Broadening Bottom Chart Pattern

A broadening bottom pattern usually forms in a downtrend and potentially signals a bull market reversal. It has the appearance of a megaphone as the price expands with higher highs and lower lows.

This chart pattern looks like a potential correction before moving lower but indicates a reversal in the previous trend. A broadening bottom is a form of consolidation and forms support and a new base for the bull reversal.

Summary:

An Outline Of The Topic Discussed:

The broadening bottom develops in an uptrend in nature.

Getting known with broadening tops and bottoms are more or less the same, except that prices enter the formation after a downtrend.

If the general market is at a turning point (from down to up), prices should reverse course and exit at the top of the chart pattern, but there is no assurance.

Most of the time, 60 % of the pattern reverses the existing price trend. Upgrading on uncertainty, so make sure for the breakout.

It searches for higher highs and lower lows - the broadening bottom pattern that gives the pattern formation.

A minimum of at least two minor highs and two minor lows touching or nearing the trend lines that outline the pattern is required. Look for plenty of price crossings within the trend lines. The volume pattern is unpredictable, increasing in a rising price trend and moving back in a declining price trend.
