull trend or a bear trend. Market usually don't go from bull trend to bear trend. Often it will stay a trading range after a trend. If market breaks that trading range in trend direction then we call that flag pattern. If it was a bull tend a bull flag and on a bear trend a bear flag, but if price fails to continue going in earlier trend direction then its become a failed flag and then trader thinks we might get a trend reversal. lets say market is in a bull trend so its making HH and HL . But if market fail to make a HH or HL and it ends up making LH then people start to think if this bull trend is still a strong bull trend which can cause market to shift from bull trend to trading range. And after a LL many bull will get out of their position which could create a LH and end up reversing a trend. In which case if price in a bull structure and market making HH and HL you should only be a buyer and after market structure change its direction then you can think if you should sell.

a rising wedgeA rising wedge is a pattern that forms on a fluctuating chart and is caused by a narrowing amplitude. If you draw lines along with the highs and lows, then the two lines will form an imaginary angle that will narrow over time. Moreover, this angle’s inclination must be positive; the resulting corner should be pointing upward, indicating an uptrend. A rising wedge is a bearish reversal pattern. Typically, a rising wedge reverses an uptrend, but there are exceptions. It sometimes happens that the rising wedge continues the trend. If there was a downtrend before the rising wedge, then the price goes down after the wedge, and it turns out that the rising wedge continues the trend. But it is important to remember that in any case, after the rising wedge, there is a price decline. The rising wedge is not a very common pattern and is not very easy to spot. Even though bulls and bears appear to be in relative equilibrium, the narrowing of the rising wedge corridor suggests that supply is winning. In the end, buyers break down, and sellers take control of the market. To determine how the price will behave further, it is necessary to further analyze this instrument. Trading Advantages for Wedge Patterns As a general rule, price pattern strategies for trading systems rarely yield returns that outperform buy-and-hold strategies over time, but some patterns do appear to be useful in forecasting general price trends nonetheless. Some studies suggest that a wedge pattern will breakout towards a reversal (a bullish breakout for falling wedges and a bearish breakout for rising wedges) more often than two-thirds of the time, with a falling wedge being a more reliable indicator than a rising wedge. Because wedge patterns converge to a smaller price channel, the distance between the price on entry of the trade and the price for a stop loss, is relatively smaller than the start of the pattern. This means that a stop loss can be placed close by at the time the trade begins, and if the trade is successful, the outcome can yield a greater return than the amount risked on the trade to begin with.

