Using triangles in Technical Analysis
Triangles are patterns formed by converging trend lines meeting at a single point, showing a narrowing trading range. There are three main types: ascending, descending, and symmetrical triangles. Triangles indicate the market's direction before a breakout and can be traded using indicators, support/resistance levels, and fibonacci retracements to place stops and take profits. While triangles often repeat and are useful patterns, some research has found "sleeping triangles" where the market moves sideways for an extended time without a clear breakout.

- 4. Facts about triangles •Triangles can be best described as horizontal trading patterns. • As the market continues to trade in a sideways pattern, the range of trading narrows, and the point of the triangle is formed. • The triangle shows losing interest in an issue, both from the buy side as well as the sell side: the supply line (support) diminishes to meet the demand.
- 5. Contd. • They havea tendency to repeat again and again. • Triangles indicates its direction before it give you a breakout.
- 6. Nature of Triangle •They consist of Trend Line Major Support/ Resistance • Volumes will be low before breakout; Volumes kick high after breakout. • Triangle speak its direction (Bullish/Bearish) • Price never touch the cardle/Apex.
