Falling Wedge
LONGThe tell: Highs and lows both falling but converging — each push down travels less.
- What it looks like
- A downtrend whose highs and lows both fall but converge — each push down travels less, and the candles shrink.
- Why it works
- Sellers are still in control but visibly losing force; the shrinking range shows momentum bleeding out. The first real bid snaps the upper line.
- Entry
- Break of the upper (falling) trendline.
- Stop
- Below the wedge's final low.
- Target
- The origin of the wedge — where the decline started.
- How it fails
- Converging patterns break both ways — no trade until the upper line actually breaks.
