With Symmetrical Triangles, Confirmation Comes Before Direction > Market briefings

[Category] Chart Patterns
[Original publication date] 2026-05-07

The symmetrical triangle formed by lower highs and higher lows is explained as a zone where buying and selling pressure are in balance. The formation itself carries no directional bias, so the actual boundary breakout and the follow-up confirmation are the key.

Key points to check
- Do not decide an up or down direction in advance from the converging shape alone.
- Look at the breakout location, volume, and whether the next candle holds, all together.
- Set the risk-reward and the invalidation criteria in advance to prepare for the pattern failing.
