Bullish Flag

Double Bottom
A double bottom is a major bullish reversal pattern that occurs after an extended downtrend. It resembles the letter "W," showing two distinct lows at a similar price level separated by a peak, signalling that selling pressure has been exhausted.

Double Top
A double top is a major bearish reversal pattern that appears at the peak of an uptrend. It resembles the letter "M," showing price has failed to break a specific resistance level twice — a clear signal that buyers are losing control and a trend reversal is imminent.

Cup and Handle
The cup and handle is a powerful bullish continuation pattern made famous by William O'Neil. The "cup" is a rounded U-shaped base representing a period of consolidation, followed by a small downward drift (the "handle") before a decisive breakout to new highs.

Head and Shoulders
One of the most reliable and well-studied reversal patterns in technical analysis. The head and shoulders consists of three peaks: a higher middle peak (the head) flanked by two lower, roughly equal peaks (the shoulders). It signals the end of an uptrend and the beginning of a downtrend.

Ascending Triangle
An ascending triangle is a bullish continuation pattern defined by a flat horizontal resistance line at the top and a rising support line connecting progressively higher lows. The price is coiling into the apex, building energy for a breakout above the resistance line.

bearish
Descending Triangle
A descending triangle is a bearish continuation pattern defined by a flat horizontal support line and a declining resistance line connecting progressively lower highs. Sellers are in control, and the pattern typically resolves with a breakdown below support.

Rising Wedge
A rising wedge is a bearish reversal pattern that forms when price makes higher highs and higher lows within a narrowing channel that slopes upward. Despite the upward price action, the narrowing range signals weakening momentum and typically resolves with a sharp breakdown.

bullish
Falling Wedge
A falling wedge is a bullish reversal or continuation pattern that forms when price makes lower lows and lower highs within a narrowing channel that slopes downward. The contracting range signals that selling pressure is diminishing, and the pattern typically resolves with an upward breakout.

Rounding Bottom
Also known as a "saucer bottom," the rounding bottom is a long-term bullish reversal pattern that shows a gradual, sustained shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. The price forms a smooth, U-shaped curve over an extended period, representing a slow but decisive change in market sentiment.

Symmetrical Triangle
A symmetrical triangle is a neutral consolidation pattern where price makes both lower highs and higher lows, with both trendlines converging toward a point. It represents a temporary pause and balance between buyers and sellers before a decisive breakout in either direction.

Rectangle
A rectangle pattern forms when price consolidates between a clear horizontal support level and a horizontal resistance level, creating a well-defined range-bound trading zone. It can break in either direction but tends to continue in the direction of the prior trend.

neutral
Broadening Formation
Also known as a "megaphone" pattern, the broadening formation is characterized by higher highs and lower lows with two diverging trendlines. This expanding range signals increasing market volatility, indecision, and uncertainty — conditions that often precede a significant reversal.

neutral
Diamond
The diamond pattern combines a broadening formation (expanding phase) followed by a symmetrical triangle (contracting phase). Price first expands into higher highs and lower lows, then contracts back toward an apex. It is typically a reversal pattern and most commonly appears at market tops.
