Many people learn about triangles, only remembering
"Buy when breaking up, sell when breaking down"
But what's truly useful is this sentence:
A triangle doesn't predict direction—it compresses positions and waits for the main players to show their hand
1. Symmetrical Triangle | Direction undecided, wait for the "final cut"
Highs are decreasing, lows are increasing
Price range is narrowing
Volatility and volume are gradually compressed
What are the main players doing?
Washing out positions, changing hands, testing market patience
Both bulls and bears are trapped inside
2. Ascending Triangle | Bullish control structure
Highs remain flat (resistance fixed)
Lows are progressively higher
Buying pressure is increasing
Main player logic
Selling pressure is fixed
But buying support is getting stronger
Time is on the bulls' side
3. Descending Triangle | Bearish dominance structure
Lows remain flat (support fixed)
Highs are progressively lower
Reactions are getting weaker
Main player logic
Someone is holding the support
But sellers keep dumping from above
Once broken, it drops quickly
4. Expanding Triangle | Emotional market, don't be a good boy
Highs keep rising
Lows keep falling
Volatility keeps increasing
What kind of market is this?
Emotional market
Bulls and bears are fighting wildly
The main players are "harvesting emotions"
Three key points to always remember about triangles
1. The closer to the end, the more likely a direction will emerge
2. Breakouts should be judged by structure, not just a single candle
3. A pullback confirmation is worth more than the first breakout
Triangles aren't for betting on direction
They're for waiting to see "who can't hold"
You only need to do one thing
Wait for the market to choose sides on its own
