Reverse trendlines as a geometry lab for convergence and expanding triangles

Draw reverse trendlines first

Reverse trendlines are drawn along successive highs during advances and along successive lows during declines. That construction is opposite conventional support-to-support or supply-to-supply practice. In the historical workflow a reverse-trendline is then extended forward rather than left as a local edge.

Editorial reading: treat the reverse-trendline as the first object in a geometry lab. Draw it on the side of the swing that is already in motion, then keep the line available for a later meeting with a steeper partner.

Let steeper lines meet ahead of price

Later reverse trendlines are chosen with steeper ascent than earlier ones so that two or more extensions meet at one point placed to the right of current price. That line-convergence is treated as a candidate rally target.

Editorial reading: the meeting point is a hypothesis about location, not a completed event. Later price is what confirms or kills it.

Frame later swings with an expanding triangle

Reverse lines from declining phases, added to those from rallies, produce an expanding triangle used to frame subsequent market swings.

Editorial reading: the triangle-pattern is the frame for later swings. It becomes part of the lab only when a boundary shares a location with the line-convergence target.

Test short-term convergence on a longer-horizon chart

A longer-horizon chart is used to test whether short-term reverse-line convergence sits between two prominent resistance highs, with the more recent high lower than the earlier one.

Editorial reading: those two highs are a double-top-bottom test. The short-term line-convergence is asked to sit inside that two-peak contention so one shared location can be confirmed or killed.

Mark a three-wave-countertrend in an advance

In an advancing market a three-wave-countertrend is marked, a reverse line is drawn from the middle-rally highs, and that line is extended forward as the target after the second downthrust. The second downthrust is treated as more likely complete when price pauses near additional reverse lines from earlier lows and remains a shorter thrust than the first downswing. If the second downthrust extends beyond the first, the method treats the decline as still underway and withholds entry on that criterion.

Read a 15-minute euro expansion and a double high

On a 15-minute euro chart ahead of a scheduled report, two outer reverse lines framed an expansion whose inner reverse lines clustered at both extremes. Coincidence of more lines was described as strengthening the target reading. After a first impulse low and a single test of the session thrust high, read as a double high, a later break below the intervening pivot was treated as making a move toward the lower expanding-triangle boundary more likely. A later return to the double-high test level was described as leaving that contention unresolved and warning that an upside break could still develop.

Editorial reading: the double high is a double-top-bottom signal that the contention point may be failing or may still be unresolved. The break below the intervening pivot favored the lower triangle boundary, but the later return left the same location open to an upside break.
