ControlTemplate DataTrigger is not working, but a normal Trigger does. Why?

I have a Button which uses a ControlTemplate, this template contains multiple MultiDataTriggers which change the appearance depending on User Interaction and View Model properties. Therefore, I cannot use traditional Triggers.

The Triggers in question (examples)

XAML:

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsPressed, RelativeSource={RelativeSource TemplatedParent}}" Value="True">
    <Setter TargetName="Text" Property="Content" Value="IsPressed"/>
</DataTrigger>

<Trigger Property="IsPressed" Value="True">
    <Setter TargetName="Text" Property="Content" Value="IsPressed"/>
</Trigger>

The DataTrigger fails, yet the normal Trigger does not. Why?

Note:

I have tried multiple approaches to binding, such as AncestorType, but have had no success. These triggers have also been tested independently with the same problem persisting.

Try {RelativeSource Self}:

<DataTrigger Binding="{Binding IsPressed, RelativeSource={RelativeSource Self}}" Value="True">
    <Setter TargetName="Text" Property="Content" Value="IsPressed"/>
</DataTrigger>
