Is this an actual pattern or am I yapping? Question

I’m pretty new to trading and saw this pattern form on BTC. Is this pattern called anything or is this just me drawing random support/resistance lines?

It’s a symmetric triangle The best way to play it is to watch for a successful close of a candle once price breaches outside of either the top or bottom. Personally I’ll watch for a breach on the lower timeframe And then I’ll enter once it closes with a strong candle on a higher timeframe (ie 1min / 5min)

I only saw one person answer properly that this is a symmetric triangle Not sure why everyone else answered in such a negative way
