Symmetrical Triangle

COST WCA - Awaiting a Breakout from SymmetryCompany: Costco Wholesale Corporation Ticker: COST Exchange: NASDAQ Sector: Consumer Defensive Introduction: Greetings and thank you for taking the time to read my analysis. Today, we delve into the weekly chart of Costco Wholesale Corporation (COST) which has been forming a symmetrical triangle pattern for the past 12.88 months. This pattern is typically a sign of market indecision, and we're anticipating a breakout soon. Symmetrical Triangle Pattern: A symmetrical triangle is a chart pattern in technical analysis used by traders to predict future price movements. It is formed when the price of an asset consolidates between converging trendlines that slope towards each other, creating a triangular shape. The pattern is characterized by lower highs and higher lows, indicating a tightening price range as the market reaches a point of equilibrium between buying and selling pressure. In this case, we have 5 clear touch points on the upper trendline and 3 on the lower trendline. Analysis: Costco's price is currently above the 200 EMA, and given the clear uptrend preceding the triangle, we are inclined to see this symmetrical triangle as a bullish continuation pattern. However, the inherent indecision signaled by the symmetrical triangle means we should hold off on calculating a price target until a definite breakout occurs. Moreover, a breakout must occur soon, as the closer we get to the triangle's apex, the weaker the effect of the breakout. This makes COST a high-priority watchlist candidate that should produce a result soon, regardless of the direction it takes. Conclusion: The Costco Wholesale Corporation weekly chart analysis points towards a symmetrical triangle pattern, indicating market indecision and a potential breakout soon. Traders should closely monitor this chart for signs of a breakout. Remember, this analysis is not financial advice. Always conduct your own research when investing and consider risk management and proper position sizing when trading based on chart patterns.

BTC QUICK UPDATE!Hello everyone, if you like the idea, do not forget to support it with a like and follow. Welcome to this quick BTC update. BTC is moving in a range of FWB:27K -$30k for many days. So what's next from here? BTC is forming a symmetrical triangle-like structure in the daily time frame and once again it got rejected from the upper trendline of the triangle. We have two important supports below. One is at around FWB:27K and another one is at around FWB:25K level. IMO BTC holds the first support of FWB:27K and we might see a quick bounce from there. For a bullish scenario, we need a clear breakout of this triangle. As of now let's see how the price reacts after reaching the FWB:27K level. Invalidation:- Daily close below FWB:27K If you like this idea then do support it with like and follow. Also, share your views in the comment section. Thank YOu!

