Chart patterns or price formations are patterns that are seen on asset price charts, the price is forming these patterns and are the basis of technical analysis. They seek to measure the reactions of market participants, whether they are euphoric or fearful and act accordingly. In other words, they have predictive value.
Traders study and analyse price patterns and formations and important areas of support and resistance, in order to make investment decisions.
There are several formations, those that announce a change of trend and those that only show a consolidation in the current trend (trend continuation formations or patterns).
