Rectangle Chart Pattern - Rectangle Pattern and Chart analysis

A rectangle chart pattern is characterized as a short-term horizontal channel, and it represents a trading range and indecision area that usually resolves in the direction of the main trend. Chart analysis usually considers the rectangle pattern as a continuation formation, but it can also mark significant top and bottom. The rectangle pattern within a younger parent trend has more chances to mark a continuation. To estimate the maturity of the parent trend, consult technical indicators. Volume should increase during breakout, but in contrast with other continuation patterns, the rectangle does not inherit standard volume behavior. After breakout, the rectangle pattern resistance may turn into potential support and vice versa.
Tips:
# 1 As a continuation pattern, the rectangle pattern usually appears within a young trend characterized by neutral long-term indicators and overbought/oversold daily indicators. The pattern resets short-term indicators to neutral and then continues movement in the parent's direction.
# 2 As a reversal formation, the pattern appears in a mature trend characterized by overbought/oversold indicators on long and short time frames. This situation usually generates divergence on weekly indicators.
# 3 For the best results, the rectangle chart pattern should be considered together with other technical analysis signals, chart analysis, and technical trading techniques.
Estimated target: the higher level parent's support/resistance line.
