Wedges are similar to triangles in that these patterns are formed between converging support and resistance lines. However, where the support and resistance lines in a triangle have one positive and one negative slope, the support and resistance lines of a wedge would both have either a positive or negative slope. Wedges with positive slopes are called Rising Wedges and ones with negative slopes are Falling Wedges.

The resistance of a falling wedge is the key level for entry triggers.  A breakout triggers the longs (reversal entry) while a continued push lower through the support of the bottom downtrend line is confirmation of a push lower.  This pattern is also perfect for corrective entries in a confirmed uptrend.
