CADJPY completed a triangle pattern as part of a bearish correction which could last for few weeks. What story does a triangle pattern tell on a price chart?. With the following CADJPY Elliott wave trade setup, we identify a triangle and a very likely bearish drive.

17 February, AtoZForex - The triangle pattern is one of the corrective patterns identified on a price chart. The Elliott wave triangle sub-divides into 5 sub-waves that are all corrective. It is also noted that triangles precede the last leg of an impulse wave or corrective wave (of any degree) before trend  correction/reversal or continuation. Triangles are also continuation patterns  most often. With the charts below and based on CADJPY Elliott wave trade setup, we identified a contracting triangle pattern.
