Falling Wedge

ChartBullishReversalReliability:

Two down-sloping trendlines that converge; despite falling prices it is usually an exhausting structure that reverses higher.

Description

Both highs and lows fall, but the upper edge is steeper, narrowing the range. It appears in downtrends (reversal) or uptrends (continuation).

Market psychology

Each down-leg shrinks and momentum contracts, showing sellers are running out even as price still slips lower.

How to trade

Wait for a close above the upper edge; the target is often around the top of the wedge. Momentum divergence reinforces the case.

Confirmation

A close above the upper edge, often with rising volume on the break.
