How the Ascending Triangle scanner works

The ascending triangle is a bullish continuation pattern that forms when a stock repeatedly tests a flat resistance level while making higher lows — creating a triangle that compresses toward a breakout. The flat top shows sellers defending a price level, while the rising lows show buyers becoming increasingly aggressive. When volume contracts during the pattern and price approaches the apex, a breakout through resistance often produces a powerful move. Our scanner identifies ascending triangles across 5,000+ stocks daily, scoring each setup based on resistance touches, support trendline quality, volume contraction, and proximity to breakout.

What we analyze

Flat resistance line with 2+ touches within 2%
Rising support trendline with higher lows
Volume contraction during pattern formation
Proximity to resistance breakout level
Existing uptrend context (above 50 SMA)

How our grading system works

For ascending triangles, an A+ grade means 3+ resistance touches within 2%, 3+ rising support touches, strong volume contraction, price within 2% of resistance, and an existing uptrend above both 50 and 200 SMAs. This is not a prediction of future price movement — it is a way to prioritize which charts deserve your attention first.

A+
Textbook setup with strong confluence
A
High-quality setup worth watching
B+
Decent setup with some reservations
B
Pattern detected but lower conviction
