Example of a Symmetrical Triangle on VNQ

AMEX:VNQ   Vanguard Real Estate ETF
VNQ formed a symmetrical triangle. It has two trend lines. One uptrend line is acting as support while the downtrend line is acting as resistance.
This triangle contains three highs lower and three lows higher. When these points are connected, the lines converge as they are extended and the symmetrical triangle takes shape.

The symmetrical triangle can be continuation or reversal, so we must wait for which line will break. To confirm the breakout, the price should close above the resistance line or below the support line. In this case broke by support, then we must make a short.

The profit target is the distance away as the back of the triangle.
Comment:
The upper line of the triangle is a resistance, not a breakout as I indicated.
