wedge and technical analysis

Hi phill, if the top line is horizontal and the bottom line is ascending then it is an ascending triangle and repeated attacks on the horizontal resistance level will reduce the number of sellers at that level to breaking point, so the theory goes. It doesn't always work out that way and that is not a particularly good example as it's too drawn out which suggests the sellers are strong while the buyers are struggling to lift price back up each time.

Also a good rule of thumb is that for a Triangle to be valid it should be broken no later than 2/3 of the way along the length, otherwise it becomes an unreliable set up.  The longer term the chart the more reliable the Triangle (i.e. Daily chart is much stronger than 1 hour chart, true of most technical analysis actually).

Interesting. I thought higher highs meant it was going to try and breakout to the upside? But Casey it sounds like your saying this is a bearish signal?

Correct, repeated attacks on the horizontal level will usually over-run all the orders waiting there but I don't see this as a triangle, the structure is poor and the attacks on the horizontal are weak and beaten down with strength. There is probably a stronger case for drawing another horizontal at the grey line on the 3 equal lows.

    • Insightful write up. Personally, I use top down analysis to mark my pivot points and i prefer to call them zones. As seen from my ETH chart below, i have been swinging the bullish ride with my top down analysis. 
    • One exchange that checks the box interms of my own requirement is bitgetglobal. The exchange is reputable for been compliant with regulations globally, its copy trading is the largest with over 100k elite traders and 540k followers, its trading fees is amongst the lowest in the industry. The one area i feel they need to improve on is their P2P. This area is lagging compared to that of Binance and Bybit.
    • Here's the next set of TIME CYCLES - I've had these dates on my charts since 2015 ish Please note this is just to show you that the markets are not random and we can TIME them - the AIM of this thread is to SHOW you that dates calculated years in advance can be significant These Time Cycles are not all of them, just the ones I wanted to show you, which are the INTERNAL cycles of a bigger Time Cycle - some will hit and some won't - REMEMBER, lots of active cycles are ALL operating at the same time Notice that there's not a TC for the 2022 high - the reason is that there was one, it's just not part of this series of TC's I'm showing you - Then when we look backwards in 2034, you'll be able to see market price action around the dates and you will KNOW these are not random dates thrown on a chart in the hope of hitting - because If you are ignore the latter dates (not yet shown) in the cycle, then you will come a cropper and when Investments are concerned that will mean LOSING lots of your money I'm still using the screenshot taken in Oct 2020 - Once we complete 2025, I'll update the chart with price data and take a screen shot from then on for the next cycles The THICK BLACK line is the mid-point of the cycle, which in the grand scheme of things "should / is expected to be" a significant LOW point when viewed back in time from 2034! - It WILL NOT be a major low, so don't expect a humungous price crash to it, it will NOT be how you are imagining it in your head right now Notice that most of those cycles are "LINKED" that's because they are the same cycle which repeats THT
