Chart patterns, auto-detected and caught mid-formation.
CoinBeacon sweeps Binance spot and futures for classic chart patterns — triangles, wedges, channels, flags and double tops — and tells you exactly where each one is in its life: forming, near a breakout, broken on a closed candle, holding a retest, or failed.

Eighteen patterns, drawn from real trendlines.
Each pattern is built from the dominant support and resistance lines price is actually respecting — not a template stamped onto noise. Guards drop patterns that don't contain price, slivers beside the real structure, and a quiet base under a lone breakout spike. The card here is one live detection off the board below, its two boundaries plotted through the touches they were fitted to.
- 18 pattern types. Triangles, rising/falling/broadening wedges, channels, rectangles, flags, pennants, and double tops and bottoms.
- Two respected boundaries. Only confirmed 3-touch trendlines can mint a triangle or wedge — the same lines the Trendlines detector draws.
- Direction follows the break. A symmetrical triangle or rectangle is labeled by which boundary price actually broke, not a textbook guess.
- Ranked by usability. A quality score lifts near-and-active structures with real amplitude and sinks flat, base-plus-spike false positives.

Every pattern, placed in its breakout life.
A pattern is only worth trading at the right moment. CoinBeacon confirms a break when price CLOSES beyond the boundary by an ATR-scaled margin — never on an intrabar poke — then tracks it forward through the retest and calls the traps when a break reclaims the line.
- Forming → near. Still building inside its lines, or sitting on a boundary about to resolve — watched before it moves.
- Broken, on a closed candle. The breakout confirmed with a decisive close, tagged up or down, with bars-since so you know how fresh it is.
- Retest holding. The break pulled back to the flipped boundary and held — the highest-quality entry, plus a measured-move target.
- Failed & invalidated. A confirmed break that reclaimed the line is flagged as a trap; a negated pattern is hidden, never left stale.

Five families, eighteen patterns.
Filter the scanner by family, type, and lifecycle state across 15m · 1h · 4h · 1D · 1W. Pairs well with Trendlines and Smart Setups, which score a pattern alongside volume and momentum.
Triangles
Two converging boundaries closing toward an apex.
Wedges
Both lines slope the same way — reversal vs continuation from the prior trend.
Channels & rectangles
Parallel boundaries — a trending channel or a flat range.
Flags & pennants
A sharp flagpole, then a tight pause before continuation.
Double tops & bottoms
Twin extremes and a neckline that confirms the reversal.

Four steps, nothing to draw
How to find chart patterns in crypto without drawing a line yourself.
- 01Open the scanner and pick a timeframeThe board sweeps Binance spot and futures on five candle intervals — 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D and 1W. Intraday structure lives on the 15m and 1h; the triangles and channels that decide a swing sit on the 4h, daily and weekly.
- 02Filter to the patterns you actually tradeNarrow by family — triangles, wedges, channels and rectangles, flags and pennants, double tops and bottoms — then by individual type, by bullish or bearish bias, or search a single coin. Matches arrive ranked by quality score, strongest structure first.
- 03Read the lifecycle stamp before you actEvery card says where the pattern stands: forming inside its lines, near a boundary about to resolve, broken on a closed candle, holding its retest, or failed. Bars-since sits beside it, so a break from a dozen candles ago never reads as fresh.
- 04Take the boundary to a price alertEach card carries the support and resistance the pattern is built from, plus a measured-move target. Put a price alert on the level you care about and the move reaches Telegram, Discord, email or a webhook with the chart closed.
What traders watch them for
Triangle breakouts, bull flags, and the double top before it snaps.
Ascending triangle breakouts, confirmed not guessed
A flat ceiling with higher lows under it is the structure half the market is already drawing. The scanner marks it while it's still forming and only calls the break on a close beyond the boundary. Read it next to the volume scanner — a break with real participation behind it is a different trade from one without.
Bull flag and pennant continuation after a run
A sharp flagpole then a tight pause is continuation structure, and it resolves fast. Filter the board to flags and pennants on your timeframe and you see them while the pause is still tight. Smart Setups takes the same pattern further, scoring it 0-100 beside volume, momentum and the higher-timeframe read, and ranking it against every other setup on the board.
Double tops and bottoms at levels that already matter
Twin extremes count for more when the neckline sits on a line the market already respects. Put the double-top and double-bottom detections next to the auto-marked key levels — pivots, Fibonacci retracements, round numbers, the prior all-time high — and a reversal at real structure separates itself from one drawn on empty air.
Wedge breakouts and the retest entry
Rising and falling wedges are only minted from confirmed three-touch lines — the same ones the trendlines detector draws. That's what makes the retest readable: when the break pulls back to the flipped boundary and holds, the card says so, and the level to work from is printed on it.
Chart patterns — common questions
- Which chart patterns does CoinBeacon detect?
- Eighteen pattern types across five families: triangles (symmetrical, ascending, descending), wedges (rising, falling and broadening, reversal or continuation), channels, rectangles, flags and pennants, and double tops and bottoms — scanned on Binance spot and futures.
- How do I find crypto chart patterns without drawing them myself?
- Open the pattern scanner — it sweeps Binance spot and futures and lists every structure it currently sees, so nothing has to be drawn by hand. Filter the board by family, pattern type, bullish or bearish bias and lifecycle state, or search a single coin. Matches arrive ranked by a quality score, so the patterns worth a second look sit at the top.
- How does the scanner confirm a breakout?
- A breakout only counts once price CLOSES beyond the boundary by an ATR-scaled margin — never on an intrabar wick. Each pattern is then tagged forming, near, broken, retest, or failed, so you can tell a real break from a trap that reclaimed the line.
- What does the retest-holding status mean on a pattern card?
- It means a confirmed break came back to the boundary it broke, found it flipped from resistance to support (or the reverse), and held. That is the highest-quality moment in a pattern's life, and the card carries a measured-move target alongside it. If price instead closes back inside the pattern, the card is re-labelled a failed break, so the trap is visible rather than chased.
- Which timeframes and exchanges does the chart pattern scanner cover?
- Five timeframes — 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D and 1W — on Binance spot and futures pairs. Patterns are built from that candle history rather than a blend of venues, so a detection lines up with the chart you are already reading. Every timeframe is scanned on closed candles only, which is why a pattern cannot repaint mid-bar.
- Can I get an alert when a chart pattern breaks out?
- Not as a pattern alert — the scanner is a board you open, and chart patterns are not one of CoinBeacon's 19 alert types. What traders do instead is read the boundary price off a pattern card and put a price alert at that number, so the break reaches Telegram, Discord, email or a webhook while they are away from the screen.
- What is the difference between a chart pattern and a candlestick pattern?
- Scale. A chart pattern is structure built over many candles — a triangle, a wedge, a bull flag, a double top — defined by the two boundaries price is respecting. A candlestick pattern is the shape of one to five bars, such as an engulfing candle or a hammer. CoinBeacon detects both, and they are strongest when they agree: a reversal candle printing right on a pattern boundary.
- Is the chart pattern scanner free to use?
- Yes. The free plan includes every CoinBeacon feature — the pattern scanner, all detectors and live charts — with up to 5 active alerts and 10 notifications per day. Sign in with Google to start.
