Do chart patterns have an edge?

Chart patterns are like price action candles, they are historic data, these have no bearing on the outcome of the chart pattern.75% of chart patterns are likely to fizzle out within ranging markets, 25 % of them will work in trending markets, this is because market ranges 80% of the time.A chart pattern has to be useful, if price moves in the future, in the direction of the pattern.Unfortunately price moves (trends) only 20% of the time, so chart patterns in a ranging market have no edge,

 

On this chart, one can see as many failed ascending triangles, as successful ones.Within ranges there is no higher probability of success.

 

The people who know nowt will argue, the chart patterns work 80% of the time.

Here a chart pattern made 400 points on ftse, it was an ascending triangle.In the rectangle box they can fail a lot.Hindsight is everything.

Failure of chart patters.One ascending triangle failed already, will the next one fail?

    • Binance's former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, has admitted to violating US anti-money laundering laws, which may result in him facing jail time. This news comes as a surprise to many, as CZ is highly regarded in the industry, unlike some other exchange founders who have been caught engaging in fraudulent activities.   The US Justice Department is now seeking a longer prison sentence than the initial 12-18 months and has also denied CZ's request to travel despite his trial starting in February 2024.   Following the news of Binance CZ's guilty plea, more than $1 billion was withdrawn from Binance as investors sought out more secure options due to the uncertainty surrounding the exchange and US regulations.   This raises the question of how this situation will impact the long-term future of cryptocurrency, as well as which exchanges are best for investors at this time.
