The Key to Telling Rising and Falling Wedges Apart > Market briefings

Rising and falling wedges are distinguished by two trend lines that slope in the same direction while the gap between them narrows. Rather than the conventional directional reading, the process of confirming the preceding trend, the actual breakout direction, and momentum matters more.

Key points to check
- Check that the two boundary lines slope in the same direction and actually converge.
- Do not treat the conventional reading of the rising wedge and the falling wedge as a confirmed signal.
- If there is no boundary breakout and no follow-up close, hold off on judging the pattern.
