Whipsaw

It is a state at which the price of the security aims in one direction but then is quickly moving in the opposite direction. The whipsaw patterns involve different movements in prices as an ascending movement that then leads to a violent downward move. This type of whipsaw pattern is a cause of falling of the positions of the shares’ prices to the original positions. And the second type entails the price of the share that falls not for a long time and then suddenly the price sharply surges up towards the gains of positive results to the securities’ original position.
