Exclusive Market Analysis, Alerts and Commentary from the DaytradeTeam trading staff
Sometimes after an upward exhaustion gap has formed, prices trade in a narrow range for a couple of days or weeks before gapping to the downside. This is the
island reversal pattern. This pattern can be spotted readily in
Swing or
Options trading, but is also seen in
Day trading.
The
island reversal top is so called because the few days of price actions looks like an "island" surrounded by space. An
exhaustion gap on the upside and a
breakaway gap on the downside creates the island reversal pattern and usually indicates a
trend reversal of some magnitude. However, the major significance of the reversal depends on where the prices are located in the
trend.
