Hi Anek,
Just a try to interpret the M pattern near a bottom.
When an "M" forms near the bottom, the middle of the M looks like a double bottom, if you take the long after price moves above the mid swing high, you get stopped out at previous swing high (the start of the M). SO, price is basically respecting the s/r level and shoots down to the support level ( which started from M forming). So, price is like sandwiched between the M. Either price goes into consolidation.
Or if price wants to go high, we can read the whole "M" as a double bottom (with the bottom near the lowest support near start of M not the middle part of M) and if it has to come out of this M zone, it has to break the top part of M. When we see a bar close above this M, we can enter a long trade, similar to a double bottom trade. The up move after this M bottom will be very explosive.
Please let me know if I am correct or partially correct atleast.
Thanks
