Bull Trap Variation

To learn more about this pattern, please read the bull trap pattern description.

Bull trap variation pattern is a bull trap pattern that appears in 6 columns instead of 4.

In bull trap pattern, the double top buy pattern is immediately followed by double bottom sell pattern. However, in variation patterns, the double bottom sell pattern does not happen right after the bullish pattEven though the reverse signal did not arrive immediately, it occurred after consolidation, which further proves the strength of the bears and the weakness of the bulls.

Sometimes, the Xs in the 2nd and 3rd columns are at similar levels, resembling the traditional head and shoulders bearish reversal pattern.
