Rising Wedges form after an uptrend and indicate a bearish reversal and Falling Wedges forms after a downtrend indicate a bullish reversal.

What is a Rising Wedge Pattern?

A rising wedge is formed by two converging trend lines when the stock’s prices have been rising for a certain period.

Before the line converges the sellers come into the market and as a result, the prices lose their momentum.

This results in the breaking of the prices from the upper or the lower trend lines but usually, the prices break out in the opposite direction from the trend line.

Depending upon the location of the rising wedges it indicates whether the trend will continue or reverse:

Rising Wedges in Uptrend

The rising wedge in an uptrend indicates a reversal of the downtrend. It is formed when the prices are making Higher Highs and Higher Lows compared to the previous price movements.

It gives traders opportunities to take short positions in the market.

Rising Wedges in Downtrend

The Rising Wedge in the downtrend indicates a continuation of the previous trend. It is formed when the prices are making Higher Highs and Higher Lows compared to the previous price movements.

It gives traders opportunities to average or take short positions in the market.

What is a Falling Wedge Pattern?

A falling wedge is formed by two converging trend lines when the stock’s prices have been falling for a certain period.

Before the line converges the buyers come into the market and as a result, the decline in prices begins to lose its momentum. This results in the breaking of the prices from the upper trend line.

Depending upon the location of the falling wedges indicates whether the trend will continue or reverse:

Falling Wedges in Uptrend

The Falling Wedge in the Uptrend indicates the continuation of an uptrend. It is formed when the prices are making Lower Highs and Lower Lows compared to the previous price movements.
