Rising Wedge

What it is

In a rising wedge both highs and lows move up, but the lows rise faster, so the range narrows. Each push higher gains less ground.

It is read as bearish once a candle closes below the lower line.

How ClosedCandle detects it

• Built from the last 4–6 confirmed swing pivots, with at least 2 touches on each side, each within 0.5× ATR of its regression line.
• Both lines slope upward (neither is flat within 0.6× ATR over the pattern) and they converge by at least 20%.
• Confirmed by a close beyond the breakout line; invalidated by a close beyond the other line, or after 30 candles (sooner if the lines meet first). The measured stop is the last pivot on the opposite side.
• Only closed candles are used; a wick through a line never counts. Once recorded, the detection is never changed.
