What's a pipe bottom? tia
Pipe Bottom:
Two things to look for. A price bottom action where we have a price floor. Then we are looking for a break below the price floor which immediately reverses and extends beyond all previous upthrusts. They are more reliable on a weekly than the daily. This daily will help demonstrate the floor. The circled area is NOT a pipe bottom; however if that formation appeared after a price floor, that is what you are looking for.
Pipe bottoms are based on PRICE alone and no other indicator. They are easiest to see on barcharts. unfourtunately my first post is a candle chart so it isnt as obvious. Do a weekly BIDU with barchart and you should see a possible pipe bottom.
