What Nifty made on 28th is called Island cluster reversal where an island is formed by several bars rather than one. These are even stronger signals compared to normal island reversals(Have a look at attached Chart.)Island bottoms — along with island tops — are rare… But when you are able to spot them, they have an amazing level of accuracy.
In a recent study, the island bottom was found to have a success rate of 85%, versus a failure rate of 13%. For island tops, the success rate was 77% versus a failure rate of 10%.
Island bottoms ( *Gaps below *Forms Base * gaps back up )
It's short term in nature.The measurement rule for island bottoms involves adding the formation size of the bottom of the pattern (In this case of Nifty approx 450 points). Here, a formation size of roughly 450 points add to the value at upper gap of the pattern gives a upside projection of 5750 the most probable outcome in the near-term ( 5300+450= 5750 approx)
Sucess: 85%
Failure:13%
Typical gain :34%
Island tops: (Reverse of the Bottoms)
Sucess: 77%
Failure:10%
Typical gain :21%
The mesurement rules are just reverse of the Bottoms
Hope this data is usefull for I charts Trader community.

Not sure Tushar! ( Am i right?)
I googled and collected information in bits and pieces not from one site.
How ever I will check that site.

hii
absolutely right and here is a link of that site
its a great site for pattern or chart formation recognition
http://thepatternsite.com
bulkowski is one of the most celebrated pattern traders and an eminent author about it too
(here u can find statistics too, like success percentage and failure percentage and how to automate ur terminal for pattern recognition... though i never understood it clearly)

As per Bulkowski's site referred by casper the success rate for Island bottom is 69% and Island top is 62%.And they were described as worst perfomance rank of any chart patterns.
So ball is in our court.
Contradictory assessments from different websites.So we can not take this pattern for guidance as of now .Let us rely on other factors.

Thanks SS
It looks like first Island top shown in your chart met target price approx.after 2 months

I am reposting Nifty chart posted by Shaadoo in which I was able to see w's ( double bottoms) and also double tops. Why is this phenomena coming up so often?!.
Is it just a combination of double bottom OR NVK and double tops in a down trend or anything else?!
Is there a method to catch them at tops and bottoms too?!.
I can see a double bottom forming at mid level between two Double bottoms formed at lower TL( It happened alternatively) where as all double tops formed at upper TL.
A red TL drawn by me for that middle double bottoms. If this pattern repeats there is a double top due and a double bottom in midrange i.e on red TL is also due.
I would like to examine Nifty chart break up for each year.
Is this phenomena limited to certain type of markets or is it present in all types of markets?!
Can some one explain it please.

hi rk
what u posted is an example of big W/big M theory
whereas nvk is a simple b grade divergence, there is no guarantee that during w or m formation, it will be always b grade div, simply bcoz what u call double top/bots are not exactly double tops/bots every time, so some time it will be a grade , and in some rare occasion it will be c grade too
and what i can make out is........ call it a divergence, be it a/b/c , its the generic name indeed
this w/m formation feature can be explained by various methods and can be traded also, but best way i have seen is using bollinger band to find such formations and carrying out trades as per BB's signals
its a method which is not so easy to describe through forum but if understood, can provide amazing results, specially in positional trades
u told me through "pm" that u have gone through/going through this thread from starting, then an ichartian, calling himself "vishytns" may not be unknown to u
if possible, try to contact him, he is a master of this method, otherwise, collect a copy of "bollinger on bollinger bands" book, its very nicely (and briefly) described there too

one point i forgot in morning
use ur cci 5 along with bb14, and train ur eyes to look at bb like M or W (the book will give u some idea about spotting of theW/M), almost every time, u will be bale to catch major swings at very nascent phase
