Symmetric Triangle is a chart pattern characterized by progressively lower highs and progressively higher lows, with two trendlines converging at equal angles. This pattern typically serves as a trend continuation signal. The formation of a symmetric triangle indicates that market volatility has been compressed over a period of time, suggesting an imminent reversal point.
Technical Characteristics of the "Symmetric Triangle" Pattern
- A clear trend must exist before the triangle forms to determine the subsequent continuation direction - Minimum 4 touches: dynamic support line (ascending) 2 times, dynamic resistance line (descending) 2 times. The more touches, the higher the pattern's reliability - As price converges, trading volume should gradually decrease - While symmetric triangles typically break in the direction of the trend, occasional false breakouts in the opposite direction may occur. For safer trading, it is recommended to wait for a pullback confirmation at the breakout area (upper or lower boundary)
