How To Trade The Descending TriangleDraw line touching the lower highs which is the negative slope trend line. Draw horizontal level connecting equal highs. The horizontal level is a zero slope line.
Wait for a convincing close below the horizontal level.
This is a convincing close below the horizontal level. Draw the fib from the previous lower high touching the diagonal trend line. In this case, it is the the third lower high. The result is the 50% Fibonacci Retracement Level overlaps the Horizontal Level a little bit. That overlap is a confluence factor. Now wait for price to pull back to the 50% Retracement Level.
Price pulled back to the 50% Fibonacci Retracement Level, Horizontal Level, EMA 10 Level, and EMA 20 Level.
Set Measured Objective Target Using the Height of the Pattern.
Enter when the bear candles closes near 50% Fibonacci Retracement Level, Horizontal Level, EMA 10 Level, and EMA 20 Level. I would like to see a bearish price action signal at this level like a pin bar, rejection candlestick, or engulfing bar. This candlestick is not a engulfing bar on the 4H time frame, but it is still good enough for me to trade it. Price pulled back to the levels and produced a wick through the horizontal level. Price never closed above the horizontal level. If price closed above the horizontal level, then discard the trade idea.
Descending Triangle
$BCRX retrospective lookRetrospective look at $BCRX:
1. Gap down to lower low aligning with oversold signal on RSI (Blue Circle).
2. Continued downtrend forming Descending Triangle (Pink Dashed) following hypotenuse resistance line and flat support line.
3. Double bottom then forms (Green Box & Dotted Line and Orange Arrow) within the converging trendlines.
4. Simultaneous bullish signal on the RSI indicator (Blue Dotted Line).
5. Breakout over resistance trendline with large volume (Blue Volume Circle)
6. RR 1.2:1 take profit could have captured initial move (Long position).
Easier to spot now it's happened!
Hope this will add to my (and potentially others) knowledge/experience.
Any comments appreciated

$BEKE Descending TriangleAfternoon all, I'm trying to get into trading and would love some opinions.
I have been looking at the daily chart for $BEKE and believe we could be looking at a descending triangle (in Orange) for a potential short position.
Guess I would be looking for a breakout to the downside, either below the pattern support zone (orange) or potentially the LL (in Pink).
Not sure what take profit target would be or the potential effects of earnings, suppose you would use a risk-reward target?
Reservations on the trade would be the lack of correlation/support from other major indicators such as MACD/RSI/EMA.

Maker MKRUSDT - Head and Shoulders + Descending triangle- MKR is forming an head and shoulders - bearish pattern on the daily chart.
- On the weekly chart, we can spot also a huge descending / symmetrical triangle.
- The situation is not looking good for MKR at this moment as bears want the price to go lower.
- I think below 2100 are lots of stop losses and stop market orders are waiting to be triggered.
NKE Potential Double Top - What's Next?Description
NKE has now rejected the 175 level for the third time, now I am tracking this Descending Triangle consolidation pattern.
This could be a Double-Top pattern in the making, although the Double-Top is notoriously difficult to track, and nearly never confirmed until long after is has finished it's formation.
Evidence indicative of the usual Double Top:
Two tops at approximately the same level, but more than a month apart
Somewhat less activity on the second advance than the first
Dull or irregular, rounding-type of recession between them
It is noted that should a small H&S or descending triangle occur at the second top, long commitments should be protected with a tight stop, or switched to a more promising chart picture.
In NKE's chart,
we see two Tops at approximately the same level (within 3%), and approximately 3 months apart, which is a strong indication that this is not a normal congestion or consolidation pattern.
Slightly more activity can be seen on the second advance than the first, and there is distinctly low activity throughout the entire pattern.
The recession between the tops marks one of the only increases in activity in the entire pattern, taking place perfectly at the last known resistance around 145, and marked with a large gap down following the earnings report on 23SEP.
At the second peak, NKE is currently undergoing some type of consolidation that appears to be a descending triangle with irregular volume.
What, in picture, appears to be a "Descending Triangle" has highly irregular volume throughout and could potentially be portrayed as a Falling Wedge.
The Descending Triangle has bearish implications, while the Falling Wedge has bullish implications.
Although the volume displayed is not conducive to either formation, it could be explained by high volatility in the indexes.
With these things in mind, I believe the best position to put on is a 3-month Straddle.
The options market right now is implying about a 14% move in either direction in the next 3 months, so any expiration beyond 146 or 194 would be profitable in that time period, with the last potential support being at 143 for the downside, and all-time highs to the upside.
I, however, will be putting on a directional play based off of where I think the indexes are heading:
Long Put
Levels on Chart
SL > 175
PT : 150
*Stops based off underlying stock price, not mark to market loss
The Trade
BUY
01/07/22 155P
R/R & Breakevens vary on fill.
This put generates a good breakeven in advance of the 145 support if held until expiration.
If you would like me to build the Straddle or build a Strangle, just ask.
The Strangle will create a cheaper position, but push the breakevens further away from the current stock price.
As always, time will tell

