Notes on Triangle Patterns

Although not included in this list, triangle patterns (symmetrical, ascending, and descending) are equally significant. They can form during both uptrends and downtrends, signaling either a continuation or reversal depending on the breakout direction.

These formations require extra attention as the breakout direction is not always immediately apparent. Traders should prepare for either scenario by setting entry and exit orders on both sides of the triangle.
