//~ Another one-day pattern is the “inside bar” -- the high is below the previous high, and the low is
//~ above the previous low. These tend to occur in quieter periods of price consolidation and are sometimes associated
//~ with symmetrical triangles when no compelling force has yet been identified that will take the market in either direction.
