    That one, or a lookalike?

    Illustrative example: a catalog drawing next to a made-up chart. Not a detection.

    Looking alike isn’t enough. A close confirms it.

    This is how Copilot reads a head & shoulders top: three levels, each with its job.

    Confirms
    A close below the neckline.
    Invalidates
    A move back above the right shoulder.
    Target
    The height from head to neckline, projected down from the break.

    Until it closes below the neckline, it only looks alike.

    Reversal

    When the trend turns around.

    • Head & shoulders top

      Confirms
      Close below the neckline
      Invalidates
      Back above the right shoulder
      What it is

      Bearish reversal at the end of an uptrend. Three peaks: the middle one (the head) tops both shoulders, and the line joining the valleys forms the neckline. It confirms when price closes below the neckline; the target is the head-to-neckline height projected downward.

      Understand this pattern
    • Inverse head & shoulders

      Confirms
      Close above the neckline
      Invalidates
      Back below the right shoulder
      What it is

      Mirror image: bullish reversal at the end of a downtrend. The head is the deepest low between two shoulders; it confirms on a close above the neckline, with a symmetric target upward.

      Understand this pattern
    • Failed head & shoulders

      Confirms
      Reclaims the neckline it broke
      Invalidates
      Loses the neckline again
      What it is

      A head-and-shoulders that broke its neckline but price snapped back to the other side and resumed the prior trend. It’s a trap: it cancels the original pattern’s target instead of meeting it.

      Understand this pattern
    • Double top

      Confirms
      Breaks the middle trough
      Invalidates
      Clears both peaks
      What it is

      Two peaks at the same level (±1.5%) separated by a valley. Signals buyer exhaustion; it confirms when price loses the middle valley, with a target equal to the pattern’s height.

      Understand this pattern
    • Double bottom

      Confirms
      Clears the middle peak
      Invalidates
      Breaks both troughs
      What it is

      Two valleys at the same level with a peak between them. Signals seller exhaustion; it confirms on a break above the middle peak, projecting the pattern’s height upward.

      Understand this pattern
    • Triple top

      Confirms
      Breaks the lower of the two troughs
      Invalidates
      Clears the level of the three peaks
      What it is

      Three peaks at one level separated by two valleys. A stricter version of the double top; it breaks when price loses the lower of the two valleys.

      Understand this pattern
    • Triple bottom

      Confirms
      Clears the higher of the two peaks
      Invalidates
      Breaks the level of the three troughs
      What it is

      Three valleys at one level separated by two peaks. It breaks upward when price clears the higher of the two peaks.

      Understand this pattern
    • Island reversal

      Confirms
      The second gap stays open
      Invalidates
      Price fills the exit gap
      What it is

      A stretch of price left stranded by two opposite gaps —one on entry and one on exit— forming an island. It marks a sharp shift in sentiment, with no measured target.

      Understand this pattern
    • Spike / V reversal

      Confirms
      Sharp turn with no base
      Invalidates
      Retakes the tip of the V
      What it is

      A V-shaped reversal after an overextension: price turns abruptly without building a base. Hard to anticipate and with no measured target.

      Understand this pattern
    • Saucer

      Confirms
      Clears the rim of the saucer
      Invalidates
      Breaks the rounded bottom
      What it is

      A slow, rounded reversal, typical of higher timeframes (weekly, monthly). The trend change is gradual, with no single breakout point; it defines no target.

      Understand this pattern

    Continuation

    When the trend pauses and carries on.

    • Fan principle

      Confirms
      Breaks the third line
      Invalidates
      The third line holds
      What it is

      The fan principle (rule of three): after a major extreme, three successive reactions whose trendlines gradually flatten. The reversal signal appears when the third line breaks.

      Understand this pattern
    • Symmetrical triangle

      Confirms
      Close outside the triangle
      Invalidates
      Back inside after the break
      What it is

      A consolidation between a falling upper line and a rising lower line. It usually resolves in the direction of the prior trend; the target is the triangle’s base measured from the breakout.

      Understand this pattern
    • Ascending triangle

      Confirms
      Close above resistance
      Invalidates
      Breaks the line of rising lows
      What it is

      Horizontal resistance on top and rising lows below. Bullish bias: it typically breaks upward, with a target equal to the base height.

      Understand this pattern
    • Descending triangle

      Confirms
      Close below support
      Invalidates
      Clears the line of falling highs
      What it is

      Horizontal support below and falling highs on top. Bearish bias: it typically breaks downward, with a target equal to the base height.

      Understand this pattern
    • Flag

      Confirms
      Leaves the channel with the pole
      Invalidates
      Retraces more than half the pole
      What it is

      A brief pause shaped like a channel sloping against the trend, after a strong move (the pole). The target repeats the pole’s length from the breakout.

      Understand this pattern
    • Pennant

      Confirms
      Breaks with the pole
      Invalidates
      Breaks against the pole
      What it is

      Like the flag but shaped as a small triangle after the pole. Same measurement: the target repeats the pole’s length from the breakout.

