In today’s technical spotlight, we examine Snapchat (SNAP), which has been in a consolidation phase since early March. The stock is locked inside a symmetrical triangle pattern, formed by converging blue trendlines—a setup that typically precedes a decisive breakout.
Over the past several weeks, price action has remained confined within this narrowing structure, reflecting growing indecision among traders. Most recently, SNAP bounced off the lower boundary of the triangle and is now hovering around the midpoint of the formation. This neutral positioning means the stock is currently untradable from a trend-following perspective.
However, this pattern is setting the stage for a potential one-click trade setup. A breakout to the upside would trigger a bullish signal, inviting long positions. On the other hand, a break below the lower boundary would be a bearish signal and a call to go short.
Patience is key here. Traders should watch closely for a confirmed daily candle close outside the triangle to validate the breakout direction and act accordingly.
