Chart Lesson 2: Broadening Formation Right-Angled and Ascending

Broadening Formation, Right-Angled and Ascending
Identification:

*Short-term Bearish*

Shape:  Looks like a megaphone with the base horizontal

Trend Lines:  A horizontal (or nearly) bottom line (support) connects the bottom lows.  An up-sloping trend line (resistance) connects higher highs.

Once recognizing the formation:

When the price is going up:

Buy the Breakout Up:  Set buy order above Upper Trend (resistance) line.

If the Breakout Fails:

Go short at the High:  Sell short after the price starts heading down from the top of the trend line.

When the price is going down:

Sell the Breakout Down:  Set a sell order below the horizontal Bottom Trend (support) line.

If the Breakout Fails:

Go Long at the Low:  Buy after the price starts heading back up.

Partial Decline or Rise:  A partial decline from the top, or a partial rise from the bottom is a reliable breakout signal.  On a partial decline from the top, go long; on a partial rise, go short.
