diamond

The Diamond pattern is a chart formation with four sides and four angles. It usually appears during a period of sideways movement and looks like an expanding triangle followed by a narrowing one.
The Diamond pattern can signal two things:
a trend reversala trend continuation.
How the Diamond pattern works
The Diamond pattern indicates a potential breakout that can continue the previous trend's direction or reverse it.
For a solid Diamond setup, look for a sharp price movement (impulse) followed by a brief period of sideways movement, called a flat. To confirm the pattern's validity before a breakout, ensure the price touches each side of the Diamond at least twice.
The Diamond typically unfolds in three phases
Expansion. After a strong trend, price action becomes volatile, with higher highs and lower lows. This first phase looks like an expanding triangle.Contraction. After reaching maximum volatility, the range starts to tighten. Highs get lower, and lows get higher, so the second phase resembles a narrowing triangle.Breakout. Price breaks out of the narrowing triangle, either up or down, creating a trading opportunity.
Reading Diamond signals
Buy signal
A Buy signal may occur when the price breaks above the resistance trendline—a straight line drawn on a chart connecting multiple points of resistance.
For a more reliable Buy signal, wait for the candlestick to close after the pattern breakout.
Sell signal
A Sell signal may occur when the price breaks below the support trendline—a straight line drawn on a chart connecting multiple points of support.
For a more reliable Sell signal, wait for the candlestick to close after the pattern breakout.
