Waves the clam before the Storm

As such, the falling wedge can be explained as the “calm before the storm”. The consolidation phase is used by the buyers to regroup and attract new buying interest, which will be used to defeat the bears and push the price action further higher.

Hence, a falling wedge is an important technical formation that signals that the correction, or consolidation, has just ended as the asset’s price left the wedge to the upside and, in most cases, the continuation of the overall trend is taking place.
