Frequently asked questions

Which way does a symmetrical triangle break?

Most often in the direction of the trend that led into it, which is why it is usually treated as a continuation pattern. But it is genuinely two-sided, and trading it before the break is guessing.

What does a symmetrical triangle mean?

It means volatility is contracting and neither side is in control. It is a compression signal more than a direction signal — useful because compression is usually followed by expansion.

Is a symmetrical triangle bullish?

Only once it breaks upward. Before that it is neutral by construction. Flash Finance marks a symmetrical triangle bullish or bearish only after price closes outside a boundary.
