STOCK CHART PATTERNS

 Stock chart patterns are simply a visual representation of the prices buyers and sellers bought and sold at in the past. There is no magic in a chart pattern they just show you what happened in the past and what has a higher probability of happening in the future. The best use of chart patterns is to take a wider view of the trend on your time frame of choice and follow the path of least resistance. 

A chart pattern can show that a stock is in a range with defined resistance and support. A chart could also show an uptrend of higher highs and higher lows or a downtrend of lower highs and lower lows. Stock chart patterns signal whether a stock is under accumulation or distribution or just trading in a defined price range. 

The most popular use of stock chart patterns is for breakout trading signals as the probability increases of a move in a specific direction after a price breakout of a previous support or resistance. They are basically momentum indicators. The value comes in creating good risk/reward ratios by cutting a loss short when the trade doesn’t work out, but letting a winning trade run when it does. 

Chart patterns can be bullish, bearish, or show a price reversal depending on the direction of the momentum. They can also be used as risk management tools showing where to set stop losses if a breakout fails or set profit targets for a continuation. 

A chart pattern is a visual tool for seeing which direction a market is moving in. People that dismiss chart patterns and believe they don’t work show their own ignorance on the core of profitable trading which is to create good asymmetric bets, not to win everytime. Profitability comes from profits being more than losses over the long term not predictive ability or perfection.

CURTAIN RAISER for 9th JUNE NIFTY S&P 500 wiped out all the losses of 2020. Nasdaq is at all time high.US market closed higher Asian markets are mixed. SGX Nifty is up by about 50 points. Yesterday morning I said, markets are opening gap up but Nifty future likely to break 10200, at least once. But it broke 10200 and traded below that level and closed "Doji" pattern. That shows indecisiveness. We are struggling between positive Global and negative Local cues. We are struggling between FIIs who are buying and DIIs who are booking profits. OI at level of 10500 and 9500 is still very high Hence markets are highly volatile. Yesterday Nifty future fell more than 200 points from intraday high to intraday low. Bank Nifty was going all over the places. Bank Nifty future fell 900 points from intraday high to intraday low and recovered about 300 points. We are under performing world markets and that may
