📖 What a falling wedge is

Both highs and lows are falling, but the highs are falling faster, so the range narrows as price works down.

Why it forms

Selling is still winning but by smaller and smaller margins, and rallies stop getting sold as hard. The compression usually ends with buyers taking the range back quickly.

🎯 Trigger

A close above the falling upper boundary.

📏 Target

Project the widest height of the wedge up from the breakout level.

🛑 Invalidation

A close below the lower boundary, which says the decline has reaccelerated rather than exhausted.
❓ Falling Wedge FAQ
Is a falling wedge bullish?
Yes, it is normally read as bullish — one of the few patterns that is bullish while price is still falling. The evidence is the narrowing range, which says sellers are losing their edge.
How is a falling wedge different from a descending channel?
The channel's lines are parallel and the decline is steady; the wedge's lines converge and the decline is decelerating. A channel is a trend, a wedge is a trend ending.
Does a falling wedge always break upward?
No. It breaks upward more often than not, which is why it is labelled bullish, but a falling wedge inside a severe downtrend can break down and keep going. Wait for the close above the upper line.

How these are found: swing highs and lows are picked out with a percentage ZigZag on daily and weekly candles, and the boundaries are line-fitted through those swings. A formation is only published when the fit is tight, the boundaries are actually touched several times, and the price action stays inside them. The most recent swing is provisional, so a forming pattern can still change shape on the next candle, and patterns whose break already played out are dropped rather than shown as fresh. Levels and targets are the textbook measured moves, not forecasts. This is auto-generated market data, not investment advice.
