The ascending triangle formation is a trend continuation formation frequently used in technical analysis. This formation generally indicates that an upward trend will continue.
The formation refers to a chart where the top prices decline from a horizontal band and the bottom points show an upward trend. In an ascending triangle formation, prices test the resistance level several times, and the more times this resistance is tested, the weaker it becomes.
However, the support level gets stronger as it constantly finds support from higher up. This increases the strength of the formation and may be a sign that the rising trend will continue.
