description Stock prices usually appear as a series of zigzag patterns that move in upward and downward trends. These zigzag patterns are learned as a tool for predicting the stock market turning points. Identification of these zigzag patterns is a challenge because they occur in multi-resolutions and are hidden in the stock prices. Furthermore, learning from these zigzag patterns for prediction of stock market turning points involves vagueness or imprecision.