Decoding Market Patterns:10 Essential Price Patterns Every TradeIn the intricate world of trading, price patterns are the footprints left by market sentiment. Understanding these patterns is like deciphering a complex code, revealing insights into potential market movements. Today we will explore 10 essential price patterns every trader should recognize. Each pattern is a chapter in the dynamic story of market behavior, offering opportunities to identify trends, reversals, and strategic entry or exit points. 1. Bull Flag: The Flagbearer of Continuation A Bull Flag is a continuation pattern, often seen in strong uptrends. It resembles a flagpole (the initial price spike) followed by a rectangular flag (consolidation phase). When the price breaks above the upper boundary of the flag, it signals a potential continuation of the uptrend. 2. Bear Flag: The Bearish Counterpart The Bear Flag is the opposite of the Bull Flag. It appears in downtrends, with a flagpole representing the initial price drop followed by a consolidation period. When the price breaches the lower boundary of the flag, it indicates a potential continuation of the downtrend. 3. Head and Shoulders: The Classic Trend Reversal The Head and Shoulders pattern is a powerful reversal indicator. It consists of three peaks – the central peak (head) is higher than the surrounding peaks (shoulders). When the price drops below the neckline (a line drawn through the lowest points of the shoulders), it suggests a potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish. 4. Inverse Head and Shoulders: The Bullish Resurgence The Inverse Head and Shoulders pattern is the bullish counterpart of the Head and Shoulders. It occurs after a downtrend and indicates a potential reversal to an uptrend. The pattern consists of three troughs – the central trough (head) is lower than the surrounding troughs (shoulders). When the price rises above the neckline, it signals a potential shift from bearish to bullish. The cool thing about chat patterns is that they are everywhere. You often see many different chart patterns on a singular chart, or smaller patterns that are a part of a larger pattern. The tricky part is finding them and appropriately identifying them. 5. Double Top: The Bearish Reversal Duo A Double Top pattern occurs after an uptrend and signals a potential reversal. It consists of two peaks at nearly the same price level, indicating a struggle to push the price higher. When the price falls below the trough between the peaks, it suggests a possible shift from bullish to bearish. 6. Double Bottom: The Bullish Reversal Duo The Double Bottom is the bullish counterpart of the Double Top. It occurs after a downtrend and signals a potential reversal to an uptrend. It consists of two troughs at nearly the same price level, indicating a struggle to push the price lower. When the price rises above the peak between the troughs, it suggests a potential shift from bearish to bullish. 7. Rising Wedge: The Rising Price Constrictor A Rising Wedge is a bearish continuation or reversal pattern. It can form during a downtrend or in an uptrend where buying pressure becomes exhausted. The wedge is characterized by converging trend lines that slope upward. While the price may make higher highs and higher lows, the pattern tightens, indicating weakening momentum. When the price breaks below the lower trendline, it suggests a potential continuation of the downtrend or reversal of an uptrend. Rising Wedge Reversal Example: Rising Wedge Continuation Example: 8. Falling Wedge: The Falling Price Constrictor The Falling Wedge is the bullish counterpart of the Rising Wedge. It forms during an uptrend or a downtrend, characterized by converging trend lines that slope downward. While the price may make lower highs and lower lows, the pattern tightens, indicating weakening selling pressure. When the price breaks above the upper trendline, it suggests a potential continuation of the uptrend. Falling Wedge Continuation Example: Falling Wedge Reversal Example: 9. Symmetrical Triangle: The Balance of Bulls and Bears A Symmetrical Triangle is a neutral pattern that forms during a trend, indicating a period of consolidation. It is characterized by converging trend lines that slope in opposite directions. When the price breaks above the upper trendline, it signals a potential bullish move, and when it breaks below the lower trendline, it signals a potential bearish move. 10. Pennant: The Brief Consolidation Pause A Pennant is a continuation pattern that forms after a strong price movement. It resembles a small symmetrical triangle, indicating a brief consolidation before the previous trend resumes. When the price breaks above the upper boundary, it suggests a potential bullish continuation, and when it breaks below the lower boundary, it suggests a potential bearish continuation. Important Thing To Consider: Price patterns are a tool that if practiced and executed properly can be a great asset for any trader. There are a few things that all traders should keep in mind when using price patterns to make trading decisions. Context is critical: Price patterns don't exist in isolation; they occur within the context of larger market trends. It's essential to consider the prevailing market conditions, including the overall trend (bullish, bearish, or sideways), volume trends, and recent price action. Confirmation is Key: While recognizing a price pattern is an important skill, relying solely on its formation might lead to premature or false trades. Traders should always wait for confirmation signals before taking action. Confirmation can come in the form of a price breakout above a pattern's resistance level, a significant increase in trading volume confirming the pattern's direction, or additional technical indicators aligning with the pattern's signal. Waiting for confirmation helps traders filter out false signals, reducing the risk of entering trades based solely on pattern Risk management is paramount: No pattern, regardless of its historical accuracy, guarantees a profitable trade. Traders must always implement proper risk management strategies, including setting stop-loss orders and defining acceptable levels of risk per trade as a percentage of their trading capital. Risk management ensures that even if a trade based on a price pattern fails to materialize as expected, the impact on the trader's overall portfolio remains manageable. Practice, practice, practice: Identifying price patterns is a skill that improves with practice and experience. Traders should dedicate time to studying historical charts, both in live markets and during backtesting. Regularly practicing pattern charting enhances the ability to spot patterns quickly and accurately. TradingView offers a great set of tools to help anyone get started by offering a full line of automated pattern recognition indicators for educational and research use. Utilizing these automated pattern recognition indicators is a great way to visualize patterns in the real world as patterns are often less clean than textbook examples. Recognizing these price patterns equips traders with a valuable skill set for navigating a dynamic market. However, it's vital to remember that patterns, like pieces of a puzzle, offer meaningful insights when combined with other indicators and thorough analysis. No single pattern guarantees profits, and each should be evaluated within the context of the broader market conditions. By integrating pattern recognition into a holistic trading strategy, traders can unlock the door to more informed, confident, and strategic trading decisions. Happy trading! Ben with LeafAlgo

Rising and Falling Wedges ExplainedWelcome to the world of trading patterns. If you appreciate our charts, give us a quick 💜💜 Today, we'll explore two important ones: the Rising Wedge and the Falling Wedge . These patterns can signal shifts in market trends. Let's dive in and see how they work. Rising Wedge: In an uptrend, the Rising Wedge hints at a bearish turn. It takes shape as prices find a middle ground between two upward-sloping lines, one as support and the other as resistance, both inching closer. As the price inches towards the wedge's tip, its upward push tends to fade, suggesting a potential shift to a downward trend. Your sell signal triggers with a bearish break beneath the wedge's support. Set a stop loss just above the wedge's highs. Aim for the next significant support level. Falling Wedge: Unlike the Rising Wedge, the falling wedge spells optimism in a downtrend. It emerges as prices consolidate between two downward-sloping lines, one providing support and the other resistance, both drawing nearer. As prices approach the wedge's apex, the downward momentum loses steam, hinting at a potential shift towards an upward trend. Your buy signal activates with a bullish breakout beyond the wedge's resistance. Place a stop loss just below the wedge's lows. Target the next notable resistance. Feel free to let us know your thoughts and if you have any questions. Your feedback is valuable and helps us improve. Happy trading!

4 Classic Bullish Patterns EVERY TRADER Must Know In the today's post, we will discuss accurate bullish price action patterns that you can apply for trading any financial instrument. 1️⃣Bullish Flag Pattern Such a pattern appears in a bullish trend after a completion of the bullish impulse. The flag represents a falling parallel channel. The market corrects itself within. Bullish breakout of the resistance line of the channel is a strong bullish signal that can be applied for buying the market. Best entries should be placed immediately after a breakout or on a retest. Safest stop loss is below the lows of the flag. Target - the next key resistance. Here is the example of a bullish flag pattern that was formed on Gold on a 1H time frame. As you can see, after the breakout of the resistance of the flag, a strong bullish rally initiated. 2️⃣Ascending Triangle Such a pattern forms in a bullish trend on the top of the bullish impulse. The market starts consolidation, respecting the same highs and setting higher lows simultaneously. The equal highs compose a horizontal resistance that is called the neckline. Its breakout is an important sign of strength of the buyers. Buy the market aggressively after a violation, or set a buy limit order on a retest. Stop loss should lie at least below the last higher low within a triangle. Target - the next strong resistance. Take a look at that ascending triangle formation on EURUSD. Bullish breakout of its neckline was a perfect bullish signal. 3️⃣Falling Wedge That formation is very similar to a bullish flag pattern. The only difference is that the price action within the wedge is contracting so that the trend line of the wedge are getting closer to each other with time. Your signal to buy is a bullish breakout of the resistance of the wedge. Stop loss is strictly below its lows. Target - the next key resistance. GBPUSD formed a falling wedge on a 4H time frame, trading in a strong bullish trend. You can behold how nicely the price bounced after a breakout of its upper boundary. 4️⃣Horizontal Range Similarly to the ascending triangle, the horizontal range forms at the top of a bullish impulse in a bullish trend. The price starts consolidation, then, setting equal highs and equal lows that compose a horizontal channel. Breakout of the resistance of the range is a strong trend-following signal. Buy the market aggressively after a breakout or conservatively on a retest. Stop loss will lie below the lows of the range. Target - the next strong resistance. Dollar Index formed a horizontal range, trading in a strong bullish trend. Breakout of the resistance of the range triggered a bullish rally. The best part about these patterns is that they can be applied on any time frame. Whether you are a scalper, day trader or swing trader, you can rely on these formations and make consistent profits.

