Wedgebreakout

SHIBA pressure building into wedgeSHIBA INU, relatively new coin and "meme coin" has potential to break out of this wedge and range it has been stuck in for some time. With BTC and ETH starting to run, I think the altcoins and bigger named small cap coins will begin to run as well, from FOMO, meme potential, and just more and more people entering the crypto space. I will be entering with a small position at this level, waiting for the break of the trendline and the 618 fib level. Targets: 1) 0.000035, the previous high -> around 25% 2) the 1.272 fib around 0.000039 -> around 40% 3) 1.618 fib at 0.000044 -> around 55-60%

USDCNY Likely to Rebound From the 23.6% Fibonacci The price action of the USDCNY pair has been range-trading since the 16th of July, as underpinned by the ADX indicator. Bearish pressure has been slowly accumulating over the same period, which is illustrated by the current reading of the Stochastic RSI indicator. The price action is likely to reach a new dip at the 23.6 per cent Fibonacci retracement level, which is the closest psychologically significant support level. A bullish rebound can be expected to occur there, given the current development of a Descending Wedge pattern. The latter represents a classic trend reversal pattern. The first major target for the renewed uptrend would be the descending trend line (in red) just above the 38.2 per cent Fibonacci.

Smooth Love Potion (SLP), low is set and looking for +500%After its initial launch on Binance SLP has been regularly dropping for weeks. - has reached oversold on several timeframes - has reached new all time low - just broke out from huge descending wedge with big volume - Price and Volume are showing big bullish divergence target of the next price action is top of descending wedge, more than x6 of current price. May take some weeks to be reached. this post is for educational purposes and not trading advice. do your own research.

What are Falling and Rising Wedge Patterns?What Is the Wedge Pattern and Its Common Characteristics? 1. Wedge patterns have converging trend lines that come to an apex with a distinguishable upside or downside slant. a. Wedge with an upside slant is called a rising wedge b. Wedge with downside slant is called falling wedge 2. It has declining volumes as the pattern progresses. 3. It breaks out from one of the trend lines. Why We Should Pay Attention to Wedge Patterns? Some studies suggest that a wedge pattern will breakout towards a reversal rather than a continuation more often than two-thirds of the time. Therefore as the rule of thumb, people generally treat a falling wedge as a bullish pattern and a rising wedge as a bearish pattern, especially a falling wedge would be a more reliable reversal indicator than a rising wedge. Since we know a wedge pattern has a higher probability to reverse and due to the fact that the price of wedge pattern converges to a smaller area, we can trade the reversal set up with a relatively close stop loss to its entry price, which provides us with a good trading opportunity with a decent Risk:Reward ratio. Examples of a Bullish Rising Wedge and Bearish Falling Wedge. Sadly, there is nothing that works 100% in trading. Not every rising or falling wedge will reverse as one might expect. Every trader must properly manage their risk by setting stop losses and not just trading based on price patterns. Below are two examples. Bullish Rising Wedge (ETHUSDT during 15/NOV/20 - 28/DEC/20) In the early stages of the epic 20-21 bull market, if traders blindly treat the rising wedge as a bearish signal and trade accordingly, they would pay a heavy price. Bearish Falling Wedge (LTCUSD during 14/AUG/18 - 14/NOV/18) On the contrary, in the late stage of the 2018 bear market, any trader who blindly trades the falling wedge to bet on a reversal would also learn a hard lesson.

