The pattern is not absolutely there. It is almost there, but a bit short on some legs. You will be able to determine which pattern the chart more closely resembles by consulting the ThePatternSite.com chart pattern index and comparing a rising wedge pattern to an asymmetrical triangle pattern.

Neither. That is clearly a sideways move and it is neither a wedge or a symmetrical triangle.
Trade what you see. Don't try and fit patterns.
That chart means the market basically agrees where the price belongs based on current fundamentals. imho.

To determine whether the pattern is a symmetrical triangle or a rising wedge, it's essential to analyze the chart's trendlines and price action carefully:
- **Symmetrical Triangle:** This pattern is characterized by converging trendlines—one descending and one ascending—that come together at a point, indicating a period of consolidation. Typically, volume decreases as the pattern develops, and a breakout can occur in either direction, signaling potential continuation of the prior trend.
- **Rising Wedge:** This pattern features two converging trendlines, with both ascending but the upper trendline steeper than the lower. It often indicates a potential bearish reversal, especially if it forms after an uptrend, as price action becomes more compressed before a breakdown.
**Key considerations:**
- **Trendline slopes:** Check whether both trendlines are converging with upward slopes (rising wedge) or if one is ascending and the other descending (symmetrical triangle).
- **Volume:** Observe volume patterns—symmetrical triangles often see decreasing volume, while rising wedges may also show volume decline before a breakdown.
- **Breakout direction:** The pattern's breakout direction can provide clues—rising wedges typically break downward, whereas symmetrical triangles can break in either direction.
Without seeing the chart, I recommend plotting the trendlines carefully, noting their slopes and convergence point. If both lines are converging with upward slopes, it's likely a rising wedge. If one slopes up and the other down, forming a symmetrical shape, then it's a symmetrical triangle.