Decoding the Rising Wedge Pattern in Forex Trading 📈📉👩‍💼 In the world of forex trading, recognizing and understanding chart patterns can provide traders with invaluable insights into potential price movements. One such pattern, the rising wedge, is a powerful tool for identifying impending trend reversals. In this article, we'll delve into the details of the rising wedge pattern, explore its characteristics, and provide real-world examples to help you navigate the forex market more effectively. 🚀📊🔍 Decoding the Rising Wedge Pattern The rising wedge is a bearish reversal pattern characterized by its narrowing price range between two ascending trendlines. It signals a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend, often preceding significant price declines. Key features of the rising wedge pattern include: 1.Two Sloping Trendlines: The upper trendline connects the higher highs, while the lower trendline links the higher lows. As time progresses, the price range between these trendlines contracts, creating a wedge-like shape. 📉↗️📉 2.Volume Analysis: Typically, volume diminishes as the pattern develops. This reduction in volume signifies decreasing interest and participation in the upward movement. 📉🔊📉 3.Bearish Implications: The narrowing price range indicates weakening buying pressure, as sellers gradually gain momentum. A breakout below the lower trendline confirms the pattern's completion and suggests a potential trend reversal. 🐻📉📈 Examples 1.Currency Pair A - EUR/USD: 2.Currency Pair B - GBP/JPY: 3.Currency Pair C - AUD/NZD: Navigating the Rising Wedge Pattern 1.Confirmation: While the pattern provides a bearish signal, traders often wait for a breakout below the lower trendline to confirm the reversal before entering a trade. 🔄🔍📉 2.Risk Management: Place stop-loss orders above the upper trendline to protect against false breakouts. ⛔️📈🛡 3.Target Levels: Project the potential price decline by measuring the height of the pattern and subtracting it from the breakout point. This can guide your profit-taking strategy. 📏📊💰 Mastering the recognition and interpretation of the rising wedge pattern empowers forex traders to anticipate trend reversals and execute trades with confidence. By studying the pattern's characteristics, volume trends, and breakout confirmation, you can enhance your trading strategy and make informed decisions in the dynamic forex market. 📚🔍📊 With the rising wedge pattern in your arsenal, you'll be able to ascend to profitable insights and navigate the forex market with skillful precision. 📉🔍💼👩‍🏫✨ Please, support my work with like and comment!

Rising wedgeA rising wedge in an up trend is usually considered a reversal pattern. This pattern is at the end of a bullish wave, by creating close price tops, shows us that the supply has intensified and there is a possibility of a trend change. Of course, nothing is certain and if the buyers are more willing and strong, this pattern may be broken in the direction of the market rise. A rising wedge in the middle of a downtrend, is considered a corrective move and is known as a continuing pattern. For example, take a look at the above chart of Ethereum on the weekly time frame

