## Quick Answer

Trade falling wedges: narrowing lower lows, bullish exhaustion, and breakout-to-upside setups.

## Key Takeaways

- Bullish compression: A falling wedge has both trendlines pointing down, but the lower line falls more slowly than the upper — the move is narrowing.
- Execution: Long on the breakout above the upper wedge trendline with volume confirmation.
- Context matters: Falling wedges in uptrends (continuation) are high-probability.

## Bullish compression

A falling wedge has both trendlines pointing down, but the lower line falls more slowly than the upper — the move is narrowing. Each new low takes more effort. This signals seller exhaustion. Falling wedges that form at the end of a downtrend or at a major support often resolve upward with sharp breakouts.

## Execution

Long on the breakout above the upper wedge trendline with volume confirmation. Stop below the most recent low. Target: wedge height projected up from breakout. The measured move often carries price back to the start of the wedge.

## Context matters

Falling wedges in uptrends (continuation) are high-probability. Falling wedges at major lows (reversals) have higher target payoff but slightly lower hit rates. Both work; just know which one you're trading.

## FAQ

### Are falling wedges the best reversal pattern?

Among candlestick patterns, yes — the statistical edge is one of the strongest. But "best" means "has an edge" not "always works." Filter ruthlessly and size accordingly.
