Andrews’ Pitchfork (Bullish)

A technical analysis line study developed by Dr Alan Andrews. The Pitchfork is drawn by selecting three consecutive points on the chart. The first point is a major bottom (A), the second point is a major top (B) whereas the third point is a major bottom (C). The first line (Median Line) is drawn from point A passing through the middle of the line connecting points B and C. The second and third lines (Upper Parallel Line and Lower Parallel Line) are drawn parallel to the Median Line, starting from points B and C respectively. The first line (Median Line) is drawn from point A passing through the middle of the line connecting points B and C. The second and third lines (Upper Parallel Line and Lower Parallel Line) are drawn parallel to the Median Line, starting from points B and C respectively. Dr Andrews believed that 80% of the time the price returned to the Median Line. The Upper and Lower Parallel Lines act as support and resistance areas.
