bearish · The head-and-shoulders pattern is a bearish reversal formation that appears after an extended uptrend.

bullish · The inverse head-and-shoulders is the bullish mirror of the head-and-shoulders top: three troughs (shoulder, head, shoulder) with the central trough deepest.

bearish · The double-top is a bearish reversal pattern: two consecutive peaks at approximately the same level, separated by a moderate trough.

bullish · The double-bottom is the bullish counterpart to the double-top: two consecutive troughs at approximately the same low, separated by a moderate rally.

bearish · A rising wedge is a bearish reversal pattern formed by converging upward-sloping trendlines, with the lower line steeper than the upper.

bullish · A falling wedge is a bullish reversal pattern formed by converging downward-sloping trendlines, with the upper line steeper than the lower.

bullish · A rounding bottom (or saucer) is a long-duration bullish reversal pattern showing a slow, smooth U-shaped transition from downtrend to uptrend.

bearish · A rounding top is the bearish counterpart to a rounding bottom: a long-duration, smoothly arched price profile signalling exhaustion and slow reversal of an uptrend.

bearish · A triple-top forms when price tests the same resistance three times in succession without breaking through.

bullish · A triple-bottom is the bullish symmetric of triple-top: three troughs at approximately the same level with volume declining on each test, confirmed by a close above the connecting high..

bullish · The cup-and-handle is a bullish continuation pattern made famous by William O'Neil.

bullish · An ascending triangle is a bullish continuation pattern formed by a flat horizontal resistance level and a rising trendline of higher lows.

bearish · A descending triangle is a bearish continuation pattern with horizontal support and a descending trendline of lower highs.

neutral · A flag is a short-term continuation pattern formed by a sharp directional move (the "flagpole") followed by a brief, contrary-direction parallel-channel consolidation.

neutral · A pennant resembles a flag but with converging trendlines instead of parallel ones — essentially a small symmetric triangle attached to a flagpole.

neutral · The symmetric triangle is a bilateral continuation/consolidation pattern formed by a sequence of lower highs and higher lows that converge to an apex.

neutral · A rectangle is a horizontal trading range bounded by approximately parallel support and resistance.

neutral · A doji is a single-candle pattern where open and close are at (or very near) the same level, producing a thin horizontal body with shadows.

bullish · A hammer is a single-candle bullish reversal signal: a small body near the top of a long lower shadow, ideally at the bottom of a downtrend.

bearish · A shooting star is the bearish mirror of the hammer: a small body near the low of a long upper shadow, forming at the top of an uptrend.

bullish · A bullish engulfing pattern is a two-candle bullish reversal: a small bearish (down) candle followed by a larger bullish (up) candle whose body completely engulfs the prior body.

bearish · A bearish engulfing pattern is a two-candle bearish reversal: a small bullish candle followed by a larger bearish candle whose body completely engulfs the prior body.

bullish · The morning star is a three-candle bullish reversal pattern: a long bearish candle, a small-bodied indecision candle (often a doji) gapping below it, and a long bullish candle that closes well into the first candle's body.

bearish · The evening star is the bearish mirror of the morning star: a long bullish candle in an uptrend, a small-bodied indecision candle, and a long bearish candle closing well into the first body.

bullish · Three white soldiers are three consecutive long bullish candles, each opening within the prior body and closing near its high.