🚩Symmetrical Triangle🚩 #️⃣OKXIDEAS !!!👨‍🏫Hello, everyone!👋 (Reading time less than 7 minutes⏰). I’m here with another educational post to help you learners become super traders gradually. 🔅 As you know, various tools are usually used in any financial market to analyze all types of stocks, cryptocurrencies, and assets. Chart patterns are one of the essential tools used in technical analysis, and analysts evaluate the market movement and prepare to trade based on technical-fundamental studies. 🔅 The Symmetrical Triangle is one of the most used classic continuous patterns in the field, but it can sometimes turn into reversal patterns, as some analysts say. 🔷 So I’ll explain the following in this article: Defining the triangle pattern Getting to know the structure of a Symmetrical Triangle Types of Symmetrical Triangles How to trade using the Symmetrical Triangle pattern Price target after Symmetrical Triangle pattern The importance of trading volume in the Symmetrical Triangle pattern --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Triangle Pattern: 🔅The triangle pattern is one of the most well-known patterns many traders spend time on. A triangle is a trend continuation pattern that can occur in upward or downward trends. This triangle pattern is formed when a stock, cryptocurrency, or whatever shrinks towards an uptrend or downtrend. The pattern represents a pause in the price trend, and the price consolidates in a range. 🔅 The triangle pattern consists of two converging lines with different slopes depending on the type. At least four major pivots are needed in the specific time frame to form a triangle pattern. Basically, to form a triangle, 45 to 60 candles are needed in the specific time frame. 🔅 The take-profit of this pattern is considered the distance from the first top to the first bottom inside the triangle. 🔷 According to research, 84% agree that the triangle pattern is a continuation pattern that is divided into three types as follows: Symmetrical triangle Ascending Triangle Descending Triangle --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- One of the types of triangles that can lead you to money is Symmetrical Triangle which I’ll explain here: Symmetrical Triangle Pattern in Upward Trends: Take a look at the picture below. You can see the price forms tops and bottoms after an upward trend and then forms lower tops and higher bottoms. 🔅 Now try to draw a resistance line at the top and a support line at the bottom. What do you see? Yeah! That’s a triangle. These two lines will make a tip called the triangle's apex. If the four pivots(at least), two tops and two bottoms, are connected with a line, you can say a Symmetrical Triangle pattern in an upward trend has occurred. 🔅 It’s noted that if the price breaks the support trend line and drops, you’ll see this as a reversal pattern or a Symmetrical Triangle in the downward trend. Not always; a Symmetrical Triangle is a continuous pattern. So Watch out! Here’s a picture of a reversal Symmetrical Triangle and how to trade while it is considered a reversal. How to trade on the Symmetrical Triangle in an upward trend: 1-After the pattern completes, you must wait for the pattern to give us the entry confirmation(the upper line of the Symmetrical Triangle). 2-Try to open a long position when the real breakout happens. That can make a good profit. The real breakout occurs when a green candle like the Marubozu candle closes above the upper line of the Symmetrical Triangle or the resistance line. 3-Don’t forget to put a stop-loss. That will be below the breakout candle or below the prior candle’s bottom. The distance between the first top and the first bottom in the triangle would be one of high risk-to-reward ratio take-profit points. The other way to take the profit is to draw a line from the first top facing the support trend line along. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symmetrical Triangle Pattern in Downward Trends 🔅 Another trend that a Symmetrical Triangle can move is downward trend when the price continues downward after forming the pattern. 🔅 Luckily, one of the best tools that can help you earn lots of money is the Symmetrical Triangle because it supports two-sided markets. But the question is how this type of triangle forms. Stay with me. 🔅 Imagine you’re walking through the bushes for a long time, then you’ll get tired, and you don’t feel energetic in your feet to move on. So do buyers and sellers in the financial markets. 🔅 When the price of an asset enters a converging trend of lower tops and higher bottoms, buyers and sellers test how strong the trend is. The buyers make bottoms at a higher price as sellers prevent the creation of a higher top. 🔅 In this case, the sellers are mostly winners, so better to be a seller rather than a buyer. Like the pattern I already discussed, the Symmetrical Triangle pattern in a downward trend needs at least four significant pivots to be confirmed. 🔅 There's also a possibility of breaking the upper line of the Symmetrical Triangle on the top after the Symmetrical Triangle pattern formation. The reversal pattern has occurred in this case, and the long position is considered a plan. How to trade on the Symmetrical Triangle in a downward trend: 1-You have to wait for the candles to break the lower line of the Symmetrical Triangle. But the only key point is that if the breakout is valid. So if the breakout candle closes below the lower line of the Symmetrical Triangle, it’s time to open a short position. 2-The stop-loss will be above the last top. Therefore, in case of opening a short position on an asset, you can also place your stop-loss above the breakout candle for a higher risk-to-reward ratio. 3-The price targets will be 1) the distance between the first bottom and the first top, or 2) you can draw a line from the first bottom facing the resistance line. 🔷 Below, you can see a Symmetrical Triangle in a downward trend and how you can trade with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Importance of Trading Volume in the Symmetrical Triangle Pattern 🔅 The asset chart is in correction as long as the price chart is inside the Symmetrical Triangle pattern. 🔅 The trading volume in the pattern process will be neutral as most traders are waiting for the follow-up movement of the asset. 🔅 The closer the chart gets to the apex of the triangle to depart from the pattern, the range of fluctuations and the trading volume become less and less. 🔅 The importance of trading volume in the Symmetrical Triangle pattern can be seen near the exit from the pattern. 🔅 If the previous trend of the chart was bullish, it is likely that the trading volume will increase dramatically if the pattern is broken. 🔅 Also, the trading volume will decrease near the triangle's apex, but it increases instantly after breaking out, whether it is an upward or downward trend. 🔅 For this purpose, examining the trading volume in different areas of the pattern can greatly help us better understand the trend and predict the future of the asset. 🔅 In a way, you always have to wait for the chart to go out of the pattern, and by checking the direction of the trend and trading volume, you can make a better decision about buying or selling your currencies. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Symmetrical Triangle in Elliott Theory The Symmetrical Triangle called the “Contracting Triangle,” is a basic pattern in Elliott Waves. Elliott triangles can be considered one of the stable consolidation patterns in the market, which can be divided into five waves. To return, each of these five waves carries three sub-waves. The waves of the triangle are named A, B, C, D, and E. The Symmetrical Triangle can often be seen as a continuation pattern that creates a pause in the trend and then resumes. In this pattern, wave A, which is the biggest wave in the pattern, can be a zigzag, double zigzag, triple zigzag, or a flat pattern, and wave B can only be a zigzag, double zigzag, or triple zigzag. Waves D and C can also move in their pattern by a zigzag pattern, and finally, an E wave is formed, which can be a zigzag, double zigzag, triple zigzag, and sometimes a triangle. In a Symmetrical Triangle, waves B, C, and D often cover 61.8% of the previous wave. Finally, by drawing this pattern's up-and-down trend lines, the lines get close to each other and cannot be parallel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conclusion: 🔔 In this article, you learned about the Symmetrical Triangle and how to trade using the pattern. You now know where to enter and exit the market to make a suitable profit. Don’t forget to follow your capital management to lower the trading risks.

