As the title suggests, a perfect textbook diamond reversal pattern forming on the 1 HR.
Even the Stoch pattern matches up with the example given on Investopedia.
You also see a volume spike in the middle of the formation, with trailing volume toward the ends, which is another characteristic of the BDR.
We had a H&S forming and had consolidation placing the head slightly to the left. Yet another identifier in the bearish Diamond Reversal (See article here on identifiers for this pattern: www.investopedia.com...x/05/diamondbear.asp)
Breaking down here gives exactly a 3% price target to the downside (Target is assumed by taking the distance between the top and the bottom of the diamond. This also coincideds with decent support that has built up over the last week, so profit taking somewhere in the vicinity of 6500. Mine will be set at 6520 just to be safe.
The current market is a little unpredictabel and I am taking profit where I can. Highly overleveraged shorts combined with hopium is a difficult thing to counter trade, but it can pay off if done right with high probability trades like this one. Stay safe, DYOR, and manage your risk!
