Continuationpatterns

'CONTINUE' trading with 'CONTINUATION' pattern_2nd Edition_!!!In previous idea of continuation pattern, which comprise explanation of some continuation patterns like triangles, flags and pennants it was stated that in next post I'll be back with patterns such as head & shoulder , double top and bottoms and we're back. As we have discussed in the previous section, that market can be either in trending phase or in a range-bound phase. No trend generally lasts forever in the market. After prolonged or medium or shorter duration up and downtrend, the market often reverses and a move starts in the opposite direction of the prior move. Often we find that well defined geometrical patterns are formed in the chart which provides good indication of price reversals. These patterns are called reversal classical chart patterns. When they are formed as a bullish reversal pattern they are said to be part of accumulation. On the other hand if they are formed at the top of a price move just before bearish reversal, then they are part of distribution. However, a geometrically shaped consolidation does not necessarily mean price reversal. Often price resumes the erstwhile trend post the consolidation move. These are called continuation classical chart pattern. We will discuss about few of the classical chart patterns in the following section. -> Head & Shoulder -: Head and Shoulder pattern is a bearish reversal pattern. This pattern appears after an uptrend. This pattern is formed with three consecutive tops with middle one being higher than the other two. The middle top is called the head and the two side peaks are called the shoulders. On joining the intermediate troughs, we get the neck-line. On ultimate break below the neckline, usually a short trade is taken with a stop-loss above the top of the nearest shoulder. The target is usually considered as the distance between the neckline and head, projected from the point of break. If the volume in the down leg of the right shoulder is on the higher side and break happens with high volume, the conviction is on the higher side for the reversal. An Inverse Head and Shoulder is just mirror image of the Head and Shoulder pattern. This should appear after a sustained down trend, the rule of stop loss and target are similar. This often acts as a very effective bullish reversal pattern. -> Double Tops and Bottoms -: These chart patterns are well-known patterns that signal a trend reversal – these are considered to be one of the most reliable patterns and are commonly used. These patterns are formed after a sustained trend and signal to chartists that the trend is about to reverse. These patterns are created when price movement tests support or resistance levels twice and is unable to break through. These patterns are often used to signal intermediate and long-term trend reversals. Double top: Double bottom: -> Mechanism of Continuation Pattern -: Continuation patterns provide some logic to the price action. By knowing the patterns, a trader can create a trading plan to take advantage of common patterns. The patterns present trading opportunities that may not be seen using other methods. Unfortunately, simply because the pattern is called a "continuation pattern" does not mean it is always reliable. A pattern may appear during a trend, but a trend reversal may still occur. It is also quite possible that, once we have drawn the pattern on our charts, the bounds may be slightly penetrated, but a full breakout does not occur. This is called a false breakout and could occur multiple times before the pattern is actually broken and a continuation or a reversal occurs. Rectangles, due to their popularity and easy visibility, are highly susceptible to false breakouts. Patterns can also be subjective, as what one trader sees is not what another trader sees, or how another trader would draw or define the pattern in real time. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as it can provide traders with a unique perspective on the market. It will require time and practice for the trader to develop his or her skill in finding patterns, drawing them and formulating a plan on how to use them. My Observation -: These geometrical patterns are formed after a trend in that particular stock, it generally resumes the previous trend after being out of the pattern but some times it reverses the previous trend hence, it is advised to wait for the conformation to play the pattern. And we can use RSI for conformation i.e. if you are seeing pattern breakout then just check if RSI is greater than 60 and if not than the chances of fakeout is more also in case of breakdown just check if RSI is below 40 else it can reverse. #Enjoy_trading

Descending Triangle - Full ExpanationWhat is descending triangle ?? The descending triangle is one of the top continuation patterns that appears mid-trend. Traders anticipate the market to continue in the direction of the larger trend and develop trading setups accordingly. The descending triangle is a bearish pattern that is characterized by a descending upper trendline and a flat lower trendline that acts as support. This pattern indicates that sellers are more aggressive than buyers as price continues to make lower highs. The pattern completes itself when price breaks out of the triangle in the direction of the overall trend. Element Of Descending Triangle The descending triangle is fairly easy to spot once traders know what to look for. The below method can be applied to all financial markets. 1.)Downtrend: The market must be in a downtrend before the descending triangle pattern appears. This is important and emphasises that traders should not simply trade the pattern whenever the descending triangle appears. 2.)Consolidation: The descending triangle then appears while the market enters the consolidation phase. 3.Flat Lows Or Flat Line Lower trendline: The lower trendline acts as support. Price often approaches this level and bounces off until the breakout eventually occurs. 4.)Decsending or Lower Highs: While the market is consolidating, a downward sloping trendline can be drawn by connecting the highs. This downward sloping trendline shows that sellers are slowly pulling the price down – which provides further support for a bearish trading bias. 5.)Breakdown & Trend Continuation: After price posts a strong break below the lower trendline, traders will look for confirmation of the pattern via continued downward momentum. Calculating Target The descending triangle, often referred to as the ‘falling triangle’, has an inherent measuring technique that can be applied to the pattern to gauge likely take profit targets. For the descending triangle, traders can measure the distance from the start of the pattern, at the highest point of the descending triangle to the flat support line. That same distance can be transposed later on, starting from the breakout point and ending at the potential take profit level. The illustration below shows the distance from A to B can be transferred lower down, from C to D, in order to project a possible take profit level. How to trade Descending triangle When trading the descending triangle, traders need to identify the downtrend and this can be seen in the BANKNIFTY 15 Min chart below. Thereafter, the descending triangle appears as the candlesticks start to consolidate. The measuring technique can be applied once the triangle forms, as traders anticipate the breakout. After viewing a strong break below support, traders can enter a short position, setting a stop at the recent swing high and take profit target in line with the measuring technique.

