Chart pattern: Channel
A channel is a pattern used in the technical analysis of financial markets that defines the movement of the price of an asset between the upper and lower lines of the pattern (parallel lines). Channels can be bullish, bearish, or sideways.
They are reversal patterns, meaning they indicate a signal for a change in trend.
When it comes to trading them, there are different ways to do so. We can trade within the channel, aiming for the opposite end of the line we are situated on. Alternatively, we can trade the trend change. The trend change can be traded once the channel is broken, either within it or by waiting for the price to break the pattern. This latter option is riskier, but it can lead to greater profits as the trading begins at a point with a higher projected movement. (🇮🇳)
