Stock Downtrend Patterns 1. Bearish Encounter Line Pattern: A strong bullish close meets a strong bearish close, evenly matched in strength. Judgment: If bearish volume exceeds bullish volume, bears win. 2. Flat Top Pattern: Fake bearish, real bullish, but a long upper shadow spells trouble. Warning: High volume signals bigger problems—the higher the volume, the more trapped positions. 3. Broom Star Pattern: Explosive green volume with equal-length upper and lower shadows forming a "中" shape, indicating a balance between bulls and bears. Follow-up: Bears strike, bulls are powerless to fight back, and volume shrinks. 4. High Waves Doji Pattern: Explosive green volume. Warning: Declining volume suggests further drops ahead. 5. Evening Star Pattern: Large-scale selling is often accompanied by high volume.
