Flagpole & Breakout – Bullish Continuation Setup🔎 Overview
The Flagpole & Breakout setup is a bullish continuation pattern that forms during strong uptrends.
It represents a temporary pause in momentum where prices consolidate after a sharp upward move (flagpole) — before continuing higher.
This pattern highlights a healthy market structure: strong impulse → controlled pullback → renewed breakout.

📔 Concept
• The pattern starts with a sharp upward surge (Flagpole) driven by strong buying momentum.
• After this, price enters a consolidation phase that resembles a small symmetrical triangle or a downward-sloping flag.
• Buyers and sellers reach temporary equilibrium before the next impulsive leg.
• A breakout above the upper trendline confirms the continuation of the prior uptrend. ____________________________________________________________
📌 How to Use
✅ Validation → When price closes above the upper trendline, confirming bullish continuation.
❌ Devalidation → If price breaks below the lower support line, pattern fails.

👀 Observation
The flag pattern reflects market psychology — after a surge, traders take profits, causing short-term consolidation.
Once sellers are absorbed, a breakout occurs, attracting new momentum buyers and triggering trend continuation.
High volume during the breakout adds confirmation and strength to the setup.
