Market Radar Pattern Variant
Ascending Triangle Continuation
An ascending triangle continuation candidate appears when price repeatedly tests resistance while higher lows show demand inside an existing bullish context.
Product methodology page for ascending triangle continuation candidates.
Ascending triangle context
An ascending triangle continuation candidate appears when resistance is tested repeatedly while pullbacks form higher lows. In bullish context, that can show demand pressing against a defined pivot area.
The scanner checks whether the prior trend or base is constructive before treating the pattern as a continuation candidate.
- Horizontal resistance
- Higher lows
- Constructive prior trend
- Breakout reference above resistance
What weakens the candidate
Loss of rising support, repeated heavy rejection at resistance, or a breakout that immediately fails into distribution reduces the score.
A clean ascending triangle should make both the trigger and invalidation level easy to explain.
Detection Focus
- Prior uptrend or constructive base
- Horizontal resistance
- Rising lows
- Breakout trigger above resistance
Quality Signals
- Tightening range
- Multiple resistance tests
- Demand visible on pullbacks
- Volume expansion near breakout
Invalidation
- Loss of rising support
- Repeated heavy rejection at resistance
- Failed breakout into distribution
Market Radar treats pattern names as context-dependent watchlist candidates. Direction, trend context, compression quality, trigger clarity, and invalidation are evaluated together.
