It is an old pattern like the world but who has taken on a certain fame after an author in the field of technical analysis like Joe Ross made him famous in his books based precisely on this technique. The hook is identified with several steps:

1. A consolidated rise to rise is sought

2. After a series of bullish bars, 1,2 or 3 bearish bars are looking for us

3. You position ourselves up when the maximum of the last bearish bar are exceeded

The more the time frame is the higher the pattern is powerful.

The more the slope of the rise referred to in point 1 is higher the pattern is powerful.

The less bars are in the pattern (max 3) plus the pattern is powerful.

We have selected among the different titles of Borsa Italiana those who in the weekly (Time Frame most powerful of the daily) show up of the upper hooks. There would be at least 20 more but let’s say that these are the most beautiful on liquid titles.

And the fact that there are several Uncini in Corso testifies how the rise still has breathless.
