What are the Rising Three Methods?

The ascending triangle is a trend continuation pattern that appears in the middle of an uptrend. This is not a reversal, but a confirmation signal that “this upward trend will continue”.

Consists of 5 packets:

  1. Big candle (strong rise)
  2. 3 small negative candles (slight adjustment, but within the range of 1 candle)
  3. Big candlestick (New report closes)
