Triangle patterns are technical formations where price oscillates between converging trend lines, including ascending triangle, descending triangle and symmetrical triangle. These patterns usually signal imminent breakout, traders enter with trend when breakout occurs.
Ascending triangle: Horizontal resistance + rising support line, bullish pattern
Descending triangle: Horizontal support + falling resistance line, bearish pattern
Symmetrical triangle: Converging support/resistance lines, breakout direction uncertain
Volume: Volume decreases during pattern formation, increases on breakout
Breakout confirmation: Wait for price to effectively break triangle boundary
