I've been observing how BTC's price moves in very predictable patterns if you know where to look. One that works really well is the wedge pattern, and honestly, it's one of the most reliable when you learn to identify it properly.

Basically, a wedge is when you see two trend lines that get closer and closer, compressing the price into an increasingly narrow range. That’s the key: the compression. When the price is trapped like that, you know something big is about to happen. It either explodes upward or drops sharply. There’s no middle ground.

The way to identify them is quite straightforward. There are two main types. First is the ascending wedge, where both lines are rising but the support line rises faster than the resistance. This is where the typical bearish wedge comes in because, although everything is rising, the pattern usually breaks downward. It’s counterintuitive but works.

Then there’s the descending wedge, where both lines are falling but the resistance line falls faster. This one generally breaks upward, so it’s bullish.

Now, many people confuse wedges with triangles, and that can cost you money. The difference is simple: triangles have one flat (horizontal) line and one inclined line. They are more of a continuation pattern. Wedges have both lines inclined in the same direction, and they are reversal patterns. That’s the important part.

I personally find wedges quite reliable for predicting reversals if you read them correctly. But it also depends on whether you like trading reversals or if you prefer playing triangle breakouts. Both work; it just depends on your style.
