RH Petrogas Ltd - Bullish Bottom Triangle
RH Petrogas Ltd forms bullish "Bottom Triangle" chart pattern
Sep 18, 2020
Trading Central has detected a "Bottom Triangle" chart pattern formed on RH Petrogas Ltd (T13:SGX-ST). This bullish signal indicates that the stock price may rise from the close of 0.028 to the range of 0.060 - 0.070. The pattern formed over 16 days which is roughly the period of time in which the target price range may be achieved, according to standard principles of technical analysis.
Tells Me: The price seems to have reached a bottom, showing signs of reversal as it has broken upward after a period of uncertainty or consolidation. A Bottom Triangle shows two converging trendlines as prices reach lower highs and higher lows. Volume diminishes as the price swings back and forth between an increasingly narrow range reflecting uncertainty in the market direction. Then well before the triangle reaches its apex, the price breaks above the upper trendline with a noticeable increase in volume, confirming this bullish pattern as a reversal of the prior downtrend.
This bullish pattern can be seen on the following chart and was detected by Trading Central proprietary pattern recognition technology.

Tells Me: The price has broken downward out of a consolidation period, suggesting a continuation of the prior downtrend. A Symmetrical Continuation Triangle (Bearish) shows two converging trendlines as prices reach lower highs and higher lows. Volume diminishes as the price swings back and forth between an increasingly narrow range reflecting uncertainty in the market direction.

Prime US REIT - Bullish Diamond Bottom
Sep 14, 2020
Tells Me: The price seems to have reached a bottom, showing signs of reversal as it has broken upward after a period of uncertainty or consolidation. The Diamond Bottom pattern begins during a downtrend as prices create higher highs and lower lows in a broadening pattern. Then the trading range gradually narrows after the highs peak and the lows start trending upward.

Mandarin Oriental - Bullish Ascending Continuation Triangle
Sep 10, 2020
Tells Me: The increasingly higher lows and constant highs within this pattern tell us that buyers are more aggressive than sellers, confirmed by a breakout through a resistance level to signal a continuation of the prior uptrend. An Ascending Triangle, with its increasingly higher lows and constant highs, indicates that buyers are more aggressive than sellers. The pattern typically forms because a supply of shares is available at a certain price, represented by the upper flat line. When the supply depletes, the shares quickly break out from the top trendline and move higher.
This bullish pattern can be seen on the following chart and was detected by Trading Central proprietary pattern recognition technology.
