CONTINUATION PATTERNS

Fate aids the courageous.

All of the candle signals we've seen so far have been reversals. In fact, most candle signals are trend reversals. There are, however, a group of candle patterns that are continuation indicators. A continuation pattern is one in which the market should continue the same trend as that in force before the continuation pattern. For instance, a continuation pattern following a rally means that the trend remains up and we should expect the rally to remain in force. (This, however, does not preclude a correction after the continuation pattern before the rally, hopefully, unfolds.)

As the Japanese express it, "There are times to buy, times to sell, and times to rest." Many of these continuation patterns

imply a time of rest, a breather, before the market resumes its prior trend. The continuation formations reviewed in this chap­ter are windows (and patterns that include windows), the ris­ing and falling three methods, separating lines, and three white soldiers.
