Market Radar Pattern Variant

Descending Triangle Continuation

A descending triangle continuation candidate appears when price repeatedly tests support while lower highs show supply inside bearish context.

Product methodology page for descending triangle continuation candidates.

Descending triangle context

A descending triangle continuation candidate appears when support is tested repeatedly while rallies form lower highs. In bearish context, that can show supply pressing price toward a breakdown area.

The scanner evaluates whether the prior trend is weak enough for the continuation interpretation to make sense.

  • Horizontal support
  • Lower highs
  • Bearish or weak prior context
  • Breakdown reference below support

What weakens the candidate

A reclaim of falling resistance, strong support rejection upward, or disappearance of the downtrend context weakens the bearish continuation read.

The method is still a watchlist framework, not a direct bearish call.

Detection Focus

  • Prior downtrend or weak structure
  • Horizontal support
  • Lower highs
  • Breakdown trigger below support

Quality Signals

  • Tightening range
  • Multiple support tests
  • Weak rebound attempts
  • Volume pressure near breakdown

Invalidation

  • Reclaim of falling resistance
  • Strong support rejection upward
  • Downtrend context disappears
Market Radar treats pattern names as context-dependent watchlist candidates. Direction, trend context, compression quality, trigger clarity, and invalidation are evaluated together.
