About This Infographic
The Descending Triangle is a bearish pattern formed by two structural signals: a flat horizontal support where buyers keep defending the same level, and a declining resistance where sellers make progressively lower highs — signaling growing seller pressure. This infographic shows how to identify both trendlines, the confirmed breakdown entry below flat support with volume, stop loss above the last lower high, triangle-height measured move downward target, and the invalidation signal — a breakdown on low volume has a significantly higher failure rate and should be avoided.
