Complex Pullback Setups
Pullback and complex pullback setups are associated with a trend (uptrend/downtrend). So as a first requirement a trend must be present in the chart.
Trend
A trend is nothing but a extension in the direction of the strength, a higher swing high, a pullback/retracement forming a higher swing low.
When does a trend reverse ?
lets consider we are in an uptrend, when the price breaks the swing low which leads to the highest swing high of the trend. Failure to break the swing low that leads to the highest high could simply indicate a complex pullback rather than a reversal.
When to expect a complex pullback ?
A failed simple pullback which does not reverse the trend can setup a possible complex pullback opportunity. The very basic form of complex pullback is 1-2-3 reversal pattern, but a much complex form of continuation is also possible.
What happens when a complex pullback fails ?
When complex pullback fails to break the swing high of the uptrend, price goes in to a sideways region where the boundaries are the swing high and the swing low that leads to the swing high of the trend.
Other patterns such as symmetrical, ascending, descending triangle formation also happens when the complex pullback stup fails.
