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/Silver Ratio - Bullish trend for Gold but nearing overbought levels.

2025-05-15 by Tim Straiton

The 14 week relative strength index is at 66% after having reached the 73% level in early April 2025. The MACD-V weekly reading of 202 suggests that this ratio is running into overbought territory and is a warning that downside retracement is a possibility with focus on the rising 40 week moving average at 89.54.
