Quote from Spydertrader:
You annotated a Point Three Up Channel which began as a Traverse. Since this Traverse widened to the Point where it then mirrored the demensions of a channel, one would then expect traverses to, once again, form inside it. Tapes build traverses, and traverses build channels. Once your traverse grew to the size of a channel, you then need a traverse to 'carry' price back across to the other side. The only other option is a 'rocket' (basically a long tape which keeps going). Extremely rare is the case where we see rocket up followed by rocket down.
So, since we know we need a traverse to carry Price back across this new (widened) channel, we must then have an up traverse before we can have a down traverse.
Also, Non-dominant traverses form in two ways: Point Three's and Lateral Movement.
