Ascending Triangle

Pattern Description:

In an ascending triangle, one trendline is drawn horizontally at a level that has historically prevented the price from heading higher, while the second trendline connects a series of increasing troughs. Traders enter into long positions when the price of the asset breaks above the top resistance. An ascending triangle is generally considered to be a continuation pattern, meaning that it is usually found amid a period of consolidation within an uptrend. Once the breakout occurs, buyers will aggressively send the price of the asset higher, usually on high volume. The most common price target is generally set to be equal to the entry price plus the vertical height of the triangle.

Detecting deterministic dynamics in stock prices

by Tim Straiton
It may appear odd to many investors, but stocks that are less volatile than their counterparts have historically produced comparable or better returns. However our analysis of stocks which display long periods of deterministic dynamics perform much better than those which tend to trend sideways over long periods. We have applied the MACD-V indicator from Alex Spiroglou to scan the S&P500 stocks over 100 days.  We wanted to see how many days constituent stocks traded outside the...

Technical Review

Cisco Systems (CSCO) - Signs of FOMO panic emerging.

2026-05-24 by Tim Straiton

Cisco Systems, Inc. designs and sells a range of technologies that power the Internet. The Company is integrating its product portfolios across networking, security, collaboration, applications and cloud. The Company's segments include the Americas; Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific, Japan, and China (APJC). Its Networking product category represents its core networking technologies of switching, routing, wireless, fifth generation (5G), silicon, optics solutions and compute products. Its Security product category consists of its cloud and application security, industrial security, network security, and user and device security offerings. 

Cisco Systems climbed approximately 33% over the past month, reaching record highs. Significant growth in AI infrastructure orders and record-breaking Q3 revenue acted as primary catalysts. Analysts project continued double-digit growth for the next quarter, supported by a multi-year campus networking refresh cycle and surging hyperscaler demand.

 

 

The technical picture on the daily charts reflects an extremely overbought state. The current price of $120.41 is 35% above its 200 day moving average and the 14 day relative strength index is at 80%, down from 88% 4 days ago.


The MACD-V indicator shows an extremely over-extended level of +284.87 while the choppiness index is at 25, a level which suggests utter greed and FOMO panic. Should the choppiness index rise above 35 in the coming days, then long liquidations should be activated.
