Chart patterns

Ascending triangle

An ascending triangle is an often bullish pattern: a flat resistance tested repeatedly, with higher lows squeezing price upward.

Price hits the same flat resistance several times, but each low is higher than the last. Buyers step in earlier each time: pressure builds under the resistance.

The signal confirms when price breaks above the resistance, often on volume. It is usually a continuation of the uptrend.

Example

Price tests $30 three times, with lows at $26, $27, $28. A break above $30 triggers the pattern.
