FLAG

🚩 Bull Flags VS Bear Flags🚩What is a Flag Pattern? A flag pattern is a commonly observed technical analysis pattern used to identify potential continuation of current market trends. It is characterized by a period of consolidation, where the market experiences a relatively small range of movement, following a significant price movement. This pattern is formed as the market returns to a state of equilibrium, following a large move. The flag pattern is considered a continuation pattern, as it often indicates that the market will continue to move in the same direction as the preceding trend, once the flag breaks out. This breakout typically occurs when the price of the security breaches the upper or lower boundary of the flag, and it is usually accompanied by an increase in trading volume. 📈📉The difference between a Bull flag VS Bear flag The difference between a bullish and a bearish flag is in the direction of the price movement. With the bullish flag, the idea is to participate in a strong uptrend. Meanwhile, with the bearish flag pattern, the idea is to trade short in the direction of the prevailing downtrend. - Downtrend vs uptrend: Bull flag and bear flag are both continuation patterns that form when the price of a stock or asset pulls back from the predominant trend in a parallel channel. - Bull flag: A bull flag is a sharp, strong volume rally of an asset or stock that portrays a positive development. - Bear flag: A bear flag is a sharp volume decline on a negative development. - Bull flag and bear flag share the same traits: Traits of Flag Patterns include support and resistant levels, flag, flag pole, breakout points and price projections. 📍Entry opportunities The most important component of any flag pattern trade is the entry. It’s generally advisable to wait for a candle to close beyond the breakout point before creating any orders to avoid being burned by a false signal. In the example above, the entries are made on a High risk - High reward mindset with stop loss bellow the flag pattern. Most traders will enter a flag pattern trade on the day after the price has broken beyond the trend line. The length of the flag pole is typically used to calculate the profit target. Even when the formation of a flag pattern is obvious, there is no guarantee that the price will move in the expected direction. As with most technical analysis, you will get the best results from flag patterns by applying them to longer-term charts as you will have more time to consider your strategy and analyze the price action. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work , Please like, comment and follow ❤️

NIO: The Most Important Support is Here! 👇• NIO is still in a long-term bear trend, however, it is doing an important reaction this week; • It is confirming a bottom sign, just above the support at $9.40 (Support in Oct 2022, and Gap from Jul 2020); • Only if it loses the $9.40 I see NIO seeking the purple line below the price, maybe even the $5.70 (Jan 2020 top level); • However, the recent reaction might jeopardize a bearish sentiment, at least for now. It all depends on how it’ll react in the daily chart: • Yes, NIO triggered a Bearish Flag, and as far as I know, it is just doing a pullback to the lower purple line again, before another drop; • If NIO enters the Flag area again, and does a clear bullish structure, it’ll most likely frustrate this bearish pattern, and seek the next resistance in the weekly chart, which could be either the 21 ema or the upper trend line; • Either way, NIO looks promising. I’ll keep you updated on this. Remember to follow me to keep in touch with my daily analyses!

ETSY- Flag formationETSY has been trading above it's 200 day MA since 10 Nov22 and a Golden Cross since 30 Nov22. The trend is still up despite the steep pullbacks that this stock is prone to. At the moment we are seeing yet another "flag" formation, the next buy will be triggered should it start to break above this flag (124-127 depending on when the breakup occur, if it happens). So let's see! Disclaimer: Just my 2 cents and not a trade advice. Kindly do your own due diligence and trade according to your own risk tolerance and don't forget that money management is important!

USDCNH [60] Momentum HeadfakeJan 10th, 12:00PM PST We've had a momentum move into a consolidation with diminishing volatility (aka triangle). This is setup is early in development but worth watching. First we want one more bounce off the horizontal trend line of the consolidation. Then we're looking for this to pullback to the 240 21EMA (to prevent Over Extension) and then a quick reverse back over the horizontal trend line of the triangle. This is the entry signal. From there the target is equal to the momentum move which led into the consolidation

Overall analysis of GBPJPY for January 2023 Hey everyone! Welcome to my first analysis posted publicly, it consist on a bullish setup on gbpjpy based on several factors that i will enounce below On the daily time frame: 1)S/R analysis : Price bounced strongly on the demand zone (154-156 lvl) which is an historical key level as it was tested as support/resistance several time during the year 2022 and 2021. And there is no major resistance until 168 lvl 2)candlestick analysis : price formed a doji when testing the support then formed a bullish engulfing which is a sign of trend reversal 3)trading indicator : RSI formed a doble bottom On the 1H timeframe: 1)Highs and lows method : trend turned bullish 2)patterns : At first we could see price forming a V shape and buyers was successful to reach higher levels, that confirmed a trend reversal. Now the price formed a flag pattern which is a trend continuation pattern with a pretty high winning rate when used correctly based on this, here is a great opportunity to buy the GBPJPY and aiming for 164.000 lvl as first target and 168.000 as second target Personally i would wait for a 1h candle to break the triangle before opening my position, as it would ensure me an entry at the right time when momentum is rising. Give a thumbs up if you agree Have a great week I wish you luck, and see you soon !!
