Chart patterns are recognisable shapes that hint at what price may do بعدی. They aren't guarantees, but they organise your read of structure and offer defined entries and stops.
Continuation patterns
مفاتيح and pennants are brief pauses inside a trend before it resumes. Triangles (ascending, descending, symmetrical) show coiling energy that tends to break in the prevailing direction.
Reversal patterns
Head and shoulders (and its inverse) signal a possible trend reversal: three peaks with the middle highest, breaking a 'neckline'. Double tops and bottoms are simpler two-touch reversals.
صفقة the break, not the hope
Patterns only matter once price confirms by breaking the key سطح. Anticipating a pattern that never completes is a common trap. صبر کنید for the break, define your stop, and size to your مخاطرة plan.
Key takeaways
- مفاتيح, pennants and triangles usually continue the trend.
- Head & shoulders and double tops/bottoms signal reversals.
- صفقة the confirmed break, not the anticipated pattern.
