While there are general ideas and components to every chart pattern, there is no chart pattern that will tell you with 100% certainty where a currency pair is headed.

Here is a handful of the basic chart patterns:-

- Double Top Chart Pattern
- Double Bottom Chart Pattern
- Head & Shoulders Top Pattern
- Diamond Top Pattern
- Symmetrical Triangle
