📖 What a rectangle / trading range is

Highs cluster around one level and lows around another, with several touches of each. The result is a horizontal box.

Why it forms

Two sets of participants with fixed opinions: one selling the top, one buying the bottom. Nothing is resolved until one of them stops.

🎯 Trigger

A close outside the box. The taller and better-tested the box, the more the break matters.

📏 Target

Project the height of the box from the break in its direction.

🛑 Invalidation

Price re-entering the box after the break, which turns the move into a false breakout.

JUNIPER — Weekly

Forming
JUNIPER rectangle / trading range pattern on weekly candles, with the pattern boundaries and breakout level drawn
The shaded band is the formation. On tops and bottoms the indigo line traces the shape itself — up into the left shoulder, over the head, and away from the right — and the dashed line is the neckline it has to break; on triangles, wedges and channels the two solid boundaries are the pattern. Triangle markers are the swing highs and lows those lines were fitted through, and the dash-dot line is the measured-move target once the pattern has broken.
❓ Rectangle / Trading Range FAQ
How do you trade a rectangle pattern?
Two ways. Range traders buy the floor and sell the ceiling while the box holds. Breakout traders wait for a close outside it. Doing both at once is how people get chopped up.
How many touches make a valid trading range?
At least two clear touches of each boundary, and Flash Finance requires five or more touches in total before it will label a range at all — otherwise every sideways drift qualifies.
What happens after a rectangle breaks?
Old resistance often becomes support, and the first pullback to the broken boundary is where the pattern is usually traded.

How these are found: swing highs and lows are picked out with a percentage ZigZag on daily and weekly candles, and the boundaries are line-fitted through those swings. A formation is only published when the fit is tight, the boundaries are actually touched several times, and the price action stays inside them. The most recent swing is provisional, so a forming pattern can still change shape on the next candle, and patterns whose break already played out are dropped rather than shown as fresh. Levels and targets are the textbook measured moves, not forecasts. This is auto-generated market data, not investment advice.
