Three Rising Valleys- Explained
Among the patterns that the Tickeron Pattern Search Engine identifies is one called Three Rising Valleys. The name is pretty self-explanatory and indicates what the pattern looks like. The pattern is a bullish one and it develops after a consolidation period or a small decline in the stock. Let’s look at how the pattern forms.
There is a small rise and then a small decline that forms the first valley. Another rise is followed by another small decline where the stock doesn’t drop as low as the first valley and that forms the second valley. Another rise is followed by another decline that doesn’t drop as low as the second valley. This forms the third valley.
After the third valley is formed, the stock rises and the breakout price occurs when the stock rises above the high between the second and third valleys.
The drawing is pretty clean and it makes it easy to see, but not all actual patterns will be this easy to spot. Below is an actual chart of a three rising valleys pattern on Abbott Labs that formed from May through August of 2018.
