Symmetrical Triangle
The symmetrical triangle, which can also be referred to as a coil, usually forms during a trend as a continuation pattern. The pattern contains at least two lower highs and two higher lows. When these points are connected, the lines converge as they are extended and the symmetrical triangle takes shape.
At least 2 points are required to form a trendline and two trendlines are required to form a symmetrical triangle. Therefore, a minimum of 4 points are required to begin considering a formation as a symmetrical triangle. The second high (4) should be lower than the first (2) and the upper line should slope down. The second low (3) should be higher than the first (1) and the lower line should slope up. Ideally, the pattern will form with 6 points (3 on each side) before a breakout occurs.
Looking at the chart of SCI, it does not look like a breakout of a symmetrical triangle pattern.
It looks more like a breakout of a downward sloping line.
