Rectangles
Chart Patterns
The box
Price ping-pongs between two horizontal levels. Two trades: fade the edges inside the box, or trade the eventual breakout with volume. Box height projects the target.
Check yourself
Inside an established box, the highest-odds trade is…
- Buy mid-box
- Fade the edges: buy the floor, sell the ceiling correct
- Wait forever
The edges are defended until proven otherwise. The middle offers no edge at all.
