Technical Analysis Price Patterns Part 6

Wedge Formations (Continued)

Rising Wedge Reversal Pattern

The rising wedge exists as a reversal pattern in a rising trend and as a continuation pattern in a falling trend.

Special offer: "Capturing Profit with technical Analysis"

Rising wedge reversal pattern

The duration of the wedge should be a minimum of 20 bars; with fewer than 20 bars, it is considered a pennant.

 

Breaking out of a rising wedge is generally a bearish signal (figure 4.68).

 

It is rare for the price to break to the upper side of the rising wedge, although it can happen.

 

 



Figure 4.68: Rising wedge reversal pattern.

Rising Wedge Continuation Pattern

A rising wedge continuation pattern in a falling trend is a price reaction to the down-move. 

Rising wedge continuation pattern

 

The chance for a big profit is less for a rising wedge continuation pattern than for a rising wedge reversal pattern because part of the down-move is already history (figure 4.69).

Pay attention to the rare rising wedge after the bottom of a downtrend, as in figure 4.70.

Here the rising wedge probably is the first reaction after a longer-term downtrend. The breakout to the lower side is most likely a temporary reaction against the new longer-term up-move.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
