What is a Bull Flag?
A bull flag is a continuation pattern. After a sharp upward move (the pole), price pauses and drifts slightly downward in a tight channel (the flag). This pullback is not a reversal — it's the market catching its breath before the next leg up.
Why Do They Form?
After a strong rally, early buyers take profits. This creates mild selling pressure, causing price to retrace. But new buyers see the dip as an opportunity. When demand overwhelms the profit-taking, price breaks out of the flag and continues higher.
How to Trade Them
The key is patience. Watch the resistance level at the top of the flag. When price decisively breaks above it, that's your signal. Enter too early during the consolidation and you're gambling. Enter too late after the breakout and you're chasing. Your job is to find the sweet spot.
Your Mission
Watch the chart. Identify the flag. Hit BUY at the right moment. The closer your entry is to the breakout level, the higher your score. Good luck, trader.
