pattern height

How tall a chart shape is, from its top to its bottom, used to guess how far price might go next.

The fuller meaning

The vertical size of a pattern: peaks to neckline for a double top, head to neckline for head and shoulders, the widest part of a triangle. Projected from the break point it gives a measured-move target, a guide rather than a promise.

pattern height, also called pattern's height.
