In this paper we study the birational geometry of $X$, a projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ blown up at $s$ general points. We obtain a characterization of a special class of subvarieties, which we call Weyl $r$-planes, each of them being swept out by one $(n-r)$-moving curve class. For Mori dream spaces $X$, we unify different previous approaches, by reinterpreting the description of the Mori chamber decomposition of the effective cone in terms of these curve classes; in this case all relevant orbits are finite. For general $s$, we prove that Weyl $r$-planes are infinite and continue to appear as stable base locus. This yields the definition of the Weyl chamber decomposition of the pseudoeffective cone of divisors, that is a coarsening of its Mori chamber decomposition, when the latter can be defined. We prove that the combinatorics of such chamber decomposition obeys the Weyl group action on curves. We conjecture that for $s=n+4$ the Weyl and the Mori chamber decompositions coincide., Comment: 35 pages
