The brilliant graphical price pattern serves for existing trend reversal confirmation in case of its occurrence on the chart. Traditionally it appears in an uptrend.
Formation

Interpretation of Forex Diamond
As soon as a support line at the right is violated (plus a certain deviation is possible), it can be interpreted as change in direction of the trend downwards and serves as a sell signal.

T = BP – H, Where:T – target level;
BP – right support breakthrough point;
H – pattern’s height (distance between pattern’s bottom and top).
