Falling wedge pattern: how to identify and trade it
A falling wedge forms when price makes lower highs and lower lows, but the range contracts as the two trendlines converge. The upper trendline falls faster than the lower one, showing sellers are losing momentum. Although price is drifting down, the structure hints that downside energy is drying up. In technical analysis, that compression is the tell: once buyers step in, price can break upward decisively. Early in the wedge, sellers remain active, pushing price lower.

Trump, Xi Expected To Extend Trade Truce At Beijing Summit - SCMP
SCMP: Trump and Xi to extend trade truce at April Beijing summit US and Chinese officials are expected to use an early-April Beijing summit between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping to extend the bilateral trade truce reached in South Korea last year, according to the South China Morning Post. The report says policymakers are discussing rolling back some tariffs and export controls for up to a year, building on the October Busan understanding that eased a period of escalating tit-for-tat measures. The October truce was struck after months of intensifying trade conflict that included triple-digit retaliatory tariffs and a broad Chinese boycott of US agricultural goods for much of 2025, SCMP reports. Since the reprieve, China has resumed purchases of American soybeans a politically important US crop and additional near-term purchase commitments are said to be central to what officials see as a realistic, bankable summit outcome. For Washington, deliverables matter. The SCMP report frames the talks as an attempt to stabilise economic ties and deliver short-term wins ahead of the US midterm elections in November, with Trump under pressure to show progress while managing broader strategic tensions. Trump has publicly flagged soybean buying as a potential outcome following a recent call with Xi, aligning with the idea that Beijing may lean on commodity purchases as a relatively low-friction confidence-building tool. Operationally, SCMP says preparations point to an early-April trip, with March 31 cited as an initial arrival date under consideration and a bilateral meeting in the first week of April as part of a visit lasting about three days. If the extension is agreed, markets are likely to read it as a volatility dampener near term but not a full reset given the truce appears informal and subject to political timelines on both sides.
