It should have atleast two consecutive points forming higher highs. More point in the trendline indicates more strength in the pattern. The main trendline acts as a resistance in ascending channel pattern.
b. Ascending Lower Trendline: Also known as the main trendline or primary trendline. It is called so because it is the one which determines the trend. It serves as an support in this pattern. It should also have a minimum of 2 consecutive lower lows point. More points indicates more validity.
Breakout: It can occur in any direction upside or downside.
