Triangles
A triangle correction pattern has the form of a triangle.

Figure 7.24: Different types of triangle correction patterns.
Figure 7.24 shows the different types of triangle correction patterns.
The triangle is a correction pattern consisting of five waves identified with the letters ABCDE. The triangle is drawn between the points AC and BD. It can be a symmetrical triangle or a rising or falling triangle. An inverted widening triangle is a rather rare.
Triangles will not be found in any type 2 wave, in a flat correction B wave, or in double or triple flat correction waves W, X, and X².
The inverted widening triangle is never seen in double or triple zigzag waves X or X².
All waves within a triangle pattern are correction waves.
Wave E will, in some cases, penetrate the AC line.
In the normal triangles we note three types: symmetrical, rising, or falling triangles.
The inverted widening triangle only exists in a symmetrical version.
Rules and Guidelines for the Triangle
- Wave A is a simple, double, or triple zigzag pattern, or a flat correction.
- Wave B is a simple, double, or triple zigzag pattern.
- Waves C and D can be any correction pattern, except a triangle.
- Waves ABC and D remain within or close to the triangle channel.
- The triangle is closed after wave E.
- The triangle lines converge; they cannot be parallel lines.
- One of the sides of the triangle can be a horizontal line.
- Wave E is a simple, double, or triple zigzag pattern, or a triangle.
- Wave E has a smaller price move than wave D, but it moves more than 20% of D.
- Either wave A or wave B has the biggest price move.
- Wave E ends in the range of wave A.
- Wave E ends within or close to the BD line.
Rules and Guidelines for the Inverted Widening Triangle
- The five waves have a simple, double, or triple zigzag pattern.
- Wave B is smaller than wave C, but a minimum 40% of wave C
- Waves ABCD move within or close to the lines AC and BD.
- Wave C is smaller than wave D, but a minimum 40% of wave D.
- Wave A moves within the line AC.
- Wave A starts after the starting point of the inverted triangle.
- The channel lines of the inverted triangle diverge; they cannot be parallel lines.
- None of the channel lines can move horizontally.
- Wave E is bigger than wave D, but wave D is a minimum 40% of wave E.
- Either wave A or wave B has the smallest price move.
- Wave E ends in the range of wave A.
- Wave E ends within or close to the BD line.
