The amplitude of the cyclical variations within a broadening wedge increases over time, thus potentially highlighting volatility clusters in higher time-frames. A broadening falling wedge follows the same scenario structure but with sellers instead of buyers. This scenario eventually repeats itself with increased volume, causing impulses and retracements of higher magnitude reinforcing a positive feedback loop until the price is judged overbought even by initial buyers. This allows the creation of a new impulse, with only a divergence left. These participants can be composed of initial buyers, accumulating positions, or late traders seeing the potential to buy at a better price. However, before the decline reaches the previously established low, certain market participants buy again. Contrarian traders judge the price to be trading above its intrinsic value, selling and thus creating a decline in prices. Momentum traders follow the initial impulse further pushing prices up. The cause of an ascending broadening wedge is a surge from an initial buying impulse, driving the price higher. Causes Of Broadening Wedgesīulkowski offers a description of the causes of broadening wedges in the market in terms of the market participant's behavior.

Selling directly after a partial rise would allow for higher profits. For a broadening ascending wedge the measure rule would place our take profit at the lowest low inside the formation.
