• Chart Patterns are visual patterns within the price movement
which are used in the following manner:

• Chart patterns provide structure to the price movement and allow us
to project forward in time to identify future price targets.
– Trading
• Chart patterns also identify trade opportunity, allowing us to enter on
a breakout of the pattern, targeting the analysis price projection.
