Chart Patterns

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.

Technical Review

Royal Bank of Canada - the air is getting thin up here.

2026-01-23 by Tim Straiton

Current price is $168.86 and 15% above its 40 week moving average. There are a number of reasons why one should look to secure profits on long positions here.

The weekly choppiness index at 33 suggests that a bout of panic buying or short covering has recently taken place. Furthermore, the  MACD-V level of +224 stands at a multi-year high. The Fibonacci 78.6% upside projection target of $174.32, based on the $49.55 to $119.41 range traded between March 2020 and January 2022 has recently been reached and rejected.
