You will learn more about the Spinning Bottom Pattern in detail, which you could use in your trading technique. So read the full blog to get a better understanding of the pattern and techniques. Let’s dive into the concept.

Introduction of Spinning Bottom Pattern

The Spinning Bottom Pattern is a trend reversal pattern. It is formed on the Low Trend in the chart. So the prior trend should be an downtrend. If this pattern is formed in the low trend, it has the possibility that this pattern will work 70% in the market.

The Spinning Bottom has a small real body and a long upper and lower shadow. The upper and lower shadow must be 1.5 times longer than the Spinning Bottom body. That is, if the body is 1 time the size means the upper and lower shadow must be 1.5 times longer or more than the size of the body. For the bearish candle, the open price will be lesser than the close price.

Structure of Spinning Bottom Pattern

Now let’s see how the Spinning Bottom Pattern structure should be formed. 

Structure 1 – OHLC

This structure tells about the presence of buyers and sellers in the pattern. On the open price, the buyer pushed the price high price and then the sellers took control of the market and pushed to the low price, and again the buyers came in pushed a little up and closed above the open price. This structure forms like a Spinning Bottom in the higher timeframe.

So if this structure is formed inside the Spinning Bottom in the inner timeframe, the pattern has a strong possibility that it will work 80% and will give a buy signal as the market moves up. We have to check this structure in the inner timeframe of the Spinning Bottom.

This Structure shows more buying strength and the pattern forms at the low trend. So the market will definitely move upside. Then if you draw a trend line in the inner timeframe, you can analyze that the structure of this pattern will hit the resistance and support of the trend. At that support at a low price there will be a reversal pattern at the inner timeframe that pushes the market upside. Overall the analysis shows that the market will definitely move upside.

Structure 2 – OLHC

This structure forms like on the open price, the sellers pushed the price to the low price and then the buyers pushed to the high price, and again the sellers came in pushed a little down and closed above the open price. This structure forms like a Spinning Bottom in the higher timeframe. So this structure gives less possibility that it will work in the market.

Note: We have to analyze the Spinning Bottom pattern in the higher timeframe. So you can check this pattern structure in the inner timeframe analysis. Spinning Bottom pattern will be formed in all the time frames. It is necessary to check the pattern in a higher timeframe to analyze more and it gives more accuracy to trade.

Theory of Spinning Bottom Pattern

Now we will be analyzing how the market will perform in this pattern. And how to analyze and take trade with this pattern.

As you see in the above image the Spinning Bottom formed in the low trend. Before the pattern formed there was a downtrend. You can see that the market has full control over the seller and reached the low price. Then the seller came in and pushed the price down and again buyer pushed the price up and closed above the open price, thus forms like a Spinning Bottom. This pattern should be formed in a higher timeframe.

Then we can analyze this pattern in the inner timeframe to check for structure formation. If the structure is formed as we discussed above, we have a high possibility that this pattern will work in the market. So we can take a Buy Entry in the next running candle.
