Market Radar Pattern Family

Triangle Continuation Pattern

Triangle continuation patterns compress price between directional or converging boundaries while the prior trend remains relevant.

Pattern family page for ascending, descending, and symmetrical continuation triangles.

Scanner interpretation

Triangle continuation pages cover ascending, descending, and symmetrical compression structures. Market Radar does not infer direction from the label alone; it combines the shape with prior trend context and breakout behavior.

The best triangle candidates show multiple boundary interactions, contracting volatility, and a clear decision area before price leaves the structure.

  • Trend context before compression
  • Multiple boundary touches
  • Range contraction
  • Break and invalidation clarity

Quality model

Quality improves when compression remains clean, volume cools, and price respects both boundaries. Quality drops when the pattern becomes broad chop or breaks boundaries repeatedly without follow-through.

This keeps triangle pages aligned with scanner methodology rather than generic chart-pattern naming.

Detection Focus

  • Converging or directional boundaries
  • Trend context before compression
  • Multiple boundary touches
  • Range contraction

Quality Signals

  • Clean touch structure
  • Lower volatility into the apex
  • Volume contraction
  • Break level and invalidation clarity

Invalidation

  • Boundary failure
  • Range expansion
  • Loss of prior trend context
Market Radar treats pattern names as context-dependent watchlist candidates. Direction, trend context, compression quality, trigger clarity, and invalidation are evaluated together.
