Hey traders,
Rising wedge pattern is one of the most accurate price action patterns.
Being relatively simple to recognize, it is applied in various trading strategies.
āļøThe pattern itself signifies the exhaustion of bulls.
Even though the asset keeps growing in value, the price action legs contract forming a narrowing channel.
Being stuck between two contracting trend lines , one serving as support and one serving as resistance, the price forms a wedge pattern.
šThe trigger that we are looking for to sell the market is a bearish breakout of the support of the wedge (candle close below).
To not be caught by a false breakout, it is highly recommendable to wait for a bearish violation of the last higher low level as well.
Only then the wedge breakout is confirmed.
ā”ļøTrading the market aggressively, one opens a short position on spot just after the candle closes.
ā”ļøThe conservative trader will wait for a retest of the broken support of the wedge though for a safer entry.
āļøSafest stop will lie strictly above the highest wick within the wedge .
āļøInitial target will be based on the closest key structure support .
Learn to recognize this pattern and be disciplined to wait for its confirmed breakout. Only then a high trading performance will be achieved.
