We can see a decisive break above the upper triangle line, which confirms a completed correction and more upside into wave 5, which can target region near the 76.81/81.00.

A Triangle is a common 5-wave pattern labeled A-B-C-D-E that moves counter-trend and is corrective in nature. Triangles move within two channel lines drawn from waves A to C, and from waves, B to D. A Triangle is either contracting or expanding depending on whether the channel lines are converging or expanding. Triangles are overlapping five wave affairs that subdivide 3-3-3-3-3.

Now switching to the 4h chart, where we have a better look at the bullish development which started at the 66.64 level.
