Ascending Triangle Definition and Tactics Education

Australian Dollar/Japanese YenFXCM

Description

Hello my friend | Welcome Back.
Please support this idea with LIKE if you find it useful.
***

* The trendlines of a triangle need to run along at least two swing highs and two swing lows.

* Ascending triangles are considered a continuation pattern, as the price will typically breakout of the triangle in the price direction prevailing before the triangle. Although, this won't always occur. A breakout in any direction is noteworthy.

* A long trade is taken if the price breaks above the top of the pattern.

* A short trade is taken if the price breaks below the lower trendline.

* A stop loss is typically placed just outside the pattern on the opposite side from the breakout.

* A profit target is calculated by taking the height of the triangle, at its thickest point, and adding or subtracting that to/from the breakout point.

Thank you

Since the price already broke above the upper trendline during day-before-yesterday's 16:00 bullish candle, to what extent would that have confirmed the breakout eliminating any chance of a continuation of the downtrend??

@Akshay_Lonkar This is due to the support that is ascending

Like the inset drawing. Well done. Good example of how long it can take price action to work its way into a reversal. Rarely a V bottom.

@WadeYendall Yes, of course, but this pattern is always positive for the upside
