Neckline Reversal Pattern on NSE (Educational)
A neckline reversal is a W-shaped base where two troughs share a horizontal neckline from a prior downtrend. Clears above the neckline are discussed as potential trend-change signals in structural coursework.
Swing Edge does not provide investment advice or trade instructions. Patterns and levels here are for education and research — you decide any action in the market.
W-Pattern Checklist
Two distinct lows with a rebound between them; neckline connects the intervening peak.
Prior trend context matters—reversals are scored differently from continuation flat bases.
Neckline height and base duration feed into our structural score.
Structural Breakout Scanner
The Structural Breakout screener evaluates neckline_reversal alongside flat_base with separate thresholds.
