RECTANGLE CHART PATTERN BREAKOUTS

Every week Tech Charts Global Equity Markets report features some of the well-defined, mature classical chart patterns under a lengthy watchlist and the chart pattern breakout signals that took place during that week. Global Equity Markets report covers single stocks from developed, emerging and frontier markets, ETF’s and global equity indices. The report starts with a review section that highlights the important chart developments on global equity benchmarks. This blog post features from the breakouts section some of the text-book rectangle chart pattern breakouts. Rectangle is one of my favorite classical chart pattern. It has well-defined boundaries. It is easier to identify on price charts. Usually before the breakout takes place price has several tests of the chart pattern boundary. Breakouts after several tests of pattern boundary are usually powerful and are followed by strong trends.

A quick note for our new followers; the red lines on price charts are not provided as stop-loss levels. While they can be used as stop-loss, they are actually a subjective level for chart pattern negation. Chart pattern negation is different than a stop-loss. A stop-loss can be placed below the chart pattern boundary tighter or wider depending on your risk profile and other factors. I attached below a chart that explains each labeling on price charts.
