FTSE 100 Triggers Ascending Triangle Pattern
The FTSE 100 has been trading sideways since March 26, and the price struggled to trade above the April 9 high of 5920. However, in the last few hours, the FTSE 100 managed to pierce the high and then added to its gains. Ultimately, the index might be able to trade higher as the consolidation from March 26 was in the shape of an ascending triangle pattern with a target of 6460. The pattern is formed when the price is struggling to overcome horizontal resistance such as the April 9 high, and at the same time creating higher and higher lows, as shown with the upward sloping trend line in the image below, that connects the April 3 and April 22 lows.
