What chart pattern guides are available from BitMEX?
BitMEX offers a comprehensive series of chart pattern analysis guides on the Blog, designed to help traders identify recurring price formations and understand what those formations may signal about future market direction. The series is split into two categories: structural chart patterns and candlestick formations.
The chart pattern series progresses from foundational concepts to more advanced formations:
Chart pattern series
- An Introduction to Chart Pattern Analysis – covers the basics of recognising and interpreting patterns on price charts
- Part 1: A Guide to Continuation Patterns – explores flags, pennants, and other formations that suggest an existing trend will persist
- Part 2: The Role of Triangles – examines ascending, descending, and symmetrical triangles and their breakout implications
- Part 3: Trading Cups and Shoulders – analyses cup-and-handle and head-and-shoulders patterns used to identify potential reversals
The candlestick guides complement the structural series by focusing on shorter-term price action signals:
Candlestick guides
- A Guide to Bearish Candlesticks – identifies candle formations that suggest downward momentum
- A Guide to Neutral Candlesticks – covers patterns indicating market indecision or consolidation
- A Guide to Bullish Candlesticks – highlights candle formations associated with upward price movement
Each guide explores specific formations traders use to identify potential market movements, from trend continuation signals to reversal indicators. Reading the series in order provides a structured learning path from basic pattern recognition through to advanced candlestick interpretation.
