Course: [ PROFITABLE CANDLESTICK TRADING : Chapter 4: Continuation Patterns ]

Continuation patterns are technical analysis chart patterns that indicate a temporary pause or consolidation in an existing trend, followed by the resumption of the trend. These patterns provide traders with valuable information about the market's direction and momentum, helping them to make informed decisions about buying or selling assets.

THE CONTINUATION PATTERNS

Most Candlestick signals are reversal patterns; however, there are periods of trends that represent rest. The Japanese insight is, “There are times to buy, times to sell, and times to rest".  Once a pattern is recognized, it is suggesting a direction for future price movement. Continuation patterns help with the decision-making process. Whatever the pattern, a decision has to be made-even if the decision is to do nothing.

For easier reference, continuation patterns have a chapter of their own. The continuation patterns included in this chapter are:
