The Geometry of Price: Structural Analysis Protocol

An exact, step-by-step diagnostic framework for drawing multi-touch trendlines, projecting parallel channel corridors, and filtering false breakouts with institutional precision.

STAGE 01 Pivot Identification

The Three-Touch Anchor Rule

A diagonal line drawn between two points is merely a hypothesis. To earn the status of an active structural trendline, the trajectory must be tested and confirmed by a third independent swing cycle.

  • Point A & B: Establish the preliminary angle of ascent or descent from major multi-day swing pivots.
  • Point C (The Validator): Price must react against the projected trajectory with an immediate candle reversal pattern.
  • Micro-Wick Disqualification: Clustered candle wicks within the same consolidation zone are counted as a single touch.

STAGE 02 Corridor Geometry

Equidistant Channel & Median Line Physics

When price travels inside an ascending or descending corridor, the 50% median line acts as the internal gravitational center.

  • Upper & Lower Rails: Derived by cloning the validated base trendline and anchoring through the opposing swing extreme.
  • Median Line Support/Resistance Flip: When price holds above the median line, bullish momentum remains dominant.
  • Channel Overshoot Climax: Violent extensions beyond the outer boundary without consolidation signify buyer exhaustion.
STAGE 03 Breakout Verification

The Break-and-Retest Confirmation Filter

Over 70% of premature breakout trades fail due to wick traps. We require triple verification before confirming that a trendline has been definitively broken.

  • Candle-Body Close: The full candle body must close beyond the diagonal line on the reference execution timeframe.
  • Volume-Spread Expansion: Breakout candles must display above-average true range (ATR) and volume commitment.
  • Structural Retest: Price returns to test the backside of the broken line, creating a high-probability swing low/high.