Broadening Wedges - Advanced AnalysisIn our previous post in this series about chart patterns we described the characteristics, rules, and causes of triangle patterns (if you haven't seen it, see the related idea below). In this post, we perform an advanced analysis of broadening wedges patterns. We provide a description of each pattern and its implications. We also review the literature in order to find their deterministic cause. 1. Broadening Wedges Broadening wedges are characterized by price variations laying within one support and resistance, both having the same direction and broadening over time. As such the apex of the support/resistance in a broadening wedge is located to the left. Broadening wedges must not be confused with other broadening formations. While they all have a broadening characteristic they can have different identification rules Broadening wedges are classified depending on the direction of the support/resistance. 1.1 Ascending Ascending broadening wedges mostly occur during uptrends with rising local maxima (higher highs) forming an upward sloping resistance and raising local minimas (higher lows) forming an upward slopping support. The slope of both the support & the resistance should be significantly different from 0. Bulkowski suggests the price needs to test the support and resistance three times each. Additionally, the resistance should be steeper than the support. Volume tends to increase during the formation of such pattern. Ascending broadening wedges have a bearish bias with breakouts mostly occurring downward. Downward breakouts are often followed by a decrease in price. Example of an ascending broadening wedge followed by a downward breakout on SOLUSDT 4h. 1.2 Descending Descending broadening wedges mostly occur during downtrends with declining local maxima (lower highs) forming a downward sloping resistance and declining local minimas (lower lows) forming a downward slopping support. The slope of both the support & the resistance should be significantly different from 0. Similarly to ascending broadening wedges, Bulkowski suggests the price needs to test the support and resistance three times each. Additionally, the support should be steeper than the resistance. Volume tends to increase during the formation of such pattern. Descending broadening wedges have a bullish bias with breakouts mostly occurring upward. Upward breakouts are often followed by an increase in price. Example of an ascending broadening wedge followed by a downward breakout on AVAX 1h. 2. Partial Rises/Declines Partial rises/declines are phenomena described by Bulkowski in broadening formations and are described as being common. Partial rises/declines often indicate the direction of a breakout. Partial rises commonly occur in broadening ascending wedges, price bounces off the support, moves towards the resistance without reaching it, and go back to the support. We can expect a potential downward breakout after that. Note that a partial rise always starts from the test of the support. Partial declines commonly occur in broadening descending wedges. The price bounces off the resistance, moves towards the support without reaching it, and then goes back to the resistance where we can expect a potential breakout upwards. Note that a partial decline always starts from the test of the resistance. Partial rises and declines can offer a better price to buy/sell instead of waiting for a breakout. 3. Measure Rule The measure rule for broadening wedges allows us to determine the position of a take-profit/stop-loss. For a broadening ascending wedge the measure rule would place our take profit at the lowest low inside the formation. Selling directly after a partial rise would allow for higher profits. For a broadening descending wedge the measure rule would place our take profit at the highest high inside the formation. Selling directly after a partial decline would allow for higher profits. Certain analysts close trades caused by partial rises/declines when the price reaches the support/resistance of the wedge, opening a new position in the case of a breakout while using the metric rule for setting their take profit. 4. Causes Of Broadening Wedges Bulkowski offers a description of the causes of broadening wedges in the market in terms of the market participant's behavior. The cause of an ascending broadening wedge is a surge from an initial buying impulse, driving the price higher. Momentum traders follow the initial impulse further pushing prices up. Contrarian traders judge the price to be trading above its intrinsic value, selling and thus creating a decline in prices. However, before the decline reaches the previously established low, certain market participants buy again. These participants can be composed of initial buyers, accumulating positions, or late traders seeing the potential to buy at a better price. This allows the creation of a new impulse, with only a divergence left. This scenario eventually repeats itself with increased volume, causing impulses and retracements of higher magnitude reinforcing a positive feedback loop until the price is judged overbought even by initial buyers. A broadening falling wedge follows the same scenario structure but with sellers instead of buyers. 5. Other Observations The amplitude of the cyclical variations within a broadening wedge increases over time, thus potentially highlighting volatility clusters in higher time-frames. Another interesting observation that can be made is that prices within a broadening wedge are subject to heteroscedasticity (variability is not constant, it increases inside a broadening wedge), while prices inside a channel are homoscedastic (variability remains constant). This concept is inherent to regression analysis. 6. Conclusion In this post we described broadening wedge patterns in depth. We have highlighted partial rises/declines as well as how the measure rule applies to such patterns. We then focused on showing how market participants act during the formation of broadening wedges. Note that unlike triangles patterns we did not find a significant amount of studies mentioning such patterns, nor any agent models developed to describe their occurrence. 7.

+1100% TEL Descending Wedge Breakout Within Next 2 Weeks?History KUCOIN:TELUSDT is 15 days away from pinching between the bottom and top resistance that formed on March 7, 2021, which occurred just two breakouts ago. The most recent breakout took 14 days to complete and resulted in a +1,077% gain. Potential If history repeats itself for a 3rd time in a row, we'd be looking at a +1,105% gain by October 10th, if TEL were to break out today. Supportive Observations Price action is within a descending wedge and has been knocking on the upper trendline, which is bullish. RSI is at 42, which is the level it's been at immediately prior to numerous other breakouts. The blue MACD line is curling up towards the signal line, and the red histogram bars are decreasing in volume, which is bullish. Volume has been descending below the MA. Waiting for a breakthrough and retest of the top trendline for support would be the safest time to secure a position.