HOW TO TRADE A WEDGE FORMATION IDENTIFYING A WEDGE FORMATION ↪️While wedges are commonly known as continuation patterns, they are also known to signal trend reversals at major tops and bottoms. The reversal patterns are much larger than a typical continuation wedge, and take significantly longer to form, so for the sake of all you short term swing and day traders, we will focus on wedges as continuation patterns here. ↪️Wedges hold similar traits to both flag and symmentrical triangle patterns, in that they are drawn using 2 converging trendlines meeting at an apex. Price action will run counter to the prevailing trend, so a bullish wedge will slope down, and a bearish wedge will slope up. You should see a noticeable drop in volume as price moves toward the apex, followed by a sharp increase once a breakout is confirmed. If price pulls back more than 50% of the prevailling trend move during the consolidation period, then the pattern is broken, and you should assume a change in trend is occurring. HOW TO TRADE A WEDGE FORMATION ↪️Confirmation of a breakout is made when a price bar closes above the upper trendline in a bullish wedge, and below the bottom trendline in a bearish wedge. The way this pattern is set up, it is highly recommended to wait for a breakout before initiating a position. In a bullish continuation wedge, the two converging trendlines are pointing in the same direction, representing a series of lower highs and lower lows, so playing the breakout makes the most sense, at least from a risk management perspective. Since you are entering the market near the bottom of the formation, your risk parameters are tight, while profit targets are exponentially expanded. Of course, more aggressive traders will still attempt to buy the lower trendline as the pattern progresses, and use new lows as stops and re-entry levels. However, the conservative method of waiting for confirmation will most likely yield higher profits in the long run. ↪️The inverse is true when trading bearish wedge formations. Price will make a series of higher highs and higher lows as it moves towards the apex, and a position can be initiated when a breakout is confirmed with a price bar closing below the lower trendline. FALSE BREAKOUTS ↪️A false breakout occurs when price moves above a resistance line or below a support line, and then quickly changes direction. These moves are known for trapping unsuspecting traders playing breakout levels on the wrong side, and then turning around to run their stops. More times than not, a false breakout will signal that the pattern you are charting has failed to produce the expected follow through, and your expectations of the trade need to be re-evaluated. ↪️Identifying a false breakout can be tricky, that is why it is so important to maintain discipline when it comes to risk management. The single easiest way to determine whether or not a breakout is true or false is to watch the volume patterns. As stated above, when price moves toward the apex of the wedge, you should begin to see a noticeable drop in volume, followed by a sharp increase as price breaks out of the formation. KEY POINTS ↪️The wedge formation is a low risk/high reward setup. Price and volume patterns need to align to confirm both the pattern and the breakout. If the formation takes too long to develop or if price moves too far away from the starting point, you may be witnessing a change in trend.

