🤔 What About Triangle Patterns?

You may notice we haven’t included symmetrical, ascending, or descending triangles in this list. That’s because triangle patterns are versatile—they can appear in both uptrends and downtrends and may signal either a reversal or continuation, depending on the breakout direction.

That’s why practice and confirmation are key. Be prepared with your stop loss and entry orders no matter which way the market breaks.
