Symmetrical Triangle

Bilateral54% Win Rate~15 bars to target

A symmetrical triangle has converging trendlines with lower highs and higher lows. It signals indecision and compressing volatility — a major move is imminent but direction is unresolved until the breakout.

How to Identify the Symmetrical Triangle

  1. 1Lower highs (descending upper trendline) and higher lows (rising lower trendline)
  2. 2At least two touches on each trendline for confirmation
  3. 3Volume contracts through the pattern
  4. 4Trade the breakout direction with volume confirmation — do not anticipate

When to Trade It

Wait for a confirmed breakout above or below the triangle with volume. Enter on the breakout bar or the first pullback to the broken trendline. Stop inside the triangle.