📈How to Trade: Rising Wedge Pattern📌 What is the Rising Wedge Pattern? The rising wedge is a bearish chart pattern found at the end of an upward trend in financial markets. It suggests a potential reversal in the trend. It is the opposite of the bullish falling wedge pattern that occurs at the end of a downtrend. Traders recognize the rising wedge as a consolidation phase after a medium to long-term trend, indicating a decrease in momentum. Traders often use this pattern as a signal to take a short-selling position or exit their current position. 📊 How to Identify and Use the Rising Wedge 🔹 Identify an existing trend in a currency pair. 🔹 Draw support and resistance trend lines along with the highs and lows of the trend. 🔹 Wait for price consolidation and the contraction of the support and resistance lines, forming a rising wedge pattern. 🔹 Observe the upper trend line acting as resistance and the lower trend line acting as support, converging towards each other. 🔹 Place a sell order once the price breaks below the support line of the rising wedge pattern. 🔹 Set a stop-loss order at the same level as the support trend line to manage risk in case the price reverses. 🔹 Consider setting a profit target based on the distance between the highest and lowest points of the wedge pattern or by using a technical indicator or a previous support level as a reference. 💥 Key Takeaways: 🔸 The rising wedge is a technical chart pattern used to identify possible trend reversals. 🔸 The pattern appears as an upward-sloping price chart featuring two converging trendlines. 🔸 It is usually accompanied by decreasing trading volume. 🔸 A rising wedge is often considered a bearish chart pattern that indicates a potential breakout to the downside. 🔸 Wedges can either form in the rising or falling direction. 👤 @QuantVue 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Decoding Wedge PatternsThere is a strong bias about chart patterns and their interpretation in the technical analysis space. It is a very common belief that a rising wedge forms bearish sentiment and a falling wedge forms bullish sentiment. Is that really true and how much we can rely on such bias? In order to understand this, we need to dig a little bit about how such concepts could have come into the picture. The best I could get on the internet is an article from Investopedia that explains few technical reasons and constraints of using these patterns. Through the Lens of Diagonal Waves But, when I was studying the concepts of waves, this is what I found from one of the sources I referred to about diagonal waves: ewtaf.com Details are summarised and explained in the below diagram The summary here is, Diagonal waves of contracting types are the same as that of Contracting Wedge patterns. And the diagonal waves of Expanding types represent expanding wedge chart patterns. Diagonal Waves can appear as sub-waves in multiple parts of the entire Elliott Wave. And here are our scenarios Leading Diagonals Leading diagonals are diagonal waves that can appear towards the start of a trend. This can be Wave 1 of an Impulse Wave - This is the start of a new trend. Avoid trading these wedges as they can be short pullbacks. Or better look for pullback and trading opportunities in the direction of the wedge. Wave A of a Zigzag Wave - This can lead to a possible bull trap or bear trap. The corrective wave is likely to continue after a small pullback Ending Diagonals Both expanding and contracting types can be ending diagonals. Can appear as Wave 5 of an Impulse Wave - Meaning the trend is coming towards possible exhaustion. Wave C of zigzag or flat - Correction or pullback is coming to an end and the trend is likely to continue Wolfe Wave Wolfe wave is a rule built on top of wedge patterns to identify time-bound targets. The idea of generating targets and stops based on the Wolfe Wave is as shown below:  Further, here are a few indicators developed in Pinescript that can help do them automatically. Wolfe Scanner Wolfe Strategy Takeaways Here are a few things we learnt from our study. When you are looking for wedge patterns on the chart, look for wedge formations created by 5 pivots. You can learn more about this from this post Fitting Patterns To Your Bias? Before trading a wedge pattern, try to identify if the pattern fits in a bigger scheme of things. Check if they are towards the end/start of a trend or pullback Concepts such as Wolfe Wave can help setup rules for trading wedge patterns for pullbacks.

Wealth Unleashed: Wedge Pattern Power - Hidden Gem Revealed!Introduction: Are you looking to skyrocket your trading profits? Look no further! Today, we will uncover the hidden gem of trading patterns: the Wedge Pattern. This powerful tool has the potential to transform your trading strategy and help you achieve financial success. Let's dive into the world of wedge patterns and explore how you can capitalize on their power. What are Wedge Patterns? Wedge patterns are popular among traders due to their high probability of forecasting trend reversals. These patterns appear when the price of an asset consolidates between converging support and resistance lines. There are two primary types of wedge patterns: the rising wedge and the falling wedge. Rising Wedge: In an upward trend, the rising wedge is considered a bearish pattern. It forms when the price consolidates between an upward-sloping support line and an upward-sloping resistance line that are converging. As the price approaches the apex of the wedge, the upward momentum weakens, signaling a potential trend reversal to the downside. Falling Wedge: Contrary to the rising wedge, the falling wedge is a bullish pattern. It appears in a downward trend when the price consolidates between a downward-sloping support line and a downward-sloping resistance line that are converging. As the price nears the apex of the wedge, the downward momentum loses strength, indicating a possible trend reversal to the upside. Trading Strategies: To capitalize on the power of wedge patterns, follow these steps: ✅Identify the pattern: Observe the chart for converging support and resistance lines to spot a rising or falling wedge pattern. ✅Confirmation: Wait for a breakout from the wedge pattern, either above the resistance line (for falling wedges) or below the support line (for rising wedges). ✅Entry point: Open a long position after a breakout above the resistance line in a falling wedge, or a short position after a breakout below the support line in a rising wedge. ✅Stop-loss and take-profit: Set your stop-loss order below the breakout level (for falling wedges) or above the breakout level (for rising wedges). Establish your take-profit target at a level that aligns with your risk-reward ratio and trading plan. Conclusion: The wedge pattern is a hidden gem that can potentially boost your trading profits when used correctly. By mastering the art of identifying and trading wedge patterns, you can strengthen your technical analysis skills and increase your chances of success in the market. Remember, no single tool guarantees success, so always use additional technical indicators and maintain a disciplined approach to risk management. Happy trading!

