Symmetrical broadening formations

	Triangles		Symmetrical broadening wedge
	Wedges		Broadening wedges
	Flags and pennants		Right-angled broadening wedge
	Head and shoulders		Double (or triple)  tops (or bottoms)
	Rectangles		Cup with handle

Unlike triangles, symmetrical broadening patterns are characterized by an oscillation of prices that is increasingly large between two diverging trend lines. Volumes increase progressively as the pattern forms. The exit is random, the forex price can either break out through the top or through the bottom.
