One of the first things to know about rising and falling wedge patterns, is that they’re a great indicator of an upcoming reversal. Much the same as other wedge patterns, they’re formed by a consolidation period representing either distribution or accumulation.
While both rising and falling wedges can form over a period of any length, typically the longer the consolidation period, the more explosive the breakout will be when it eventuates
A Falling Wedge is a chart pattern within the context of a downtrend composed of two downward sloping and converging trendlines connecting a series of lower swing/pivot highs and lower swing/pivot lows.
The power of a Falling Wedge can be greater after a moderate downside move due to the possible decrease of overhead resistance as the pattern is formed.
Falling Wedges can be stronger when the series of lower swing/pivot highs and lower swing/pivot lows that formed the pattern narrow down into a point/apex as bears become less interested in selling.
2)A Rising Wedge is a chart pattern within the context of an uptrend composed of two upward sloping and converging trendlines connecting a series of higher swing/pivot highs and higher swing/pivot lows.
The power of a Rising Wedge can be greater after a moderate upside move due to the possible decrease of underlying support as the pattern is formed.
Rising Wedges can be stronger when the series of higher swing highs and higher swing lows that formed the pattern narrow down into a point/apex as bulls become less interested in buying.
