Note
Referencing Charles Bulkowski's Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns regarding the Ascending Broadening Wedge, Bulkowski writes: "Volume tends to rise over time...an interesting pattern that is key in identifying the start of a new price trend: the partial rise...A partial rise is when prices lift off the lower trendline but curl around and head down before coming near the top trendline. WHEN A PARTIAL RISE OCCURS, A DOWNSIDE BREAKOUT FOLLOWS 84% OF THE TIME...ONCE PRICES PIERCE THE BOTTOM TRENDLINE, THEY DROP RAPIDLY."
Note
Bulkowski recommends the Measure Rule for trading this formation: "Use the lowest price in the formation as the minimum price move to expect."
Other notes from Bulkowski to consider:
"There is high volume on the breakout day, as expected, and it measures 65% above the prior day."
"If you blindly invest in an ascending broadening wedge, there is a 76% likelihood that the formation will break downward...that still leaves 24% that either move up or move horizontally...it pays to wait for a confirmed breakout before investing."
Note
Currently watching this potential Diamond Bottom forming. It does have the corresponding volume profile for the pattern...
Would be looking for high-er volume on the breakout. This pattern has a 13% failure rate with a typical rise of 15%-35%, with a 43& chance of Throwbacks...
This pattern does not invalidate the Ascending Broadening Wedge until a clear break of the Wedge's lower trendline is held
