Pattern anatomy

Three failed advances near the same resistance area that may precede a bearish trend reversal.

Three resistance tests with two reaction lows; confirmation is a break below shared support.

How it works

Identify the prior trend first, mark repeated swing highs and lows, then draw only the support, resistance, or neckline justified by those pivots. A pattern remains provisional until price closes beyond its confirmation boundary; visual resemblance alone is not enough.

How to read it

Repeated rejection demonstrates persistent supply, but also makes the support line between peaks the decisive level. A support break completes the pattern.

Confirmation checklist

Look for an established prior trend, a completed boundary break, and preferably expanding volume or momentum confirmation. A reversal pattern formed without a trend to reverse is weaker evidence.

Limitations and false signals

Repeated tests can weaken resistance and eventually produce an upside breakout. Do not assume the third test must fail.