Learn Top 4 Price Action Pattern to Trade Reversals Hey traders, In this article, I will share with you the list of 4 best reversal price action patterns. 📍Ascending & Descending Triangles The main element of the ascending triangle as the REVERSAL pattern is the BEARISH impulse leg, preceding the formation of the pattern. The pattern consist of 2 main elements: a horizontal neckline based on the equal highs, a rising trend line based on the higher lows. ❗️The trigger is a bullish breakout of a neckline of the pattern and candle close above. 📈The position is opened on a retest. 🔴Stop loss is lying at least below the level of the last higher low. 🎯Take profit is the next historical resistance. —————— 📍The main element of the descending triangle formation as the reversal pattern is the BULLISH leg, preceding the formation of the pattern.

Uncovering Wyckoff Accumulation Secret PatternWyckoff Accumulation & Distribution is a trading strategy that was developed by Richard Wyckoff in the early 1900s. It is based on the premise that markets move in cycles and that traders may recognize and use these cycles. In accumulation phase Wyckoff strategy involves identifying a Trading Range where buyers are accumulating shares of a stock before it moves higher. This allows traders to enter into positions at lower prices and benefit from the eventual price increase. Wyckoff Accumulation is an effective way for traders and investors to gain on market movements and make profits from their trades. The Wyckoff Trading Ranges feature a chart pattern called Descending Wedge. This pattern involves two trendlines, one falling and one rising, which converge to form a wedge shape. This pattern indicates that the price of an asset is likely to break out in the direction of the falling trendline. In my understanding, "Continuous Weakness" means a shift away from selling towards buying. Sellers fail to hold the pressure, so buyers take the lead leading in D,E: MARKUP phases.

Classic Reversal Pattern You Must Know ☑️WHAT IS THE RISING WEDGE PATTERN? The rising (ascending) wedge pattern is a bearish chart pattern that signals a highly probable breakout to the downside. It’s the opposite of the falling (descending) wedge pattern (bullish). A rising wedge can be both a continuation and reversal pattern, although the former is more common and more efficient as it follows the direction of an overall trend. The rising wedge consists of two converging trend lines that connect the most recent higher lows and higher highs. In a rising wedge, the lows are catching up with the highs at a higher pace, which means that the lower (supporting) trend line is steeper. ☑️KEY FEATURES • The price action temporarily trades in an uptrend (the higher highs and higher lows) • Two trend lines (support and resistance) that are converging • The decrease in volume as the wedge progresses towards the breakout The third point is seen more as a boost to the validity and effectiveness of the pattern, rather than a mandatory element. And it is applicable either for stocks trading mostly. ☑️SPOTTING THE RISING WEDGE Identifying a rising wedge is not so difficult. As a first step, you should eliminate all types of wedges that are present in the sideways-trading environment. The ascending wedge occurs either in a downtrend as the price action temporarily corrects higher, or in an uptrend. ☑️TRADING THE RISING WEDGE Trading the rising wedge pattern is pretty easy. After we correctly identified the pattern all we need to do is wait patiently for the breakout of the wedge to the downside. After the breakout is confirmed(usually at least a 4H candle needs to close below the broken level) we can place a limit order to short the pair on a pullback giving us a better risk to reward ratio. The correct Stop Loss should be placed above the last higher high established by the wedge before the breakout. What concerns the Take Profit level, it must be based on the technical levels below( If there are any). If not, then we might use Trailing Stop or just choose a minimal acceptable RR of 1:1,5 ❤️Please, support our work with like & comment!❤️ What do you want to learn in the next post?

