Chart Lesson 3: Broadening Bottoms, Right-Angled and Descending

Broadening Bottoms, Right-Angled and Descending

Identification:

Shape:  Looks like a megaphone tilted down.  A horizontal line on top and the bottom, a down-sloping trend line.

Top Horizontal Line:  Two minor highs nearly the same price level.  Premature breakouts are rare, so buy above resistance.

Once recognizing the formation:

When the price is going up:

Buy the Breakout Up:  Buy after price closes above the resistance line.

If the Breakout Fails:

Go Short at the High:  Sell short after price has begun to head back down from the top trend line.

When the price is going down:

Sell the Breakout Down:  Set a sell order below the lower support trend line.

If the Breakout Fails:

Go Long at the Low:  Buy after the stock makes it’s turn up at the lower trend line.


Partial Rise or Decline:  When prices curl around on a partial rise or decline and return to the trend line, they usually break out immediately.
