bearish Signal

Bearish Flag

A bearish flag is a continuation pattern that appears after a sharp price decline. It features a brief upward-sloping consolidation channel before the downtrend resumes.

How to Trade

Enter a short position upon a breakout below the lower support line of the flag. Place a stop loss above the flags high.

Market Psychology

Following a sharp drop, a temporary "dead cat bounce" occurs as short-sellers take profits. This upward drift is met with new selling pressure, leading to a further collapse.
