Read Consolidation Chart Pattern
To Read consolidation chart patterns - traders need to learn about gold trading analysis of consolidation chart patterns.
Consolidation Trading Patterns
XAUUSD Trading consolidation patterns are xauusd patterns with converging trend-lines that form a gold price consolidation period in the gold market & this forms a symmetrical triangle pattern.
The technical analysis buy trading signal point from a consolidation chart pattern is the upside gold price breakout
While a downside gold price break out is a technical sell signal.
Ideally, gold price breaks-out from a symmetrical triangle consolidation pattern before the gold price reaches the apex of the symmetric triangle consolidation pattern.
XAUUSD Trendlines can be drawn connecting the lows & highs of the gold price consolidation period - the trend lines formed are symmetric & converge to form an apex of a triangle.
A gold price breakout should occur somewhere between 60% to 80% in to the consolidation pattern - symmetric triangle chart pattern. An early price breakout or late price breakout is more prone to failure, & therefore is a less reliable gold trading breakout signal.
After a gold price breakout - the apex forms support level or resistance level for the gold price - price that has broken out of consolidation xauusd pattern should not retrace past the apex point. The apex of the consolidation pattern is used as a stoploss order setting level for the open gold trades.
When consolidation patterns form - traders say that the xauusd market is taking a pause before deciding which is the next direction to take.
These consolidation patterns form when the xauusd market can't decide which direction to move.
