Consolidation commodity trading chart patterns are commodities chart patterns with converging commodity trend lines that form a commodity price consolidation period.

Ideally, a market breaks-out from a symmetrical triangle prior to reaching the apex of the triangle.

Commodity Trading Trend Lines can be drawn connecting the lows and highs of the consolidation phase, the trend lines formed are symmetric and converge to form an apex. A breakout should occur somewhere between 60-80% into the consolidation chart pattern - triangle pattern. An early or late break out is more prone to failure, and therefore less reliable. After a commodity price breakout the apex forms support and resistance levels for the commodity price. Commodity Trading Price that has broken out of the apex should not retrace past the apex.
