Triangles are always a treat to find on the charts. This is because the pattern provides an entry signal that is clear and easy to execute.
In Elliott Wave Theory, a triangle pattern consists of 5 internal subwaves, ABCDE. When those subwaves are complete, a break of the triangle is expected in the direction of the trend that occurred prior to the triangle. In this case, we are expecting a thrust to the upside, now that wave (e) is potentially complete.
Triangles always come before the final move in the larger term wave sequence. In CADJPY, this means we are expecting one more wave to the upside before price corrects to the downside. The triangle pattern gives us everything we need to catch that final bull move. Price must remain above the invalidation level of 103.34 for this interpretation to remain valid.
At minimum, we expect a move to the previous highs. We are targeting the 108.00 handle as our initial profit target. There is a good reason for this too... comment below if you want to learn how Elliott Wave Theory can help you find high probability targets as well.
