Broadeningpattern

Pattern Cheatsheet: Identfying a Broadening Top PatternThe Broadening Top pattern appears when price makes a straight upwards run (similar to the "Flagpole" of a Bull Flag Pattern, then swings between two expanding broadening trendlines with at least 5 touches. It is a neutral pattern which means it can break out in either direction, on the bottom right examples i have explained how the pattern is identified, measured and traded for both Bullish & Bearish breakouts. The idea is to get a entry early by identifying the pattern, (point A) which allows for a better Risk:Reward ratio and closer stop loss. The second potential entry is at point B, which is considered a Bullish or Bearish retest ( Support/Resistance flip it is also known as), but this area is a bit risker and has less "room to move". The pattern can give a a sign that the price may have a higher chance in heading in a certain direction, and we can measure the height of the straight run upwards, aswell as the height of the two LARGEST SWINGS within the pattern to get two possible price targets ; one conservative and one less so. The Broadening Top appears frequently on Bitcoin & Ethereum and has one of the better success rates out of all the different Broadening Patterns and is one of the easiest to trade & identify because often it works similar to a Bull Flag pattern.
