Wedge (Rising & Falling)
• The Falling Wedge is a bullish pattern that begins wide at the
top and contracts as prices move lower.
• This price action forms a cone that slopes down as the
reaction highs and reaction lows converge.
• The Rising Wedge is a bearish pattern that begins wide at the
bottom and contracts as prices move higher and the trading
range narrows
• As a reversal pattern, the rising wedge will slope up and with
the prevailing trend. Regardless of the type (reversal or
continuation), rising wedges are bearish.
