Chart Setups

When buying an ETF moving from base to trend, we have 3 base patterns to buy from:

• 1️⃣Bottoming Base
• 2️⃣The Double Bottom, Trendline and Pivot (DTP)
• 3️⃣Break Out with Pivot (BOWP) (including volatility contraction VCP)

In theory we should see each of these base patterns as an ETF moves from base to trend, our job is to find the best risk adjusted entry, with the greatest chance of success.

The bottoming base is the earliest entry point to buy an emerging uptrend (lowest success rate).

• Real Example: HACK ETF in February to May 2026

The Double Bottom Trendline and Pivot (DTP) is used as a secondary entry and is particularly useful after market corrections, with the best ETFs moving out first.

• Real Example: IKO South Korea ETF in November / December 2025

• IKO ran over 50% in just 60 days from this setup:

The Breakout with Pivot (BOwP) is the cleanest chart pattern from which to buy from, particularly if it is also features a Volatility Contraction Pattern (VCP) in the base.

• Real Example: XMET ETF in March to July 2025

• XMET ran over 120% in just 211 days from this setup:
