In this piece, they discuss diamond chart patterns and how to trade them. For many traders, and especially day traders, technical analysis is a crucial factor in the success or failure of their endeavour. Technical analysis gives traders the opportunity to guess the future price movement of an asset-based on mathematical equations and patterns. In their latest piece, the analysts at IQ Option explain diamond chart patterns and how they can be utilized as a technical indicator. The first thing to look out for is a diamond top pattern; although it does not occur often, when it makes an appearance it could be predicting an upcoming trend reversal in the assets price. To see if the chart is in a diamond chart pattern, look for: • if the price is trending upward • if it initially starts fluctuating with peaks being higher than troughs • the highs and lows are creating a diamond shape (although it doesn’t have to be symmetrical) The opposite of the diamond top pattern is the diamond bottom pattern, which occurs after a strong downward trend of a trading pair. The diamond represents the battle between buyers and sellers in a specific market. When you see this pattern, a signal for a buy entry is an upwards breakthrough of the resistance lines. This technical indicator requires a lot of practice to master but can be added to your repertoire of technical analysis tools