📊 Chart Pattern CheatsheetChart patterns are visual representations of a stock's price movement over time. These patterns can provide traders with information about the stock's trend, momentum, and potential future direction. Continuation and reversal patterns are two types of chart patterns that traders use to identify potential entry points. When considering entry points for both continuation and reversal patterns, traders often use a combination of technical indicators and price action analysis. They may use tools such as moving averages, oscillators, and trendlines to confirm a pattern's validity and identify potential entry points. Additionally, traders may set stop-loss orders to manage risk and limit potential losses. 🔹 Continuation patterns Continuation patterns are chart patterns that suggest that the current trend will continue. They occur when the stock price consolidates in a certain range, showing a temporary pause in the trend. Some common continuation patterns include triangles, flags, and pennants. Traders may look to enter a long position when the stock price breaks out of the pattern, typically on higher than average trading volume. 🔹 Reversal patterns Reversal patterns, on the other hand, suggest that the current trend is likely to reverse. These patterns occur when the stock price has reached a high or low point and is likely to move in the opposite direction. Some common reversal patterns include head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms, and the "V" pattern. Traders may look to enter a short position when the stock price breaks below a support level or the neckline of a pattern. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

How to understand the falling wedge and rising wedgeHello dear traders, Here are some educational chart patterns you must know in 2022 and 2025. 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. What Is a Wedge? A wedge is a price pattern marked by converging trend lines on a price chart. The two trend lines are drawn to connect the respective highs and lows of a price series over the course of 10 to 50 periods. The lines show that the highs and the lows are rising or falling at differing rates, giving the appearance of a wedge as the lines approach a convergence. Wedge-shaped trend lines are considered useful indicators of a potential reversal in price action by technical analysts. Understanding the Wedge Pattern:- 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). Falling Wedge pattern:- When a security's price has been falling over time, a wedge pattern can occur just as the trend makes its final downward move. The trend lines drawn above the highs and below the lows on the price chart pattern can converge as the price slide loses momentum and buyers step in to slow the rate of decline. Before the lines converge, the price may breakout above the upper trend line. When the price breaks the upper trend line, the security is expected to reverse and trend higher. Traders identifying bullish reversal signals would want to look for trades that benefit from the security’s rise in price. Rising Wedge pattern:- This usually occurs when the security's price has been rising over time, but it can also occur in the midst of a downtrend. Trend lines drawn above and below a price chart pattern can converge to help a trader or analyst anticipate breakout reversals. While the price can break out of either trend line, the wedge pattern has a tendency to break out from the trend line in the opposite direction. Therefore, the ascending wedge pattern indicates a higher probability of further downside in the price after the breakdown of the lower trend line. Traders can enter bearish trades on the basis of a charted security after a breakout, either by selling the security short or by using derivatives such as futures or options. These trades will seek to profit from the possibility of a fall in prices. Trading Profits for the Wedge Pattern:- As a general rule, price pattern strategies for trading systems rarely produce returns that outperform buy-and-hold strategies over time, but some patterns nevertheless appear to be useful in predicting general price trends. Huh. Some studies suggest that a wedge pattern will break out toward reversal (a bullish breakout for falling wedges and a bearish breakout for rising wedges) more than two-thirds of the time, with a falling wedge being followed by a rising wedge. Is a more reliable indicator than the wedge. , Because wedge patterns converge in a smaller price channel, the distance between the price at the entry of the trade and the price for the stop loss is relatively smaller than at the beginning of the pattern. This means that the stop loss can be placed closer to the time the trade is initiated, and if the trade is successful, can result in a return greater than the amount of risk initially placed on the trade. Wedge a Continuation or a Reversal Pattern:- The wedge pattern signals a reversal. The reversal is either bearish or bullish, depending on where the trend line meets, what the trading volume is, and whether the wedge is falling or rising. Trade with care.

📈 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 ❤️
