Understand Bear Flag
A bear flag is a sharp downward move followed by a smaller pause or rebound. A break beneath that pause may suggest continuation. A short trade benefits if price falls and loses if it rises.
What would you decide?
Price dips below the pause, then returns inside it. The first move lower did not hold. Reassess the idea instead of treating every downward candle as confirmation.
Your practice mission
Find the downward move, the pause, and its lower edge. Practise distinguishing a developing breakdown from a failed one.
