I´m sorry Chip but a rising wedge is a BEARISH continuation pattern and
thus indicates a continuation of the trend lower after a bearish
breakout of the pattern. An upside breakout out of a rising wedge
pattern has no specific meaning. The big difference between a wedge and
triangle patterns is that in a wedge pattern the support and resistance
lines have the same slope (in a rising wedge that is a positive slope).
Good luck,
