Chart pattern

Chart patterns are shapes or formations that appear on a price chart in trading (like crypto, forex, or stocks). Traders use them to predict what the market might do next—whether price will go up, down, or continue the trend.

Think of chart patterns as “market behavior signals” formed by buyers and sellers.

🔹 1. Reversal Patterns (trend is about to change)

These patterns suggest the current trend is ending.

Common ones:

Head and Shoulders

Signals trend change from uptrend → downtrend


Inverse Head and Shoulders

Signals downtrend → uptrend


Double Top

Price hits resistance twice → likely fall


Double Bottom

Price hits support twice → likely rise



👉 Example: If you see a Double Top, sellers are getting stronger.

These patterns show the trend will pause, then continue.

Common ones:

Ascending Triangle (bullish)

Descending Triangle (bearish)

Symmetrical Triangle (breakout either way)

👉 Example: In an uptrend, a flag pattern usually means price will continue going up.