      Understand this pattern
    • Wedge

      Confirms
      Breaks against its slope
      Invalidates
      Keeps going with its slope
      What it is

      Two lines converging with the same slope. It breaks against that slope; the target is estimated by analogy with the triangle, with lower reliability.

      Understand this pattern
    • Rectangle

      Confirms
      Close outside the band
      Invalidates
      Back inside the band
      What it is

      A sideways band between horizontal support and resistance. On a break, the target is the band’s height projected in the breakout’s direction.

      Understand this pattern
    • Broadening formation

      Confirms
      Breaks the last low
      Invalidates
      Clears the last high
      What it is

      A megaphone: lines that widen instead of converging. It reflects rising volatility and indecision, typical of tops; hard to trade and with no measured target.

      Understand this pattern
    • Bullish continuation H&S

      Confirms
      Close above the neckline
      Invalidates
      Breaks the low of the head
      What it is

      A head-and-shoulders that appears within an ongoing uptrend and resumes it rather than reversing it. The three points are lows and the head is the deepest.

      Understand this pattern
    • Bearish continuation H&S

      Confirms
      Close below the neckline
      Invalidates
      Clears the high of the head
      What it is

      The bearish version: it appears within an ongoing downtrend and resumes it. The three points are highs and the head is the tallest.

      Understand this pattern

    Structure & projection

    The levels and lines that measure the move.

    • Support & resistance

      Confirms
      Price reacts at the level
      Invalidates
      Clean close on the other side
      What it is

      Horizontal levels where price reacted one or more times. Supports halt declines; resistances halt advances. They’re reference zones, not entry signals on their own.

      Understand this pattern
    • Level role reversal

      Confirms
      The broken level holds the retest
      Invalidates
      Crosses the level back
      What it is

      Role reversal: a level broken with margin swaps roles —a lost support starts acting as resistance, and vice versa— when price tests it again from the other side.

      Understand this pattern
    • Trendline

      Confirms
      A third touch that holds
      Invalidates
      Close on the other side of the line
      What it is

      A live trendline: it joins two pivots of the same kind (rising lows if bullish, falling highs if bearish) and a third one validates it on a touch. It works as dynamic support or resistance.

      Understand this pattern
    • Trendline adjustment

      Confirms
      Trend carries on with a flatter slope
      Invalidates
      Breaks the last pivot
      What it is

      Trendline adjustment: the original line breaks but the trend continues in the same direction with a gentler slope. The break was a slowdown, not a reversal.

      Understand this pattern
    • Trendline break target

      Confirms
      Close on the other side of the line
      Invalidates
      Reclaims the broken line
      What it is

      Trendline-break target: when price breaks the line, the target projects the maximum distance it had strayed from it before breaking.

      Understand this pattern
    • Channel

      Confirms
      Close outside the channel
      Invalidates
      Back inside the channel
      What it is

      A trend channel: two parallel lines containing price. On a channel break, the target is its width projected in the breakout’s direction.

      Understand this pattern
    • Retracements 38·50·62

      Confirms
      Pauses at 38, 50 or 62 % and resumes
      Invalidates
      Goes past 62 %
      What it is

      Retracement zones (38.2 / 50 / 61.8%) of a prior leg. They mark where a correction tends to pause before resuming the main move.

      Understand this pattern
    • Speed lines

      Confirms
      Holds above the 2/3 line
      Invalidates
      Breaks the 1/3 line
      What it is

      Speed lines at 1/3 and 2/3 of the move’s height. They measure the trend’s pace and act as successive supports or resistances.

      Understand this pattern
    • Gann fan

      Confirms
      Holds above the 1x1 line
      Invalidates
      Breaks the 1x1 and the next line
      What it is

      A Gann fan: a set of lines from an extreme (the 1x1 at 45° plus its auxiliaries). Each line acts as a successive support or resistance by angle.

      Understand this pattern
    • Fibonacci fan

      Confirms
      Holds at a fan line
      Invalidates
      Breaks the 61.8 % line
      What it is

      A Fibonacci fan: lines drawn at 38.2 / 50 / 61.8% from an extreme. Used like speed lines, to locate diagonal supports and resistances.

      Understand this pattern
    • Measured move

      Confirms
      C stays inside the A→B leg
      Invalidates
      C goes past A
      What it is

      Measured move (AB=CD): after a leg A→B and a correction to C, a leg D of the same size as A→B is projected. Correction C must stay within the initial leg.

      Understand this pattern

    Gaps

    They aren’t catalog patterns: Copilot detects them separately.

    • Measuring gap

      Confirms
      The gap stays open
      Invalidates
      Price fills it right away
      What it is

      A halfway measuring gap: it appears in the middle of a strong move. It projects the remaining leg to equal the distance already covered up to the gap.

      Understand this pattern
    • Gap

      Confirms
      Stays open as a reference
      Invalidates
      Fills within a few candles
      What it is

      An unclassified price gap: a jump between two candles with no continuity. It’s marked as a reference but defines no measured target.
