I've noticed that many new traders don't quite understand how to identify wedges on charts, so let me explain this in a more practical way.

Basically, wedges are patterns where the price narrows between two inclined trend lines. There are two main types you should know. First is the bullish wedge, which forms when the price rises but with decreasing strength, getting trapped between a steeper support line and a gentler resistance line. This pattern usually precedes a sharp decline when it finally breaks the support. Then there's the descending wedge, which is the opposite, where the price falls but with less intensity each time. In this case, the resistance is steeper than the support, and typically the price jumps above the resistance with force.

The interesting part is that both are reversal patterns. The bullish wedge often indicates an upcoming bearish market, while the descending wedge signals that a bullish market is likely coming. If you look right now at assets like XRP, PEPE, or SHIB, you can find examples of these patterns forming. XRP is around $1.3453, PEPE is at 0.0000352, and SHIB is at 0.0000602, but the important thing is not just the price but how it moves within those lines.

The key is to recognize when the price is losing momentum within those two inclined lines. When that happens, you know something is about to explode in one direction. That’s why experienced traders look for these formations—they give you a clear idea of when to expect sharp movements. It’s one of those patterns that once you see it, you start noticing everywhere.
