Wick bundles, Lop-sided Ms and Lop-sided Ws

[trendie]

Watching markets real-time is very educative.
I am finding real-time charts has revealed real-time patterns.
I want to explore non-indicator based patterns, as forms of trading entries / signals.

Here is a wick bundle, possibly indicating a reversal entry, or an exit for an existing trade?

Another wick bundle on Gold.
How may wicks makes a bundle? 3? 4?

A lop-sided M, where one hump is lower than the other:
Also, a "normal" "W".

I think if I recall, these are Joe Ross hooks.

More lop-sided Ms and Ws.
I find them easier to see on the downside, than up.

The SMA(3) lets me see the levels more easily than just candles.
But, I cant be certain if the level will hold, or not.

EDIT: actually, wasn't there this guy who posted here, years ago, who coined the term "bat ears" for the "M"s?
