Both support and resistance slope down, but support flattens faster, so the lines converge. A close above the upper trendline, ideally on rising volume, completes the pattern — as a reversal after a downtrend or a continuation within an uptrend.
Traders buy the breakout above the upper line, stop below the recent low, and target the height of the wedge at its widest projected from the breakout.
