Abstract Text We reconsider the technical analysis using the image recognition method, exploring asset price behavior after some popular technical patterns. Comparing the results from the image recognition model to the rule-based method with time series, we find that the image recognition model can detect much more patterns than the rule-based one. In the event study, we show there are significant cumulative abnormal returns after most of these technical patterns with various holding periods. We construct a portfolio based on these patterns and show this trading strategy can achieve significant excess returns and high Sharpe ratio. This result is robust and cannot be captured by the Fama-French factors.
