Futures News reported on October 9th that, looking ahead to the fourth quarter, with the onset of the off-season demand season, refineries enthusiasm for asphalt production will cool, with asphalt production projected to decrease by 5.2% month-over-month, though still expected to increase by 3.3% year-over-year. While asphalt demand is expected to decline month-over-month, local government bond issuance is stronger than last year, significantly supporting infrastructure investment growth. Furthermore, with the final year of the 14th Five-Year Plan and the need to rush road projects, asphalt demand is expected to increase by 2% year-over-year in the fourth quarter. We estimate that total asphalt market inventories will continue to decline seasonally in the fourth quarter, and this, coupled with a low inventory-to-sales ratio, will provide strong support for asphalt prices. However, due to continued production increases by OPEC+, led by Saudi Arabia, we expect global oil inventories to increase, with Brent crude oil prices trading between $55 and $65 per barrel, potentially shifting the center of gravity of asphalt production costs downward.Li Auto (02015.HK): In the 40th week of 2025, 105 Li Auto supercharging stations were put into operation, and the cumulative number of online stations exceeded 3,400.The Central Bank of Serbia kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at 5.75%.Polls show that 67% of Americans believe Republicans are at least partially responsible for the government shutdown; 63% say Democrats are also to blame.On October 9th, Deyin Tianxia (02418.HK) announced in Hong Kong that, on October 9, 2025, the company and Yongqing Group Co., Ltd. entered into a strategic cooperation agreement regarding digital logistics for overseas industrial parks.

The ascending triangle, sometimes known as the 'rising triangle,' is a popular mid-trend continuation pattern. Traders predict that the market will continue in the direction of the wider trend and therefore build trading setups.

What Is An Ascending Triangle?

The ascending triangle pattern is a bullish continuation pattern defined by a rising lower trendline and a flat upper trendline acting as support. As price continues to hit greater lows, this pattern shows that buyers are more aggressive than sellers. When price breaks out of the triangle in the direction of the broader trend, the pattern is complete.

The Ascending Triangle as a Bottoming Pattern

The ascending triangle's position in regard to the trend dictates whether a reversal or continuation of the trend is more likely. At the bottom of a downtrend, the ascending triangle may form, indicating that the downward momentum is waning before potentially changing direction. As a result, the position of the pattern is critical.  

How To Identify An Ascending Triangle Pattern On Forex Charts

Once traders understand what to look for, the ascending triangle is pretty straightforward to see on forex charts.

 

Prior to the emergence of the ascending triangle, the market must be in an uptrend. This is critical and emphasizes the importance of traders not merely trading the ascending triangle pattern everytime it arises.


Consolidation: As the market enters the consolidation period, the rising triangle begins to take shape.


A rising lower trendline may be formed by connecting the lows while the market is consolidating. This ascending trendline indicates that buyers are gradually driving the price upward — providing more evidence for a bullish trading inclination.


Upper trendline is flat: The upper trendline functions as a barrier. Price frequently approaches and bounces off of this level until the breakout happens.


After price breaks decisively above the upper trendline, traders will look for confirmation of the pattern in the form of further upward momentum.

Ascending Triangle Measuring Technique

The ascending triangle pattern incorporates a built-in measurement mechanism that may be used to estimate possible take profit objectives.

 

Traders can calculate the distance between the start of the pattern, at the lowest point of the rising trendline, and the flat support line for the ascending triangle. Later on, this identical distance can be transferred, beginning at the breakout point and finishing at the probable take profit level.

 

The picture below demonstrates how the distance between A and B might be projected further up, from C to D, to project a probable take profit level.

How To Trade The Ascending Triangle 

When trading the ascending triangle, traders must first determine the uptrend, as seen in the USD/CAD chart below. Following that, when the forex candlesticks begin to consolidate, the ascending triangle appears. Once the triangle formed, the measuring approach may be utilized as traders await the breakout.

 

After observing a solid break over resistance, traders may open a long position, putting a stop loss at the previous swing low and establishing a take profit goal consistent with the measurement approach.
