Analyze Continuation Chart Patterns
Continuation Chart Patterns
When these continuation patterns are formed on the cfds charts they confirm that the current cfds trend is going to continue moving in the same direction.
These continuation cfd patterns are used by traders to spot halfway points of the cfd trend, this is because they form at the halfway point of a cfds trend.
There are four types of continuation chart patterns:
- Ascending triangle continuation trading pattern
- Descending triangle continuation chart pattern
- Bull flag/pennant continuation trading pattern
- Bear flag/pennant continuation chart pattern
Ascending Triangle Continuation Chart Pattern
The ascending triangle chart pattern is formed in an upwards cfd trend and it shows that upwards cfd market direction of the market is going to continue.
Ascending triangle pattern shows that there is a resistance level that the buyers keep pushing each time moving it higher, and once it breaks-out cfd price will continue moving in an upward cfds trend.
The overhead resistance temporarily prevents the cfd market from advancing higher, while the rising cfd trend line beneath the ascending triangle chart pattern signals that buyers are still present. An upside penetration of the upper line of the ascending triangle chart pattern is a technical buy trading signal for a market breaking out from an ascending triangle pattern.
Found within a CFD upwards trend, the ascending triangle pattern forms as a consolidation period within the up trend & indicates upside continuation will follow.

The market formed an ascending triangle pattern during its upward cfd market cfd trend which led to up-side continuation.
The buy signal point is when price clears the upper sloping line of the ascending triangle pattern and the cfd market continues moving upwards.
Descending Triangle Continuation Chart Pattern
The descending triangle pattern is formed in a downward trend & it shows that the downwards direction of cfd price movement is going to continue.
Descending triangle pattern shows that there is a support level that the sellers keep pushing each time moving it lower, & once it breaks out cfd price will continue moving in a downwards trend direction.
Support temporarily prevents the cfd market from declining, while the descending sloping line above the descending triangle chart pattern signals that sellers are still present. A downside penetration of the lower line of the descending triangle pattern is a technical sell signal for a market breaking down from a descending triangle pattern, & this indicates selling will follow.
Found within a CFD downwards trend, the descending triangle pattern forms as a consolidation period within the downwards cfd trend & indicates downside continuation will follow.
How to Trade Descending Triangle Pattern - Descending Triangle Continuation Chart Pattern
The market formed a descending triangle pattern during its downward cfd trend which led to further selling & continuation of the downwards cfds trend.
The technical sell signal is when price breaks lower horizontal sloping line of the descending triangle pattern as selling resumes to push the cfd market lower.
Bull Flag Continuation Chart Pattern
Bull flag chart pattern forms what looks like a rectangle. The rectangle is formed by two parallel lines that act as support and resistance for the cfd price until the cfd price breaks out. Generally, the flag will not be formed perfectly flat but this pattern will be formed sloping.
The bull flag pattern is found within a CFD upward trend. In this continuation chart pattern where the cfd market retraces slightly, it is therefore a slight retracement with narrow cfd price action which has a slight downwards tilt.
The technical buy signal is when price penetrates the upper line of the Bull flag pattern. The flag portion has highs and lows which can be connected by small lines which are parallel, and it looks like a small channel.
Bull flag pattern occurs at halfway point of a bullish upward cfd market cfd trend & after a break out a similar move equivalent to the height of the flagpole is expected.
