The Broadening Pattern

In a broadening pattern, Instead of having convergent endings like triangles, trendlines are going away from each other. Prices along the peaks become higher and along the bottom become lower. Although facing a broadening pattern in a price chart is rare, it doesn't cause to be ignored. Broadening patterns come in a variety of styles and names, like  Broadening Top, Broadening Bottom, Broadening Right-Angle Descending and Broadening Right-Angle Ascending. All of them have one common feature: Divergency.  
By drawing trendlines that one connects the minor highs along the top and the other connects the minor lows along the bottom, a megaphone shape becomes visible. 

1. Appearance: In layman's terms, It looks like an inverted symmetric triangle with two upper and lower slopped-trendlines. 

2. Trendline: The upper bound is an uptrend and the lower one is a downtrend line which they have started from a point but goes ultimately far away.   
3. Pattern Category: Continues; following the prevailing price trend.
4. Breakout Direction: 

Expectation: Like any other continuous pattern, in a bullish market, upward breakouts occur, and in a bearish trend, downward breakout. Specificallydetermining the breakout price is one of the challenges of broadening patterns. In the broadening pattern, two aside trendlines are getting away from each other over time. The last price swing in the pattern demonstrates a vertical distance, which is determined as height. The price is expected to reach a level as long as the height of the triangle. 

Failure: Acting reversal manner is a sign of a pattern's failure. It also informs further movements and skillful traders take it as a chance.
