Formation rule

A sharp move, the pole, followed by a small symmetrical triangle before the move resumes.

Method

Target and invalidation

Conventional target: A break in the prior direction projects a move equal to the pole’s length.

Invalidated by: A break against the prior trend invalidates the pattern.

Traditional claim, not measured

This is the standard technical-analysis interpretation. It has not been tested against our dataset the way the candlestick formations have.
