Bullish Flag Chart Pattern

A Flag Bullish abides by a sharp or vertical rise in prices and it consist of two parallel trend lines that build a rectangular flag shape.

A continuation chart pattern is called the Bullish Flag Pattern, and this is believed to be the most powerful and systematically reliable pattern in trading. This is a continuation kind of pattern that stands for a brief pause with an existing uptrend. This typically happens in the middle of a huge rally.

The "Flagpole" is the key characteristics. It is initially formed by a powerful and continuous price action heading in one direction, when the demand slows down, the flag pattern builds on top of the flagpole.

Prices will gradually move downward but in a fixed trading band. This usually is a channel with parallel sides.

Sometimes when the higher trend line has built along on a minimum of 2 lower highs, traders plot a parallel line on the most recent low in the rising pattern, this will give the flag pattern.

Upon the confirmation of the pattern, traders should enter the trade after the price break out on the upper trend line, and toward the direction of the former trend.

The proper place for a break would be merely below the lower trend line; therefore this will give the price adequate space to move within the bounds of the pattern. Traders do not want to be contained out before the patterns fully developed.

The pattern should stand contradicted if prices close under the lower trend line within the channel for a significant amount of time.

To get the potential target by calculation, measure the height of the flagpole. The distance will be the projected upwards from the point of the price breaks out from the upper trend line. This will give the minimum target; in most cases it is exceeded.

After the breakouts happen, prices must move in momentum and advance the projected target quickly. After the price begins to rise to the upper trend line, wise traders should begin preparing for making the trade.

This is now the time to calculate the target by getting the length of the flagpole and then add to the breakout point of the existing channel.

Again, price rallies with much momentum and attains the calculated target. Therefore, this pattern provides a reliable and high-profitability trade with easy trade management and good returns.

Traders can also make use of their favorite indicator to confirm the breakout.
