Bearish Flag Pattern Analyze - Top Right Triangle

01

Pattern Overview

It is a YC bearish reversal pattern comparable to an imaginary right triangle. It is made up of two sides joined at a 90 degree angle and linked by a hypotenuse.

  • Horizontal Line (Long side): Connects two or more near-equal market lows.
  • Vertical Line (Short side): Extends from the horizontal to the highest market peak above it.
  • Hypotenuse: Connects descending market highs, indicating bounces above the horizontal.

Formation

Wait for at least two valid bounces and a clean structure before planning entry.

  • Requires a minimum of two, ideally three, descending bounces above the horizontal line.
  • Preferably, the ascent should be slower than the descent back to the horizontal.
03

Signal Confirmation

A bearish setup is confirmed after breakdown and controlled retest near the key level. Place stop loss above invalidation.

  • A sell signal is generated when the price closes below the horizontal line after at least two bounces.
  • A stop loss should be set just above the most recent bounce high before the breakout.
