Falling Wedge
A bullish pattern where price contracts between two down-sloping lines, with the move usually resolving to the upside.
A falling wedge has two converging trendlines that both slope down, but the upper (resistance) line falls faster than the lower (support) line. The narrowing, fading decline signals selling pressure is drying up even as price drifts lower.
A break above the upper trendline on rising volume is the trigger. A falling wedge can be a reversal (after a downtrend) or a continuation (a pullback within an uptrend); both lean bullish.
