Traders should also look for negative divergence between a popular indicator, such as the relative strength index (RSI), and price. Price failing to reach the upper trend line frequently is one such warning sign. Breakdowns: Before traders take a short position when price breaks below the lower channel line of an ascending channel, they should look for other signs that show weakness in the pattern.For example, traders could require that a significant increase in volume accompanies the breakout and that there is no overhead resistance on higher time frame charts. It is prudent to use other technical indicators to confirm the breakout. Breakouts: Traders could buy a stock when its price breaks above the upper channel line of an ascending channel.For example, if a trader places a $5 stop, the width of the ascending channel should be a minimum of $10 to allow for a 1:2 risk/reward ratio. RISING WEDGE IN AN UPTREND (BEARISH) The rising wedge put a stop to this uptrend. In fact, these good volume readings were able to sustain themselves during the move higher. Traders who use this strategy should ensure there is enough distance between the pattern’s parallel lines to set an adequate risk/reward ratio. After waning volume in the wedge, theres a good increase on the breakout. A stop-loss order should be placed slightly below the lower trend line to prevent losses if the security’s price abruptly reverses. Support and Resistance: Traders could open a long position when a stock's price reaches the ascending channel’s lower trend line and exit the trade when the price nears the upper channel line.Traders recognize the rising wedge as a consolidation phase after a medium to. It is the opposite of the bullish falling wedge pattern that occurs at the end of a downtrend. It suggests a potential reversal in the trend. To limit potential loss when price suddenly goes in the wrong direction, consider placing a stop order to buy back a short position or sell a put option at or above the breakout price.Image by Sabrina Jiang © Investopedia 2021 Trading the Ascending Channel The rising wedge is a bearish chart pattern found at the end of an upward trend in financial markets. Formation height is the difference between the highest high and lowest low within the pattern. To identify an exit, compute the target price for a Rising Wedge formation, take the highest high as the downward Breakout point and subtract the formation height to it. Consider selling a security short or buying a put option on downward breakout. If the price breaks out from the bottom pattern boundary, day traders and swing traders should trade with the trend DOWN. There is a distinct possibility that market participants will sell out, and the price can move down with big volumes (leading up to the breakout). This pattern is commonly associated with directionless markets since the contraction (narrowing) of the market range signals that neither bulls nor bears are in control. Unlike Ascending Triangle patterns, both lines need to have a distinct upward slope, with the bottom line having a steeper slope. The Rising Wedge pattern forms when prices appear to spiral upward, with higher highs (1, 3, 5) and higher lows (2,4) creating two up-sloping trend lines that intersect to form a triangle.
