Rounding Bottom

Bullish65% Win Rate~45 bars to target

A rounding bottom (also called a "saucer" or "rounding base") forms when a stock gradually transitions from a downtrend to an uptrend, forming a smooth U-shaped base. It reflects a slow shift in ownership from weak to strong hands.

How to Identify the Rounding Bottom

  1. 1Gradual, symmetrical U-shape forming over weeks or months (not sharp)
  2. 2Volume mirrors the price: high at the left rim, drying up at the bottom, increasing on the right side
  3. 3Right side volume builds before the breakout — accumulation signal
  4. 4Breakout above the left rim (prior high) on strong volume confirms entry

When to Trade It

Buy the breakout above the rim (prior high) on strong volume. Stop below the right side midpoint. Target: depth of the saucer added to the rim. Works best after extended downtrends — the longer the base, the bigger the move.

EdgeOS integration: look for SCTR above 9, bull count 1–4, and confirmed/fluid bull trend to align the pattern signal with the EdgeOS system for highest-conviction entries.