Ethereum ETHBTC - Descending triangle + more drop coming!- Ethereum started to drop really hard past days and this trend should continue.
- Ethereum is still oversold compared to bitcoin, if you take a look at coinmarketcap.
- The chart is printing a descending trriangle, which is currently breaking down.
- Also the trendline is destroyed by the bears today!
- Bearish divergence (RSI) + pin bar on the monthy chart ETHBTC.
BTC constantly rejected by descending EMAsHello guys, as mentioned in previous posts, Im just a day trader showing my ideas, do not take this as financial advice, always do your own research (DYOR).
In previous ideas I talked about how BTC was struggling to get past the 48k resistance, suck in a range between 48k and 46k.
We expected some downturn, which we got, and we are now trading in the low side of that range at the border of 46k.
At the same time, we can see that the 600ema, 200ema, and 100ema are closing in, and we can see how price reacted with them in the past (Specifically how the 600ema rejects every attempt to break the downtrend), so we can safely say we are in a ranging downtrend, with the ceiling closing in.
Things are not looking bullish short term for the pair, and I expect the local support that spanned through 46.5k to 47.5k to turn into a local resistance. We can also see the formation of a descending triangle in the 5min and 15min charts, which would suggest a sharp turn to the downside after a few cycles (However BTC rarely follows candlestick patterns).
In my opinion, we're revisiting lows, either in a couple of hours or after ranging for a few days in this lower band (46.5k to 47.5k).
Im personally looking into entering a LONG position once we are clear of this range, which, more likely to the downside, at 42k.
Again, this is just an idea, DYOR.
Any feedback is apreciated.
Breakout or Breakdown?LINK is currently within a Falling Wedge (bullish) inside a massive Descending Triangle (bearish)--and both are converging on the same general point. Sellers are exhausted and supportive momentum appears to be building, but the Descending Triangle presents a lot of overhead resistance. My view is that the resistance will continue to suppress the price for 1-2 weeks before we see enough support to breakout. I'm considering averaging into a position here.

SHORT on GBP/CHFMajor Descending Triangle on the Higher timeframes for this pair.
I am simply trying to catch the falling momentum coming off the resistance trendline even though the best trade would be to wait until price breaks out of the triangle in whichever direction it decides to break out of.
Here is the play I am taking on this trade:
PAIR = GBP/CHF
ORDER TYPE = SELL STOP (PENDING ORDER)
LOT SIZE = Micro lot (0.01) (0.02)
ENTRY PRICE = 1.21967
STOP LOSS = 1.23701 - 173 PIPS / $17.30 LOSS
TAKE PROFIT = 1.17743 - 422 PIPS / $42.40 GAIN
Long on CAD/CHFPrice has broken above the resistance line of a descending triangle with a convincing bull candle.
Price is also coming from a major support zone, will nothing but space an opportunity for it go back up to the resistance area.
Here is the play I will be taking on this trade:
PAIR = CAD/CHF
ORDER TYPE = BUY NOW
LOT SIZE = Micro lot (0.01) (0.02)
ENTRY PRICE = 0.72170
STOP LOSS = 0.71903 - 40 PIPS / $4 LOSS
TAKE PROFIT = 0.73336 - 102 PIPS / $10 GAIN
BTC failed to breach 48k once againHello everyone, as mentioned in other ideas, I’m just a day trader looking to learn. Im in no ways an expert so please don’t take my ideas as financial advise. Always do your own research.
As I suggested in my first post, BTC attempted to breach 48k just before new year, formed a descending triangle and with options expiryng at 00:00 (With the max pain price at 48k) I expected a sharp down turn to the 46k support, which ended up playing out.
Then in my second idea, I noticed the 46k support was holding and I expected it to rise facing some resistance at 47k. I noticed it formed another descending triangle, and thought the pair would re-test de 46k but it broke to the upside and re-tested the 48k resistance.
Now after re-testing the 48k resistance, BTC is down to 47k and forming a new descending triangle, with the MACD in a bearish position and the RSI turning down. I expect the price to re-test the 46k resistance and, if the 46-45k resistance is broken I expect a sharp drop to at least 42k (A great place to enter a LONG position).
Personally Im waiting for the pair to reach lower prices (42k or lower) to enter a LONG position.
Again, this is just my view. I would love some feedback.
Cheers!
BTC facing resistance at 47kHello everyone, New Year’s update.
Following my two previous ideas, BTC attempted to break the 48k resistance but formed a descending triangle. With options expiring at midnight, the maximum pain price being 48k and the formation of a descending triangle, I expected the price to drop to the 46k resistance, which ended up playing out.
On my second idea, I noticed an attempt to break the 46k support, with a momentariy breakout. However support held and formed an ascending triangle, which suggested a rise to 47k, which played out.
Now the pair is facing resistance at the 47k level, and its forming a new descending triangle, suggesting a continuation of the downtrend from 48k to the 44k-42k strong daily support.
Personally I think this would be a good scenario, and a great oportunity to grab some fresh BTC at lower prices.
I doubt we can achieve new ATH with this uncertainty and low trading volumes.
Im just a day trader sharing my ideas, don’t take them as financial advice.
I just want to get some feedback and learn.
Cheers!
BTC facing resistance at 46.5k expecting to hit lower levelsHello everyone again, I'f fairly new at, just looking for feedback.
As seen in my previous idea, BTC was forming a descending triangle after an attempt to break the 48k resistance.
This with the options expiry at 00:00 I expected a breakout to the downside with very high volatility, which ended up happening and the pair quickly dropped to 46k.
Now the 46k level acted as support, after a failed breakout to 45.5k that lasted a few minutes.
Now the pair is hovering between the 45.5k and 46.5k levels, forming an ascending triangle this time, which can bring it up to 47k where there is more local resistance.
However, trading volumes are descending, and after 00:00 (Expiry) I expect the pair to descend further.
Personally I'm waiting to enter a long position at the 42k level where strong daily support can be found.
Again, Im just looking for some feedback.
Do your own research.
Cheers!
DOGE Descending Triangle PatternDogecoin is consolidating in a tight range as price nears the apex of a descending triangle pattern. Price is also below all moving averages with all averages in a bearish cross. Lower indicators all show bearish trend and momentum behind price. Watch for a break above triangle for new rally, a break below triangle for more losses.