Bitcoin + Comment Your Altcoin!Below this idea, I will give you my opinion/analysis of your altcoin. Make sure you hit the boost button and comment your altcoin below the idea to participate. I will do an analysis on the weekly/daily chart (long term). I start my analysis with Bitcoin: Bitcoin is currently rising, but in my opinion, there will be one last flash crash below the 16k level to wipe out all leverage traders. There are tons of liquidity and stop losses to be gained. In this corrective wave, bitcoin could hit 30k - 39k, both targets are very arguable, so I am currently bullish in the short-term. I am waiting patiently for the flash crash to buy cheap Bitcoin, and of course I want to ride the huge bull market to a new all-time high. This analysis is not a trade setup; there is no stop-loss, entry point, profit target, expected duration of the trade, risk-to-reward ratio, or timing. I post trade setups privately. As per my Elliott Wave analysis, we are in the final C impulse wave (ZigZag 5-3-5). ZigZags are often very impulsive, which is true in this case. Also, do not forget that we have an unfilled GAP on CME futures at 20k. Statistically, all gaps were at least partially filled. This gap is completely unfilled, so make sure you understand that you are going against 100% historical probability and performance if you are fully long on Bitcoin. My favorite altcoins are now Waves and Floki. Do not forget to write your altcoin in the comment section for my analysis/opinion + hit the boost button to participate! Thank you, and I wish you fun during your trades.

Bitcoin in symmetrical triangleHello Fellow Traders Greetings from team trading the tides ! lets discuss bitcoin which is inside a Symmetrical triangle , volume is pretty low waiting for the break out to enter position for long or short but I am more interested to wait till it reaches 31-32 k level which is a major resistance area and a good distribution point if we see the history . potential area to initiate short : 31-32 k levels according to the market conditions 22 k level is also very likely because there's a cme gap and btc inflows from wallets to exchanges are rising ! happy trading !

SPY's Triangle Reflects the Chop, but Battle Lines ConvergePrimary Chart : 195m chart of major US index, the S&P 500 represented by the SPDR® S&P 500® ETF Trust, with symmetrical triangle pattern and anchored VWAPs SquishTrade has posted fewer analyses lately as markets have been quite uncertain and choppy. When there is less certainty in the analysis, there should be less to say. And prudence dictates avoiding confusion by creating analyses and forecasts when trends are unclear and markets remain choppy. This post will not present a directional view given the high level of choppiness and uncertainty. Instead, it will show where the battle lines, so to speak, are drawn. The market may deign to inform us where the next trend move will be when key levels begin to break. And sometimes, markets will not inform us until after a few false moves—in other words, lies come before the truth perhaps. Indeed, this market has been difficult to trust even for directional moves under one or two days' time. First, the smaller triangle within the larger triangle will likely break even if a false break comes before the real one. This may coincide with price breaking to the other side of key anchored VWAPs shown as well. This may signal whether the upper or lower trendline of the larger symmetrical triangle will be tagged next. But until the upper or lower trendlines of the triangle are broken decisively, i.e., not a false break, the trend may remain unclear. Rate volatility has perhaps exacerbated the uncertainty in equity markets to an even greater degree as rates on the shorter end of the curve have whipsawed dramatically, e.g., 2-year note and yield both whipsawing along with Fed Funds rate futures and other interest-rate products and instruments like the Eurodollar futures. Here are the key points to watch in the coming weeks: The longer-term symmetrical-triangle pattern shown on the Primary Chart The smaller triangle within the larger symmetrical triangle, shown on Supplementary Chart A below Supplementary Chart A The key anchored VWAPs, Supplementary Chart B, that are converging and compressing similar to the very nature of the larger triangle's own converging trendlines, though VWAPs are more fluid and curvy Supplementary Chart B The POC on a daily chart has remained around 395-396 for quite some time (not shown), and this remains a key pivot for SPY The POC on a weekly chart has remained around 393.70-394.90 for quite some time (not shown), reinforcing the key pivot on the daily at 395 Several Anchored VWAPs and Fibonacci levels all coalesce around 390 (ranging from 389-392); a key gamma level on PSY also lies here. ________________________________________ Author's Comment: Thank you for reviewing this post and considering its charts and analysis.

This technical-analysis viewpoint could change at a moment's notice should price move beyond a level of invalidation. Further, proper risk-management techniques are vital to trading success. And countertrend or mean-reversion trading, e.g., trading a rally in a bear market, is lower probability and is tricky and challenging even for the most experienced traders.
