This formation is very similar to the Ascending Triangle but reverse.

The best days to trade in the Forex Market
Because it is no a centralized market, Forex is open 24 hours a day Monday through Friday. However, not all time is equally suitable to enter the market. In fact, there are periods that offer excellent earning potential while others should be avoided since they have low liquidity and movement.
Many traders know that the period corresponding to the London session is the period that has more movement compared to other sessions, however, there are certain days in the week in which markets tend to show more movement.
Usually it is best to trade during midweek, as in this period is when most of the action occurs in the market.
Friday markets remain relatively active until 12:00 pm EST and thereafter the activity falls until the closing occurs at 5:00 pm EST. This means that on Friday, traders work only half a day since most are kept off the market for the rest of the trading session.
Except for the more conservative traders who prefer the slower and less volatile markets, the most suitable periods for Forex trading are those with higher levels of liquidity and volatility as they present the most extensive movements and clearer trends. This increases the chances of success of the trader.
Line Forex Charts
In technical analysis the technical traders use various types of price charts. The simplest of these types of charts is the line chart which is used to obtain an overview of price movements in the market. In this case it shows the closing prices at selected intervals. Line charts are very clear and facilitate the detection of the most obvious chart patterns but lack the detail level offered by bar charts and Japanese candlestick charts.
In these price charts the points for price are joined by lines. In general the price used is the closing price of the period (which may be 5 minutes, 1 hour, etc..), but it can also display the average price, the buy/sale price, and many other options that vary according the trading platform that we use.
