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.

The Pin Bar Candlestick Pattern

Pin bars belong to the most high probability reversal candlestick patterns which exist.  Both bullish and bearish pin bars have a long wick and a very short body.

Technical Review

Euro/USD - Short-term downward pressure with limited potential.

2026-10-08 by Tim Straiton

The current price is 1.1206 and trading below the falling 40 week moving average of 1.1586. The price has clearly ruptured the Fibonacci 38.2% retracement level of 1.1338, based on the entire range traded since February 2025. The downside target is 1.0881, which matches the Fibonacci 61.8% retracement level from the high, based on the same period. The weekly MACD-V indicator value of -46 also reflects the negative short-term trend.


In spite of the current weakness, it is worth casting a view of the trend development ever since 2008, where an extended period of lower highs and lower lows was evident. This pattern is no longer in force and has given way to a series of higher highs and higher lows which developed between 2022 and 2025. One could therefore conclude that the current US$ strength will be short-lived, in spite of rising US interest rates.
