Chart Analysis and Chart Pattern Recognition – Falling Wedge Pattern.

A falling wedge pattern is a triangle formation with noticeable slant to the downside. It represents the loss of the downside momentum on each successive low and has a bullish bias. The falling wedges pattern usually marks a reversal in a downtrend. In an uptrend, the falling wedge pattern is considered as a continuation pattern. As with other triangle formations, volume usually diminishes as price rise and then increases during the breakout.
Falling Wedge Screening page presents a list of stocks forming Falling Wedge Pattern.
Tips:
# 1
To confirm the loss of the downside momentum at the reversal point, see bullish divergence on technical indicators.
# 2 For the best results, chart patterns should be considered together with other technical analysis signals and technical trading techniques.
