What the descending triangle is
A flat floor and falling ceiling squeeze together, then price breaks down.
Imagine pressing a heavy lid down on a box a little harder each time, until the bottom of the box gives way. A descending triangle is like that: the ceiling keeps coming down while the floor stays flat. When price finally breaks through the floor, the pattern is complete.
