Thanks for that link LG, however i disgree with the author here to a certain point.

>>>>The classic Descending Triangle illustrates the painful rollover from bull to bear market better than any other pattern.<<<<

all of these kind of patterns are congestion patterns and can break either way and the chart/volume can give some clues, however the example he gives on seek was a parabolic top with a much lower high, should have been recognized past tense as a five wave decline and by the time someone recogized that pattern it was late in the game to get short. At the time of the parabolic peek on Seek then I bought puts, however I wasn't smart enough at the time to recognize the 5 wave decline into the 20 area making a bottom.

I've seen a lot of declining wedges resolve bullishly, AAPL and SEEK recently were examples of that.

I think all congestion patterns produce optimal buying or shorting opportunities, but should always be managed with protective stops.
