Triangle near a level signals seller pressure and buyer strength
When the market approaches a level and forms a triangle, it indicates a powerful seller has placed a large order that the market can't absorb, but buyers are willing to buy at high prices—creating a bias toward buyers.
[00:27]
Buyers strong, seller hesitant
If buyers are ready to buy at high prices while the seller is not ready to sell at low prices, it indicates buyers are strong and the level is likely to break.
[00:52]
High probability of level breakdown
When market participants are willing to buy at high prices, there is a high probability that the level will be broken, especially as the large order gets bought out by demand.
[01:05]
Sideways movement indicates accumulation
If the market moves toward a level and forms a sideways movement near it, a major participant is likely accumulating a position to break through the level and target sellers.
[01:31]
Works on any timeframe
The setup—level approach, squeeze, and subsequent jerk—works on any time interval, even minute charts, as shown in the daily timeframe example.
[01:43]
Liquidity grab and breakout confirmation
A final liquidity grab precedes a full-fledged breakout. A large recoilless bullish candle indicates stop losses were fulfilled, and stop-orders appeared from participants who shorted prematurely.
The key takeaway is that consolidation patterns such as triangles and sideways ranges at key levels reveal the presence of large players and increase the probability of a breakout, a pattern that works across all timeframes.
