Chart Pattern Field Guide

A candle is one session's fight. Zoom out and the bigger fight shows up as a shape — the lines and levels you draw on the chart. Day 8 gave you support and resistance; this guide names the rest: trend lines, channels, wedges, triangles, and the reversals that mark the turn. Tap any card for the story and how to spot it.

Reversal patterns

The trend running out of road. These shapes mark the turn.

A pattern is a clue, not a command — a shape earns a trade only when it shows up at a level, with the trend and the volume agreeing. Pair these with the candlestick field guide for the trigger candle, then run the whole thing through the entry checklist before you act on it.
