Chart Pattern: Double Top and Double Bottom

In previous posts I have written about chart pattern; in this post is the double top and double bottom illustrated. The patterns are common patterns.

In general about pattern
Looking at the charts give the traders’ information in which direction the chart is moving in.

If the price increases to a level and falls to a lower level and start again to rise to a higher level; the trader expects the price to fall when the price reaches a certain level.

Reverse are the traders expecting the price to rise if the price level is falling to a certain level and rising to a higher level and falling to a certain level.

The traders have also information about how much they expect the price to fall and rise if the patterns are a described.

Double top
The double top pattern is when the price move’s from a lower point to a higher point and reverses to a lower point and starts to rise and fall as the image illustrates; the pattern is first ended when the price reaches point E.

The traders expect as a minimum the price will fall the difference between D and E as the image illustrates.    

Double bottom
The double bottom pattern is when the price move’s from a higher point to a lower point and reverses to a higher point and starts to fall and rise as the image illustrates; the pattern is first ended when the price reaches point E.

The traders expect as a minimum the price will increase the difference between D and E as the image illustrates.

Chart Pattern: The Triangle Pattern

In earlier posts is the diamond chart pattern and the head and shoulder pattern illustrated; in this post is the illustration the triangle pattern.

The triangle pattern
The triangle pattern consists of a support and resistance line; between the two lines are the price line; the line is moving upwards and downwards in a pattern.

If the price development is a triangle pattern the price development will end in a triangle as the images show.

The triangle pattern has different looks depending on the price development.

The ascending triangle
The triangle is called ascending as the price development is rising; the resistance line is flat and the support line is upwards; if the price line is as illustrated the most likely breakout is an uptrend.

The descending triangle
The triangle is called descending as the price development is falling; the resistance line is downwards and the support line is flat; if the price line is as illustrated the most likely breakout is a downtrend.


The symmetrical triangle
The triangle is called symmetrical as the price development is getting symmetrical smaller; the resistance line is downwards and the support line is upwards; if the price line is as illustrated the most likely breakout is almost equal between an uptrend or a downtrend.  

Video illustrating the Triangle pattern
I was on YouTube and found a fellow explaining the Triangle pattern; he also gives some percents of how likely the breakout patterns are.

Chart Pattern: Diamond Bottom and Top Chart Pattern

Earlier I have written about the head and shoulder chart pattern in the post “Trading the Crown or trading head and shoulders

In this post is the Diamond chart pattern illustrated; the pattern consists of a diamond as the image illustrates and is divided into a bottom and a top chart pattern.

The diamond pattern could give the traders a hint in which direction the price is moving in as it seems like there is a pattern in which direction a breakout moves in after a diamond price movement; just remember that it is the most likely direction it is not sure the price moves in this direction.

Diamond Bottom and Top Chart Pattern

I was on YouTube and found a fellow explaining the diamond pattern; he also gives some percents of how likely the breakout patterns are.

A copy trade is a trade made by a trader; the position is then copied by others.
