Forex Rising Wedge Chart Pattern

Written by Aboutcurrency

At it's most basic level, Rising Wedge formations are bearish continuation patterns and look similar to triangle patterns (ascending triangle, descending triangle, and symmetrical) because of the converging trendlines( support and resistance) and narrowing price ranges(forms a cone).

Rising wedges slope up and have a bearish bias, they are usually found in down-trending markets.

However, they can become a reversal pattern if the currency pair price move above the upper (resistance) trendline.
