📚Trading Lesson. Triangle Types & How to Read Them📚

Jun 21, 2021

Triangle is a classic price action pattern that is applied by technical analysts to make predictions trading different financial markets.

Depending on the shape of the triangle, there are three main variations of this pattern.
Its meaning changes dramatically from one to another so it is crucially important for you to know the difference.

👉 The symmetrical triangle is determined by two contracting trend lines.
The pattern is considered to be indecisive meaning that while the market is stuck within, the directional bias is unknown.

Only the breakout of a boundary of a triangle clarifies the future direction.

👉 In contrast, the ascending triangle (also called a bullish accumulation) is a classic example of a bullish biased pattern.
With a horizontal trend line serving as resistance and a rising trend line service as support, the market is accumulating volumes for a bullish breakout.

Once the horizontal resistance is broken, bullish continuation follows.

👉 The descending triangle is a bearish biased pattern. Also called a bearish accumulation, the pattern indicates the preparation of the market participants to set a new low after consolidation and contraction within a triangle.

Once the horizontal support is broken, bearish continuation follows.
