I'm seeing a lot of people confusing these price formations and falling into traps. Let me share what I’ve learned about ascending triangles and these crazy imbalance candles.

The ascending triangle is like that pattern we see when the price is forming higher highs, while the support level keeps resisting. It’s a bullish formation that gives good signals of a possible reversal, but there’s an important detail that many people ignore: just because it appears doesn’t mean you should enter.

The thing is, this ascending triangle is only really valid when you get confirmation. Like, wait for that new breakout test to be sure. If you enter before that, you’re risking a lot with false breakouts. I’ve lost too much money that way, so now I always wait for confirmation.

Now, there are these imbalance candles that show up when the market is highly polarized. It’s when either the sellers or buyers completely take over, creating that huge gap between one candle and the previous one. These candles are interesting because the price usually comes back to fill that space and restore balance.

What I’ve learned is that when you see an ascending triangle forming along with these imbalance actions, the movement becomes clearer. The empty zone between the candles tends to be filled, and then the ascending triangle can confirm the direction. It’s worth studying these two formations carefully because they often move together in stronger trends.
