What is Falling Wedge?

Wedges form when the prices of a financial instrument move within a narrowing range, angled either up or down. Whereas triangles are formed by the price moving sideways, wedges can make significant progress either up or down.

In many cases, when the market is trending, a wedge is developed on charts. This wedge could be either rising or falling. Wedges can also appear at the end of a bullish or bearish trend. When the pattern completes, and the price breaks out of the wedge, it is usually in the opposite direction of the wedge and hence called as a reversal pattern. There are mainly two types of wedge patterns either rising or falling wedge. A falling wedge is generally considered bullish and is usually found in a downtrend.

In the falling wedge where price is contained by two descending trend lines that converge because the upper trend line is steeper than the lower trend line. In other words, the highs are falling faster than the lows. These wedges tend to break upwards.
