Bullish◐ Heuristic
◆ The PatternFlat resistance + rising lows = buyers pressing higher
The Ascending Triangle has a flat resistance level and a rising lower trendline. Buyers are willing to pay increasingly higher prices. When resistance finally breaks, the measured move equals the triangle's height at its widest point.
Target = Breakout + Height of triangle base
~75% of the time these break upward, but always wait for confirmation above resistance.
// Ascending Triangle — flat top, rising lows
Key insight: Each touch of resistance weakens it — like repeatedly hitting a wall. The rising lows show buyers becoming more aggressive with each dip.
Pattern bridge: Rising lows against a flat ceiling — pressure building. Same dynamic as optimizer momentum accumulating against a loss plateau.
