Would anyone consider this to be a Triangle?

I need a little help in identifying a triangle on the AUD/USD Daily chart, what I drew out as a symmetrical triangle (a few weeks ago actually) now to me looks like a ascending triangle, would anyone be able to help me out on identifying the triangle ?

On the NZD/USD (good correlation with AUD/USD) a symmetrical triangle has appeared, but the symmetrical triangle on the AUD/USD has been broken into a few times (although not too successfully) ...

Any opinions on this ?

I'm only concerned about the type of triangle because ascending triangles usually shoot prices upwards, whereas symmetrical go with the overall trend ( in this case downwards)

yes both triangles. Don't worry about what types of triangle rather think about the behaviour and why it has formed.

I'm pretty sure that prices compressing (i.e. triangles / or the spinning top candle / Doji) usually mean an outburst in either direction (usually with the trend)
...
Would I be right to say that it is indeed a symmetrical triangle ? therefore prices would shoot downwards?




(Sorry if it's a stupid reply to what you said )

Yes it is compressing but why it is compressing? Because the price disagreement between buyer and seller are narrowing, in another words price reaching equilibrium. As to which side it will burst out you never know, you can only anticipate.

Don't worry about the name of the triangle think in terms why it has formed will serve you much better.
