SBR Scale in Bears
SBRB Strong Bear Bar, which means big bear body and close near low
SBRBO Small Bear Breakout, at least small second leg down is likely after 1-3 bar pullback (bounce). The bounce is attempt to reverse up

SBS Signal Bars
SBU Surprise Bar or Bars Up, so probably will get at least a small 2nd leg sideways to up
