# Chart Patterns A chart pattern is a visual formation or shape within a price chart that provides information about what prices may do next. Chart patterns are used in technical analysis to identify trends in the price movement of an asset. They provide a framework for analyzing the battle between bulls and bears and can help traders determine who is winning so that they can position themselves accordingly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
