RISING WEDGE PATTERN ( REVERSAL OR CONTINUATION )Reversal or Continuation Pattern
Rising Wedge
Prices are moving upward, forming higher highs and higher 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 downside. This means that you can look for potential selling opportunities.
IDENTIFICATION GUIDELINES
1. The Shape of The Rising wedge – Two price trendlines both sloping upwards, the upper one following higher highs and the lower one following higher lows. Both trendlines must slope upwards and eventually intersect.
2. Formation of The Rising Wedge – Prices should rise to hit the upper trendline at least three highs(1-3-5), then fall away. Prices should fall to the lower trendline at least twice(2-4), then rise again before a final breakout. When you see less than 3 swing highs and 2 swing lows between the upsloping trendlines, be cautious about it.
3. Duration of The Rising wedge- The Rising 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 rising wedge.
4. Volume inside The Rising Wedge – Volumes tends to be decreasing through the formation.
