When we look at the recent price action in GSAT, the structure provides a clear example of how classical chart patterns can guide expectations — but more importantly, how we manage risk around them.
1. Descending Triangle & Breakout Confirmation
From late 2025 into early 2026, price formed a descending triangle, characterised by:
- A flat support base around $68
- Lower highs compressing price into that level
On 1st April, price broke above the structure, confirming a bullish breakout. This is an important moment structurally, as it shifts the market from compression into expansion.
2. Measured Move – How the Target is Derived
As we’ve discussed in previous educational contents, one way to estimate potential movement is by using the measured move technique.
- Distance from triangle low to top: ~$20
- Breakout level: $68
By projecting this distance from the breakout point:
- $68 + $20 = $88
This gives us a projected target area around $88.
The key idea here is not prediction, but framework — it helps us understand how far a move can extend if momentum continues.
3. Ascending Trendline – Shift in Behaviour
Since August, GSAT has respected an ascending trendline, initially acting as support.
However, more recently:
- Price has moved below this trendline
- The same trendline is now acting as dynamic resistance
This type of role reversal is important — it shows a change in market behaviour, not just direction.
4. Two Educational Scenarios to Monitor
Based on the current structure, there are two key areas we are watching from an educational perspective:
Scenario 1 – Pullback into Breakout Zone
- If price retraces, the $68 region (previous breakout level) becomes structurally significant
- This area may act as a reaction zone, as prior resistance often turns into support
Scenario 2 – Completion of Measured Move
- If momentum continues, the $88 region aligns with the projected move
- This area may act as a reaction or exhaustion zone, where price could slow down or reassess
Final Thoughts
This is a strong example of how:
- Structure (triangle)
- Confirmation (breakout)
- Projection (measured move)
- Behaviour shift (trendline flip)
…all come together to form a complete technical framework.
As always, the focus is not on being right, but on understanding structure and managing risk around key levels.
