action, and a second setup implying a short-term upward trend in price.

that begins to move in one direction but reverses quickly and is said to establish
a forecast for a move in the opposite direction. This pattern was developed by Daniel L.
Chesler, CMT, who published a description of the pattern first in 2003.
