What the ascending triangle is
A flat ceiling and rising floor squeeze together, then price breaks up.
Imagine bouncing a ball under a low ceiling while the floor slowly rises beneath it. Each bounce has less room, until the ball has to escape somewhere. An ascending triangle is price squeezed like that, and here it escapes through the ceiling.
