Ascending Triangle Offers Continuation Trade on AUD/NZD

The current AUD/NZD uptrend is traced back to June 26. It was interrupted by just one significant consolidation before — back in late July. The current ascending triangle on the 4-hour timeframe is a classic example of such patterns with a horizontal resistance level and a well-confirmed support line.
The triangle is delimited with the yellow lines on the image below. The cyan line marks my potential entry point and is positioned at 10% of the triangle’s height (at base) above the upper border. The green line is placed at 100% of the same distance and will serve as my take-profit level. My stop-loss will be set to the low of the breakout candle or to the low of the preceding one if the breakout candle is trading mostly outside the border. I will ignore downward breakouts from this triangle as it should be a continuation pattern. You can click on the image below to see a full-size screenshot of the chart:

Update 2017-09-12: I have cancelled this trade setup because the triangle had been broken to the downside invalidating the original continuation pattern:
