Due to the presence of wicks, both the resistance and support lines can have slightly different slopes.

The symmetrical triangle is considered a neutral pattern.

Thus, when occurring after an uptrend, it often means that it will act as a continuation pattern, indicating a breakout.

Let’s take a look at technical indicators to see how likely that is.

Technical Indicators

When looking at a longer time-frame, the first thing we notice is the presence of long upper wicks near the resistance area.

This makes us believe that even if IOTA breaks out from the triangle, it will likely create a double top and will not be successful in moving above the resistance area.
