Characteristics of a Rounding Bottom: Shape: The pattern looks like a “U” or a bowl, indicating a slow and steady shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. Volume: Volume typically decreases as the price declines and forms the bottom, then increases as the price starts to rise. Duration: This pattern can take several weeks to several months to form, making it more common in longer time frames. How to Trade a Rounding Bottom: Entry Point: Consider entering a long position when the price breaks above the resistance level formed at the top of the pattern. Stop Loss: Place a stop loss below the lowest point of the rounding bottom to manage risk. Target Price: The target price can be estimated by measuring the depth of the pattern and projecting it upwards from the breakout point. Example: Imagine a stock that has been in a downtrend, but over several months, it starts to form a rounding bottom. As the price begins to rise and breaks above the resistance level, it signals a potential uptrend, providing a buying opportunity.
