Descending Triangle
ChartBearishContinuationReliability:
A horizontal support line with falling highs; price compresses until it typically breaks below the lower edge.
Description
A flat lower edge (support) is tested repeatedly; the falling upper edge connects lower highs.
Market psychology
Sellers accept lower prices (falling highs) while buyers defend a floor — the balance tilts toward sellers.
How to trade
The target is often the triangle height projected down from the break; wait for a close below support.
Confirmation
A close below the lower edge with rising volume; a failed retest reinforces the pattern.
