Lasalle Properties (LHO): A Symmetrical Triangle Pattern

SUMMARY

Pattern identification is the first thing I do when using a new price chart. It's almost like doodling by connnecting lines across the tops and bottoms of prices at every possible combination. After doing it that way for a while, you can often actually just "see" the patterns and the more types and combinations you can "see" the more informative. The below is the primary pattern for Lasalle Properties (LHO); a symmetrical triangle (blue lines). This pattern often represents a point of indecision and pattern alone doesn't give much information on the direction of likely breakout.

By combining pattern with Elliott Waves, the red ABCDE can be labeled. Each is validated by the subwave count. Since the red E wave sits on the bottom trendline, price has more of a propensity to break upwards than down. Thereby, EW provides a probable resolution to what was only a 50/50 impasse using pattern only. The white arrow shows the bias that breakout will likely be to the upside.
