Wedges
Ascending and Descending Broadening Wedges can extend for long periods of time since price
extends outwards with rising volatility. These patterns can appear in either uptrends or
downtrends. Can be both continuation and reversal patterns. The absolute safest entry in
using these three patterns is on the retest of the breakout in either direction and other
confirmations to support the direction of price!
Preferably like to use these as continuation patterns but can be also used for reversals! Both sides of the
wedge should have three touches prior to breaking out. The safest and only entry should be on the retest
of the breakout with a candlestick confirmation giving a you a favorable risk to reward ratio.

Tops/Bottoms
Two of the most common trend reversal patterns. 2x Bottoms are a
bullish reversal pattern and 2x Tops are a bearish reversal pattern.
If you are using Time to draw your Fibonacci you will notice that
most of the time the neckline will bounce off the 50 FIB, this will add
to the validity of the two patterns. The safest and best entry is on the
retest of the broken neckline on either pattern!
You can look for these patterns as M’s or W’s!
3x Tops & 3x Bottoms are also possible and work the same way.
Head & Shoulders/Inverse Head Shoulders
A Head Shoulders is a bearish reversal pattern formed A Inverse Head & Shoulders is a bullish reversal
when the price makes a high, pulls back, makes a pattern formed the opposite way of the regular
higher high, pulls back, and then makes a lower high. Head & Shoulders pattern. Right shoulder
This creates three peaks. For extra validity, if you are bouncing off the 50 FIB also adds extra validity
using time to draw your fibonacci, the right shoulder as well on the Inverse HS.
will bounce off the 50 FIB!

Channels/Rectangles
Channel Ranges are basically either a uptrend or downtrend and
can be used in both ways drawn by a supporting and resisting trend
line. Preferably like to use these as continuation patterns instead of
reversals but can be both. Price is basically coming to a halt and
ranging between two price points before deciding which direction it
will go for both channels and rectangles. You can place long
positions during the range off a supporting trend line and short
positions off a resistance trend line with candlestick confirmation. As
always when price breaks the channel or rectangle wait for a retest
of the broken trend line and candlestick confirmation before entering
short or long for the safest entry!
