Trend & Structure

Symmetry as a target

Markets often repeat the size of their last impulse: leg two ≈ leg one. Project the first leg's height from the breakout point for a rational profit target.

Check yourself

The flag pole is $5 tall. Price breaks the flag at $52. Target ≈

  1. $54
  2. $57 correct
  3. $62

Pole height projected from the break: 52 + 5 = 57. Symmetry isn't law, but it's a rational objective.
