Flag & Pole Pattern

                  

#TermoftheDay - Flag & Pole Pattern

Mukesh Gupta: As name suggests, it’s a candlestick formation resembles an either a upwards flag (bullish one) or a downwards flag (bearish one). In a bullish formation price moves upwards with a consistent pace and forms a pole, than consolidate in a bearish trend (in a range) by making a lower highs and lower lows (*imp-these lower lows are always high than the low of pole*) thus forming a flag structure. Trade entries are made on the upper channel breakout of flag range. Exact opposite of this bearish flag.




Suresh Baskaran: As the name suggests, Flag & pole pattern consists of two parts- pole (sharp up move) and a flag (consolidation or minor profit booking). Support and resistance line of range bound Flag portion is either horizontal or trending downwards. Once the resistance line of flag portion is crossed, stock will breakout on upside. Target of the breakout move can be set as length of the previous pole above the resistance line of flag portion.
