This stock pattern has a flat lower trendline while the upper trendline slopes downwards.

Conclusion
_______________________________________________________________
On the descending triangle, the horizontal line represents demand that prevents the security from moving past a certain level.
It is as if a large buy order has been placed at this level and it is taking a number of weeks or months to execute, thus preventing the price from falling further. Even though the price cannot sink past this level, the reaction highs continue to shrink.
It is these lower highs that indicate increased selling pressure and give the descending triangle its bearish bias.
