What does a wedge signify?


A wedge is a potentially short-term bearish signal within a longer-term bullish chart.

What we look for to trade these is a breakdown because the breakdown gives us a very clear target. They’re one of my favorite patterns to trade because when you get a breakdown through the interior trendline that forms the wedge in the first place, you have a natural target: the bottom of the trend channel that the stock or asset was already in. That’s why wedges are useful.
