Ascending Triangle in S&P 500

CHART-II
  • Breakout from Ascending triangle looks strong.
CHART - I
  • S&P 500 Futures Hour chart is showing an Ascending Triangle in its hourly time frame.
  • Break of this one can give good direction. Ascending triangles normally breaks on the upside. But that rule has been violated many times. So we can expect an upside or a downside breakout.
  • Start entering after a breakout or breakdown for small profits. Small profits because of the small time frame, This being an hourly time frame chances of whipsaws are higher too.

Dow Jones in a triangle

  • Dow Jones futures daily chart is in a triangle pattern. and trading near the resistance line.
  • The stochastic indicator for daily chart is approaching oversold region. One main thing to note is if you plot the stochastic indicator for daily time frame in dow jones futures chart, after the low of 9504 the indicator has gone to the oversold region main times but the index never went to the 9504 levels, this shows the presence of some positive divergence. 
  • So according to the above observation two things are possible, Price makes another higher low from here close to the supporting line of the triangle and then a reversal from there resulting in a breakout from this triangle OR a breakout from here itself. Since it is a triangle a breakdown of the triangle is also possible.
