FALLING WEDGE PATTERN ( REVERSAL OR CONTINUATION)
Reversal or Continuation Pattern
Falling Wedge
Prices are moving downwards, forming lower highs and lower lows, but the price is confined within two lines which get closer together to create a pattern. This indicates a slowing of momentum and it usually precedes a reversal to the upside. This means that you can look for potential buying opportunities.
IDENTIFICATION GUIDELINES
1. The Shape of The Falling wedge –
Two price trendlines both sloping downwards, the upper one following lower highs and the lower one following lower lows. Both trendlines must slope downwards and eventually intersect.
2. Formation of The Falling Wedge –
Prices should hit the upper trendline at least twice(2-4), then fall away. Prices should fall to the lower trendline at least three lows(1-3-5), then rise up and be giving a final breakout. When you see less than 3 swing lows and 2 swing highs between the downsloping trendlines, be cautious about it.
3. Duration of The Falling wedge-
The Falling Wedge has a minimum duration of 3 weeks and it rarely exceeds 3 or 4 months long. Anything less than 3 weeks of duration likely to be a pennant formation, not a falling wedge.
4. Volume inside The Falling Wedge –
Volumes tends to be decreasing through the formation.
5. Pre-mature or False Breakout –
Because volume is usually low in The Falling Wedge formation, it takes very little activity to bring about an erratic and false movement in price, talking the price outside of trendlines.
6. Breakout –
Price closing above the upper downward sloping trendline confirms the breakout.
