"BULL FLAG"
Hello!
I start my EDUCATION Lessons with a "Bull Flag" chart pattern!
A flag pattern is a trend continuation pattern, appropriately named after it’s visual similarity to a flag on a flagpole. A “flag” is composed of an explosive strong price move that forms the flagpole, followed by an orderly and diagonally symmetrical pullback, which forms the flag. When the trendline resistance on the flag breaks, it triggers the next leg of the trend move and the stock proceeds ahead. What separates the flag from a typical breakout or breakdown is the pole formation representing almost a vertical and parabolic initial price move. Flag patterns can be bullish or bearish .
This pattern starts with a strong almost vertical price spike that takes the short-sellers completely off-guard as they cover in a frenzy as more buyers come in off the fence (Flagpole). Eventually, the price peaks and forms an orderly pullback where the highs and lows are literally parallel to each other, forming a tilted rectangle . Upper and lower trendlines are plotted to reflect the parallel diagonal nature. The breakout forms when the upper resistance trend line breaks again as prices surge back towards the high of the formation and explode through to trigger another breakout and uptrend move. The sharper the spike on the flagpole, the more powerful the bull flag can be.
Additionally, this consolidation will retrace a small portion of the previous uptrend. If the retracement becomes deeper than 50%, it may not be a flag pattern . Ideally, we’ll see the retracement be less than 38%. Since this is a continuation pattern, we look for prices to break higher with a length equal to the size of the flagpole.
The tighter the flag - the more powerful it is!
