What the symmetrical triangle is
Lower highs and higher lows squeeze into a point, then price picks a side.
Imagine two walls sliding toward each other with a ball bouncing between them. The space keeps shrinking, so the ball must escape one way or the other. A symmetrical triangle is price squeezed like that, and nobody knows which side it will pick until it breaks.
