Chart Analysis and Chart Pattern Recognition – Descending Triangle Pattern

The descending triangle is a variation of a symmetrical triangle formation that has a flat support line and a falling resistance line. The lower highs indicate the decreasing demand and give the descending triangle definitive bearish bias. The descending triangle usually represents a distribution stage in bearish market. The descending triangle is considered as a continuation pattern, especially in a downtrend, but it may also mark a reversal in an uptrend. Volume usually increases on trend support resistance breakout. After breakout (similar to rectangle), support may turn into potential resistance and vice versa.

Tips:
# 1 As a continuation pattern, descending triangle usually appears within a young trend, characterized by neutral long-term indicators and oversold short-term indicators. Descending triangle resets short-term indicators to neutral and then continues the movement in parent's direction.
# 2 As a reversal formation, descending triangle appears in a mature uptrend, characterized by overbought long-term and short-term indicators. This situation usually generates bearish divergence on long-term indicators.
# 3 For the best results, chart patterns should be considered together with other technical analysis signals and technical trading techniques.