Dwarikesh Sugar | Targets +22% to 44% ?Dwarikesh Sugar: Will it continue its momentum and give another +22% gain? Post its breakout, the stock has consolidated well below Rs 100 range. This consolidation has been supported by excellent volumes too. The past two week price action is indicative of likely strong up moves in the coming weeks ahead. My expectation is that 119.80 should be most likely crossed in the coming 3-4 weeks. There's a fair possibility that even 141.75 may well be achieved within the next 5-6weeks. Stocks in Stage 2 have a tendency to continue their momentum moves. Let's see how this stock behaves ahead in the coming weeks. Here's the Trade Plan CMP = 98.05 Entry : At 96.60 to 98.80 range Add on Dips: At 92 (Low Risk Entry) Initial Stop Loss (ISL): @ 90.80 Wide SL 84.80 Potential Targets: 119.80 (+22%) 141.75 (+44%) Note: Breakout closing above Rs 100 needs to be supported with high volumes. Trade Setup gets invalidated once stock starts to trade below 84.80 What have you learned from these studies and updates? Can you see the continuation of the Momentum pattern? How will you apply and gain from it? Thank you for checking out my content. If you like it and gain from it; FOLLOW for more !!! LIKE & SHARE if you found the idea useful !!!!

CIPLA: Head and Shoulders breakdown. CIPLA had formed what seems like a head and shoulders pattern, from which it broke down from on 27-07-21. After breaking down from the pattern and range it fell from around 945 level to the 875 level. Since then it has pulled back quite neatly to the bottom of the range and has then created a huge continuation bar to the downside with above average bearish volumes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One could take a short positional trade keeping in mind the following levels, do only initiate the trade if the price stays below the "SHORT BELOW" level for at least 15 minutes. SHORT BELOW: 909 STOP LOSS: 939 TARGET 1: 879 TARGET 2: 849 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Plan your trade and manage risk properly.

BULLISH FLAG PATTERN EXPLAINED.Bullish flags are a continuation pattern found in stocks with a strong uptrend. As can be observed, the pattern resembles a flag on a pole. The vertical rise forms the pole and the following period of consolidation forms the flag. The flag can be a horizontal rectangle but mostly angles down from the pole. The focus should be more on the underlying psychology of the pattern than the shape. Despite the strong vertical rally, the stock refuses to drop much because the bulls are buying as many shares they can get their hands on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Main characteristics of a flag pattern: 1. The trend before the appearance of the pattern. 2. The channel of consolidation. 3. The volume behavior. 4. The breakout. 5. The confirmation of price movement in the direction of the breakout. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Target and Volume: The target for a bull flag is calculated by measuring the length of the flag pole and projecting it from the breakout point. The volume starts to pick up towards the end of the consolidation range indicating the oncoming breakout. Then there is a huge increase in volume when the pole is being formed and the volume tapers off during the consolidation period. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stop Loss Options: 1. Longer term traders may place their stop loss below the entire flag. 2. A stricter option would be just below the consolidation are before the breakout. 3. The tightest option would be a two bar low trailing stop. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thoughts: No one can know for sure which way the price will move, whether it will continue or reverse. One can follow the action of price, trade only the best setups and let the probabilities work out. While patterns may give false signals, bullish flags are generally reliable and effective. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alert: Keep an eye out for price action unravelling currently. Price is pulling back to the 20 EMA, forming a consolidation, a flag of sorts. A continuation candle near the average with decent volumes could be the sign of a fresh move upwards. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Will be very grateful for a like and follow. :)

Trend Continuation PatternBullish Flag Chart Pattern: Tata Chemicals Description: The flag represents a brief pause in a dynamic market move & one of the requirements for a flag pattern is that it should proceed by a sharp and almost straight-line move. It represents situations where a step advance or decline has gotten ahead of itself, and where the market pauses briefly to "catch its breath " before running off again in the same direction. Construction of Flag & Pole pattern: The flag resembles a parallelogram or rectangle market by two parallel trendlines that tend to slope against the prevailing trend. The flag usually occurs after a sharp move & represents a brief pause in the trend. The flag should slope against the trend. Volume should dry up during the formation & built again on the breakout . How to trade flag and pole patterns: The sideways period is often followed by another sharp rise. This is where the trading opportunity comes in. Once the flag pole and a flag or have formed, traders watch for the price to breakout above the upper flag/trend line. When this occurs, enter a long trade. Conclusion: 1-Flag patterns are a commonly used technical analysis tool and majorly a choice of breakout traders and swing traders. 2- Flag is formed when there is a minor profit booking in either an uptrend or a downtrend. 3- The pole is formed by a line that represents the primary trend in the market. 4- It is important that flags are preceded by a sharp advance or decline.
