What is this pattern?

Lows stay level while highs fall. A close below support targets the triangle's starting height lower.

A close above the last high invalidates the pattern.

This is not investment advice. Patterns describe probabilities; the same pattern can resolve differently. Levels use classic technical-analysis measuring rules.
