Broadening-formation

📢 The Broadening FormationA technical chart pattern recognized by analysts, known as a broadening formation or Megaphone Pattern, is characterized by expanding price fluctuation. It is represented by two lines, one ascending and one descending, that diverge from each other. This pattern typically appears after a significant increase or decrease in security prices and is denoted by a sequence of higher and lower turning points. Normally this pattern is visible when the market is at its top or bottom. The greater the time frame is better the pattern will work. 🔹How to identify Generally, the Broadening Formation consists of 5 different swings. But the swing has to have a minimum of two higher highs and two lower lows. A trend line is drawn by connecting point 1 and point 3 while points 2 and 4 are also joined together to draw a line. These two lines create a shape that looks like a megaphone or inverted symmetric triangle. These swings’ highs and lows have to close above or below its pivot line and therefore they will create swing high as pivot high (R1, R2, and R3) and swing lows as pivot lows (S1, S2, and S3). A breakout occurs when the line does not respect its support or resistance line and closes outside the shape after making the 5th swing. 🔹Volume Volume plays an important role when it comes to the recognition of this pattern. In the Broadening Top, volume usually peaks along with prices. An increase in the volume, on the day of the pattern confirmation, is a strong indicator. 🔹Failures This pattern also can be traded when it fails but is necessary to identify the failure perfectly. A failure can be spotted when it fails to break the trend line (upper or lower as the case may be) after completing the 5th swing. Suppose in a bull market condition, this pattern is formed and if it fails to break the upper trend line, traders go short when the price goes below 3rd swing high (R2). Similar is the scenario, when the market is in a bear phase and it fails to break the lower trend line (S2), traders take a long position when the price closes above the 3rd swing high. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

AAPL - Sign and ConfirmationThe long upper wick of the candle is a sign of price rejection. The first bearish pin bar on November 22, followed by another higher high long upper wick candle on December 1, is a sign that the trend is about to bend. Confirming the two sign is followed by another higher high with Bearish Engulfing Candle, this candle pattern could be the confirmation that the upward trend is done. And also, if you draw a line, you can see that there is a Bearish Broadening Wedge forming.

SNAP Broadening Formation BreakoutHere we see a right angle broadening formation, with the accumulation line on the bottom. What appears to be an island reversal pattern appeared in the daily chart, marked by the yellow rectangle, which is typical of congestion patterns like this. Broadening formations are typical of late stage bull markets and are accompanied by irregular volume throughout. A majority of broadening formations carry bearish implications, and a breakout occured today in SNAP, although not by the generally "safe" 3% margin. I would expect a throwback, but the pattern implies a -65% move to the downside to 17.5, although not necessarily soon.

CBRL Broadening Top and Upcoming Dividend! (Price target: ~$176)The Broadening Top pattern forms when the price progressively makes higher highs (1, 3) and lower lows (2, 4) following two widening trend lines. The price is expected to move up or down past the pattern depending on which line is broken first. A bit of a toss up since the broadening top formation appears much more frequently at tops than at bottoms, and therefore usually has bearish implications. In this case, however, we see a strong up-trend with an Average Directional Index just shy of the 25 mark. Set limit order above market price to be sure we are looking at a bull broadening top, or for added risk buy the retracement when RSI corrects below 70. For best results take 50% position at each. Consider stop-loss below breakout price. Added confidence from the fact that Cracker Barrel is recording a $1.20/share dividend on Jan 11th, issued on Feb 5th. Dividend hunters could help drive this trend up. CBRL reports earnings 02/20 BMO and Estimize revenue expectations are 0.77% higher than Wall Street's. Follow me on Twitter: twitter.com

$FB - The thumbs are pointing downwardThe FB daily shows a coil around the point of control in the 114s. A break north of the coil on weak volume, paired w/ a flat RSI, and MACD negative divergence indicate a potential reversal back into the coil. If the support in the 113s holds, the coil should then break north again. If it fails, it could result in a possible bow draw reversal of the coil, at which the next level of notable support is A move to that degree could result in a possible draw reversal to the lower support in the mid 109s. Target area highlighted in yellow, which is also the .5 - .618 fibonacci levels.
