Trading Triangle Chart Patterns

One of the most common chart patterns for trading that you should be aware of is the triangle pattern, which comes in three variations. These are significant trends for various reasons: they indicate a decline in uncertainty that could expand again in the future. Triangles offer analytic insight into current conditions as well as measures of possible future needs. The triangle pattern is also useful.

Understanding these three styles will help you build breakout or anticipation trading strategies while also allowing you to control your risk and position size.

All triangle forms will benefit from the breakout strategy. If the triangle is ascending, descending, or symmetrical, the procedure is the same. Breakout refers to a market condition in which prices shift above or below resistance levels. Traders use these breakouts as markers of potential opportunities.
When the price of an asset moves above the upper trendline of a triangle, the breakout strategy is to purchase, and when the price of an asset drops below the lower trendline of the triangle, the breakout strategy is to short sell (sell the asset until it reaches a lower price, hoping to repurchase it even lower).

Since each trader's trendlines are drawn slightly differently, the exact entry point can vary. Observing a rise in volume can help illustrate when the market is beginning to gain traction towards a breakout, which can help isolate when the price breaks out of the support or resistance ranges.
