Volume-backed breakout
BullishA heavy-volume tall bullish candle off the bottom, a quiet low-volume climb, then another volume burst as price closes above the line — a breakout considered valid
Textbook shape
How to read it
A heavy-volume surge bar near the base, a quiet climb to a resistance line, then a close through the line on heavy volume again. The base explosion records that someone bought big; breakout volume confirms they're still there.
It only exists relative to a line — detected on the channel rungs and trendlines SQMATE draws. A breakout without volume doesn't qualify.

A window SQMATE's detectors actually flagged in past bars. It records a day that worked out — the same shape doesn't always resolve the same way.

No more eyeballing charts
You don't have to flip through charts hunting for shapes. Signal watch pings your browser the moment a condition is met, patterns on your watchlist arrive by email, and the screener lists every symbol that matched today.
SQMATE draws the lines
This signal only exists relative to a line — without knowing where support sits, you can't tell it was retested. SQMATE draws that line for you and detects the touch.
Patterns aren't the whole story
The same shape doesn't always resolve the same way. It's safer to read it together with candles, volume, and market context — news, catalysts, flows.
