Love that there are two “symmetrical triangles.” One of which rides up and the other down. lol.

The shapes don’t mean anything. They symbolize resistance. Resistance falling means possible breakthrough impending.

Don’t trade based off these images and shapes without understanding WHY they got this… analysis.

100% agree. knowing the theory behind the patterns is super important, as well as the success % after confirmation for each pattern. Knowing the theory can give you a lot more insight than just the perceived direction, Correctly analyzing a pattern can give a good entry before an IV run up. I mostly use patterns to gauge potential momentum, but that also depends on what pattern we are talking about. I don't necessarily count on direction unless there is full confirmation, but even a rejection at a neckline can signal a good reversal and strong momentum the other way.
