Ascending Triangle Setup
Flat resistance at the top, rising lows below — a coil where buyers are willing to pay higher prices each test while sellers defend a fixed line. Resolves with a breakout above the flat top on volume.
Historical replay numbers are unavailable because the artifact is stale (source bars are 15 days old). The page does not substitute zeros or older results.
