Chart patterns

  • Double topMIDDLE LOWILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Double top

    What to look for

    Two peaks near the same resistance, separated by a pullback.

    What to watch next

    Watch the intervening low. Two peaks alone do not confirm a reversal; support can hold.

  • Double bottomMIDDLE HIGHILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Double bottom

    What to look for

    Two lows near the same support, separated by a rebound.

    What to watch next

    Watch the intervening high. A break above it matters; a fresh low undermines the idea.

  • Ascending triangleRESISTANCEILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Ascending triangle

    What to look for

    Repeated highs meet rising lows as the price range tightens.

    What to watch next

    Watch the boundary break and follow-through. A move back inside can be a false breakout.

  • Bull flagILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Bull flag

    What to look for

    A strong rise is followed by a smaller, downward-sloping pause.

    What to watch next

    Watch for a break out of the pause. A shape alone does not establish continuation.

Candlestick patterns

  • DojiILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Doji

    What to look for

    Open and close are almost equal, leaving a very small real body.

    What to watch next

    It shows balance or indecision. Read surrounding candles and location before assigning direction.

  • HammerILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Hammer

    What to look for

    After a decline: a small body near the high with a long lower wick.

    What to watch next

    Look for subsequent strength. A lower wick by itself does not confirm a reversal.

  • Shooting starILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Shooting star

    What to look for

    After a rise: a small body near the low with a long upper wick.

    What to watch next

    Look for subsequent weakness. The prior trend and nearby resistance provide context.

  • Engulfing bodiesBULLISHBEARISHILLUSTRATION · NOT LIVE DATA

    Engulfing bodies

    What to look for

    The second candle body surrounds the first. Bullish and bearish versions mirror each other.

    What to watch next

    Compare real bodies, then check the prior trend and follow-through. Wicks need not be engulfed.
