TRENDLINES
Trendlines - Inclining Trendline A straight line usually drawn to define an uptrend against or through price bar lows. | |
Trendlines - Declining Trendline A straight line usually drawn to define a downtrend against or through price bar highs. | |
Support A horizontal line (floor) which has acted as a barrier to lower prices. Usually defined by two or more price bar lows. | |
Resistance A horizontal line (ceiling) which has acted as a barrier to higher prices. Usually defined by two or more price bar highs. | |
Channel-Inclining An up-trending price bar pattern in which inclining parallel lines can be drawn through or against price bar highs and lows respectively. | |
Channel-Declining A down-trending price bar pattern in which declining parallel lines can be drawn through or against price bar highs and lows respectively. | |
Channel-Horizontal or Sideways A horizontal or "sideways" price bar pattern in which horizontal parallel lines can be drawn through or against price bar highs and lows respectively. Chartists frequently "buy" or (go-long) on a break up and out of the Channel or "sell" (go-short) on a break down and out of the Channel. |
TRIANGLES
Symmetrical | Triangles-Symmetrical A price bar pattern in which the slope of price bar highs and lows are converging to a point so as to outline the pattern in a symmetrical triangle. Chartists frequently "buy" or (go-long) on a break up and out of the Symmetrical Triangle or "sell" (go-short) on a break down and out of the Symmetrical Triangle. |
Ascending | Ascending Triangle A price bar pattern in which the slope of price bar highs and lows are converging to a point so as to outline the pattern in Right Triangle. The hypotenuse in an Ascending Triangle should be sloping from lower to higher and from left to right. Chartists frequently buy or (go-long) on a break up and out of the Ascending Triangle or sell (go-short) on a break down and out of the Ascending Triangle. However, Ascending Triangles are generally thought to demonstrate a stronger bias towards predicting a break up and out of the Triangle, particularly when the trend leading up to the formation has been up. |
Descending | Descending Triangle A price bar pattern in which the slope of price bar highs and lows are converging to a point so as to outline the pattern in Right Triangle. The hypotenuse in an Descending Triangle should be sloping from higher to lower and left to right. Chartists frequently buy or (go-long) on a break up and out of the Descending Triangle or sell (go-short) on a break down and out of the Ascending Triangle. However, Descending Triangle are generally thought to demonstrate a stronger bias towards predicting a break down and out of the Triangle, particularly when the trend leading to the formation has been down. |
