Rounding Bottom Pattern is sometimes known as saucer bottom pattern and can predict long term upward trend. It is very similar to cup and handle pattern. The pattern is a long term reversal pattern and it is applied to weekly charts representing consolidation. That turns from bearish to bullish.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThis Rounding bottom pattern can be spotted at the end of a depressingly long downward trends.

The prior top trend shows the buildup to the stock’s initial descent towards its low. The trading volume would be the heaviest at the start of the decline and then would decrease as the share price levels off and approaches the bottom of the pattern formation. As the stock recovers and moves to complete the pattern volume increases as investors buy shares again.  \u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Rounding Bottom Chart Pattern looks like the Rounding Top Chart Pattern if it was flipped horizontally.

In the case of the Rounding Bottom Pattern, however, the initial trend that marks the beginning of the pattern is a downtrend. Post successful completion of this reversal pattern, it is this downtrend that will come to an end.  \u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRounding Bottom Section:\u003c/strong\u003eWith this pattern, the initial downtrend is followed with the gradual loss in momentum of price decline. This gradual loss in momentum eventually results in the downtrend tapering off, resulting in a U shaped formation on the chart. This U shaped formation makes the rounding bottom section of the pattern.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNew Uptrend: \u003c/strong\u003eThis is the final section in the formation of the Rounding Bottom Pattern.
