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.

  • 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.

Breakout lifecycle

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.

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 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.
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 10 active alerts and 10 notifications per day. Sign in with Google to start.
