Bulkowski's Rectangle Bottoms Quiz

Released 10/18/2019.

Rectangle Bottoms: Quiz

Below is a slider quiz to test your ability to identify rectangle bottoms and trade them. Captions appear below the pictures in red for guidance, so be sure to scroll down far enough to read them.

1 / 7

Rectangle bottoms, so called because price enters the pattern from the top, are mid list performing chart patterns. The failure rate is higher than other chart patterns, but the average rise in a bull market is quite good. However, rectangle bottoms (or horizontal channels) are rare. This is an example of one at A, between the two horizontal trendlines. Price makes a partial rise at B which correctly predicts a downward breakout, C.

2 / 7
