Rectangle channel patterns consist of two parallel trendlines
bounding the price-action having multiple pivot
points forming at equal highs and equal lows. As price
approaches the lower trendline, bullish sentiment sets to
push the price up towards the upper trendline, and when
the price reaches the upper trendline, bearish sentiment
tends to push the price down towards the lower trendline,
thus creating a tug-of-war. Each of these thrusts must
form at least two key pivot points on the upper and lower
trendlines to create a rectangle channel. This bounded
range becomes a consolidation area, where traders are
indecisive and may not take trend-based trades.
