The triangle pattern is considered to be a continuation chart pattern which means that the prior trend will continue after the formation of this chart pattern.

The formation of a triangle pattern includes at least five touches of support and resistance. It involves prices moving in the tighter and tighter range in a triangle pattern which shows the battle between the bears and bulls.

The triangle pattern is mainly of three types- symmetrical pattern, ascending triangle, and descending triangles.

What is the Ascending Triangle?

The ascending triangle is formed in an uptrend and indicates a continuation of the uptrend. It is formed as a right-angled triangle with resistance and a slope of higher lows. The resistance does not allow the prices of the securities to move upward.

The higher lows show that the buying pressure has increased. This pattern clearly indicates that the market moves higher as the higher lows are formed heading toward the resistance line.

This indicates the strength of bulls and bulls are willing to pay more for the stock.

The breakout of the prices is confirmed when the prices break from the resistance level with volume and continue to move upwards.

What is the Descending Triangle?

The descending triangle is formed in the downtrend and indicates the continuation of the downtrend. It is formed as a downward-sloping triangle with support and a slope of lower highs.

The support does not allow the prices of the securities to move downward. The lower highs show that the selling pressure has increased. This pattern clearly indicates that the market moving lower as the lower highs are formed heading toward the support line.

This indicates the strength of bears and they are willing to sell more for the stock. The breakout of the prices is confirmed when the prices break from the support level with volume and continue to move down.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

What is descending and ascending triangle pattern?

The triangles that are rising and descending are continuation patterns. A horizontal lower trend line and a descending upper trend line define the descending triangle. On the highs and lows of the ascending triangle, respectively, there is a horizontal trend line.

What is the descending triangle?

A notable technical analysis pattern that denotes a negative market is the falling triangle. It develops as a continuation pattern during a downturn and is distinguished by a horizontal line at the bottom created by comparable lows and a descending trend line at the top created by declining peaks.

Is descending triangle bullish or bearish?

A bearish configuration that appears in both uptrends and downtrends is a descending or falling triangle. Thus, if it appears during an uptrend or a downtrend, it denotes a trend reversal, respectively.

What is the difference between ascending and descending triangle stocks?

A price break through a barrier level in an ascending triangle denotes a bullish outlook, whereas a price break through a support level in a descending triangle denotes a bearish outlook. These patterns can be used by traders to pinpoint probable entry and exit locations for lucrative transactions.
