Bullish Pattern
Based on the 30-minute AUD/USD chart, a trend reversal occurs once the bullish alternate shark pattern (shown in pink) is completed.
The structure is finalized at point "D," forming the Potential Reversal Zone (PRZ). In this scenario, point "D" is a valid entry point for buy trades.

Bearish Pattern
According to the 1-hour Binance Coin (BNB) chart, the bearish alternate shark pattern (in dark blue) completes in a defined zone, triggering a downward price reaction.
The bearish shark pattern finalizes at point "D," marking the PRZ, which leads to increased selling pressure and a trend reversal.
