Symmetrical Triangle

NASDAQ:AVID   Avid Technology Inc.
A symmetrical triangle can break to the upside or the downside. It is a neutral pattern until the top or bottom trendline is broken with conviction. It is a pattern of consolidation and continuation.

Price moves between 2 converging trendlines. Since price is being "squeezed" in to the apex of the triangle, it should eventually break one way or the other. The first touch is labeled on the top trendline as price came from below to form the structure. Had price fallen in to the structure, I would label touch 1 on the bottom trendline. You need at least 3 touches on one trendline and 2 to the other. The fifth touch sometimes is the sweet spot, but sometimes now and price can stay inside for extended periods of time.

This triangle does have a partial rise after touch 2. Usually volume trends downward during formation. Triangles with heavy break out volume do better.
