A bullish reversal pattern that signals the start of an uptrend following an extended consolidation period.
Watch videoIt is a YC bullish, trend reversal pattern comparable to an imaginary right triangle. It is made up of two sides joined at a 90 degree angle and linked by a hypotenuse.
Horizontal Line (Long side): Connects two or more near-equal market highs (Line 1).
Vertical Line (Short side): Extends from the horizontal to the lowest market point below it (Line 2).
Hypotenuse: Connects ascending market lows, indicating bounces below the horizontal (Line 3).
Wait for at least two valid bounces and a clean structure before planning entry.
A minimum of two, ideally three, ascending bounces from the left must occur below the horizontal river-line resistance.
Velocity within bounces: Declines from the horizontal river-line resistance to lows (B1, B2, B3) should be slower than the rises back to it (see candle counts in the pic).
A bullish setup is confirmed after breakout and controlled retest near the key level. Place stop loss below invalidation.
A buy signal is generated when the price closes above the horizontal line after at least two bounces.
A stop loss should be set just below the most recent bounce low before the breakout.

Historical cases show meaningful upside when confirmation and risk management are respected.
