Quick Tip: Tops & Bottoms

Here’s a great exercise in price pattern recognition that will help you with your entries and exits. 

Scan any price chart in your favorite time intervals. Look at the swing highs and lows of the price movement. Mark the “V” bottoms and “round” tops. You’ll find that they occur more often than not. 

How does this help? If you’re long and looking for an exit, the stall in momentum, the “round top” is a good signal the move may be ending. If you’re short and looking for an exit, a plunge into an area of demand/support is time to take some if not all the profit. 

You’ll find other uses for this pattern too.
