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.

Gold mining stocks on the retreat

2026-03-22 by Tim Straiton

Although gold is under considerable pressure, the outlook seems even worse for gold mining stocks. This development can be easily visualized by looking at the weekly gold to HUI ratio, which currently stands at 6.569 and getting very close to the falling 40 week moving average at 6.615.

Bullish divergence is detected on the 14 week relative strength index and also in the MACD-V indicator. Expect further weakness in gold stocks relative to the price of gold, with focus on the gold to HUI ratio rising toward the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level of 8.17, based on the 9.88 to 5.40 range traded since February 2024.
