Pattern Overview

It is a YC bullish, trend reversal pattern that forms at market bottoms after a downtrend and a consolidation range.

1

Initial Downtrend: The market exhibits a clear downward trend.

2

Trading Range: A pause in the decline forms a trading range.

3

False Breakdown: The market appears to continue the downtrend with a break below the range (down break).

4

Reversal: Immediately after the breakdown, the market reverses sharply, closing above the trading range upper boundary.

Formation

Wait for at least two valid bounces and a clean structure before planning entry.

1

Entry Point: Bullish trade entry is when the price closes above the upper limit of the trading range.

2

Velocity: The decline to the new low should be slower or equal to the speed of the rise back above the range. (See candles count in the pic)

A stop loss should be set below the lower boundary of the trading range or below the recent low.
