Rising Wedge
A bearish pattern where price grinds higher between two up-sloping lines that converge — usually resolving to the downside.
A rising wedge has two converging trendlines that both slope up, with support rising faster than resistance. The advance narrows and loses momentum, a sign the uptrend is running out of buyers despite the higher highs.
A break below the lower trendline is the trigger. Like the falling wedge it can be a reversal (after an uptrend) or a continuation (within a downtrend); both lean bearish.
