Bullish Flag

Bullish Flag PatternFlag Pattern is one of the most popular chart patterns, formed by price action, which is contained within a small rectangle or a channel in the shape of a flag. Flags are short-term continuation patterns that mark a small consolidation before the previous move resumes. A flag chart pattern is formed when the market consolidates in a narrow range after a sharp move. Usually a breakout from the flag is in the form of continuation of the prior trend. Flags give very relatively small risk and high and quick profits. # What is Bullish Flag Pattern? When the prices are in an uptrend a bullish flag pattern shows a slow consolidation lower after an aggressive uptrend. This indicates that there is more buying pressure moving the prices up than down and indicates that the momentum will continue in an uptrend. Traders wait for the price to break above the resistance of the consolidation after this pattern is formed to enter into the market. # Trading with Bullish Flag Pattern ? Traders can enter into a trade when the price breaks above the upper trend lines. It is formed when there is an increase in the demand that makes the prices to move up .When the demand is more than supply, price breaks outside the flag above the resistance and prices continue to move upwards. # Duration: Flags are short-term patterns that can last from 1 to 12 weeks. There is some debate on the timeframe and some consider 8 weeks to be pushing the limits for a reliable pattern. Ideally, these patterns will form between 1 and 4 weeks. Once a flag becomes more than 12 weeks old, it would be classified as a rectangle. The reliability of patterns that fall between 8 and 12 weeks is debatable. # Volume: Volume should be heavy during the breakout of flag upper boundary . #Stop Loss: A stop-loss can be placed outside the flag on the opposite side of the breakout.

BULLISH FLAG PATTERN EXPLAINED.Bullish flags are a continuation pattern found in stocks with a strong uptrend. As can be observed, the pattern resembles a flag on a pole. The vertical rise forms the pole and the following period of consolidation forms the flag. The flag can be a horizontal rectangle but mostly angles down from the pole. The focus should be more on the underlying psychology of the pattern than the shape. Despite the strong vertical rally, the stock refuses to drop much because the bulls are buying as many shares they can get their hands on. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Main characteristics of a flag pattern: 1. The trend before the appearance of the pattern. 2. The channel of consolidation. 3. The volume behavior. 4. The breakout. 5. The confirmation of price movement in the direction of the breakout. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Target and Volume: The target for a bull flag is calculated by measuring the length of the flag pole and projecting it from the breakout point. The volume starts to pick up towards the end of the consolidation range indicating the oncoming breakout. Then there is a huge increase in volume when the pole is being formed and the volume tapers off during the consolidation period. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stop Loss Options: 1. Longer term traders may place their stop loss below the entire flag. 2. A stricter option would be just below the consolidation are before the breakout. 3. The tightest option would be a two bar low trailing stop. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Thoughts: No one can know for sure which way the price will move, whether it will continue or reverse. One can follow the action of price, trade only the best setups and let the probabilities work out. While patterns may give false signals, bullish flags are generally reliable and effective. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Alert: Keep an eye out for price action unravelling currently. Price is pulling back to the 20 EMA, forming a consolidation, a flag of sorts. A continuation candle near the average with decent volumes could be the sign of a fresh move upwards. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Will be very grateful for a like and follow. :)
