Falling Wedge Setup
Two converging downsloping trendlines with contracting volume — a wedge where each rally and pullback gets tighter. Despite the bearish-looking slope, the contraction signals exhaustion of supply. Resolves with an upside breakout.
Historical replay numbers are unavailable because the artifact is stale (source bars are 15 days old). The page does not substitute zeros or older results.
How this is measured →Setup Criteria
- › Both upper and lower trendlines slope downward
- › Lines converge — pattern narrows over time
- › Volume contracts as pattern matures
- › Often forms inside a larger uptrend (continuation)
Breakout above the upper trendline on volume.
Below the most recent low inside the wedge.
