Diamonds:

"Volume activity can help distinguish a diamond from an ordinary head-and-shoulders formation. The tendency might be to see a formation and interpret it as a diamond, when in reality it is only a head-and-shoulders pattern. This bias toward the diamond might be because an upsloping neckline would allow an earlier entry of the position and therefore more potential profit. A genuine diamond pattern is signified by a decrease in volume during the second half of the price pattern.

This volume pattern is similar to the one found in a standalone symmetrical triangle. When a diamond forms at a top, the following downmove is usually significant. A minimum expectation of the move can be estimated by measuring the distance in points at the widest part of the diamond. Prices usually move from the breakout
price to a low, giving a net change at least equal to this measurement, typically further."
