📖 What an ascending triangle is

Price keeps stalling at almost exactly the same high, but each pullback ends higher than the last. Drawing a horizontal line across the highs and a rising line under the lows gives a wedge that narrows to the right.

Why it forms

One block of supply sits at a fixed price. Buyers absorb it in waves and, because each wave starts from a higher low, they are willing to pay more each time. When the supply is finally used up, there is nothing above it.

🎯 Trigger

A daily close above the flat resistance line, ideally on volume well above its recent average.

📏 Target

Measure the height of the triangle at its widest point and project that distance up from the breakout level.

🛑 Invalidation

A close back below the rising support line. Once the floor breaks, the pattern is void — the rising lows were the whole argument.

Forming
APLLTD ascending triangle pattern on daily candles, with the pattern boundaries and breakout level drawn
The shaded band is the formation. On tops and bottoms the indigo line traces the shape itself — up into the left shoulder, over the head, and away from the right — and the dashed line is the neckline it has to break; on triangles, wedges and channels the two solid boundaries are the pattern. Triangle markers are the swing highs and lows those lines were fitted through, and the dash-dot line is the measured-move target once the pattern has broken.
❓ Ascending Triangle FAQ
Is an ascending triangle bullish or bearish?
Bullish in most cases. It shows demand rising into fixed supply, and it resolves upward more often than downward. It is not a guarantee: an ascending triangle that breaks downward tends to fall quickly, because the rising lows leave no support underneath.
How long should an ascending triangle take to break out?
Most resolve within the last third of the pattern, before the lines actually meet. A triangle that drifts all the way to the apex without breaking has usually lost the momentum that made it worth watching.
What confirms an ascending triangle breakout?
A close beyond the flat resistance rather than an intraday poke, expanding volume on the breakout bar, and price holding above the old resistance if it comes back to retest it.

How these are found: swing highs and lows are picked out with a percentage ZigZag on daily and weekly candles, and the boundaries are line-fitted through those swings. A formation is only published when the fit is tight, the boundaries are actually touched several times, and the price action stays inside them. The most recent swing is provisional, so a forming pattern can still change shape on the next candle, and patterns whose break already played out are dropped rather than shown as fresh.
