Flag Patterns

Flag patterns are trend continuation patterns traders use for technical analysis and future price movement prediction.

They are created mostly when the market price is ranging or in consolidation mode for example, a bull flag pattern.

Flags signify the continuation of the immediate market trend.

However, we have two types of flag patterns and these are the Bear flag and the Bull flag.

The flag is the ranging or consolidating stage of the market price structure where buyers/bulls or sellers/bears fight for control.

This flag formation forms in an orderly or diagonally symmetric pull-back structure.

Bear flag pattern

The Bear flag pattern develops in a bearish trend or when a bearish trend is about to be formed and when sellers/bears are in control.

In the image below, the initial bearish flagpole (length a) is normally characterized by an impulsive bearish price-move before a narrow consolidation stage.

The bear flag pattern also shows a market sentiment where the market supply is more than the market demand.

Length a is usually equals to length b. Traders will sell as the price breakout of the flag, with stop-loss placed a few pips above the top of the narrow price range.

Take profit for the bearish flag trade is usually placed at point b (same distance as the flagpole a).

Bull flag pattern

The bull flag pattern forms mostly in a bullish trend or when a bullish trend is about to be formed and when buyers/bulls are in control of the market.

In the image below, the initial bullish flagpole (length a) is normally characterized by an impulsive bullish price move before a narrow consolidation stage.

The bull flag pattern shows a market sentiment where the market demand is more than the market supply.

Length a is usually equals to length b. Traders will buy as the price breakout of the flag, with stop-loss placed a few pips below the bottom of the narrow price range.

Take profit for the bullish flag trade is usually placed at point b (same distance as the flagpole a).

 

To identify the flag formation, the price needs to move in a narrow range between two parallel lines in a slanting manner (tilted rectangle).

Traders often confuse Flag pattern with Rectangular Pattern, as the latter moves in a horizontal direction, while the two parallel lines are drawn horizontally and the range is wider.

It is essential that traders wait patiently for the flag to form completely.
