Correct me if I'm wrong but descending triangle usually break out on the downside doesn't they?

@nanovirtual2015, this one certainly did so
DaDude
@nanovirtual2015, No you're not wrong. a descending triangle can go up or down, it occurs in bull and bear market. it could have been a continuation pattern of price rising but it wasn't because BTC took a nosedive. Either way you are correct in that it is a very risky one as prices are hammered upon from above with lower highs. BTC was going up so I was hoping for a continuation of the bullish trend however BTC dropped hard.
