Bullish Flag Pattern Analyze - Bottom Reversal
It is a YC trend inversion bullish pattern that tends to form at market bottoms after a downtrend and a consolidation range.
- Initial Downtrend: The market exhibits a clear downward trend (Segment 1, Picture A).
- Trading Range: A pause in the decline forms a trading range (Range, Picture A).
- False Breakdown: The market appears to continue the downtrend with a break below the range (Down Break, Picture A).
- Reversal: Immediately after the breakdown, the market reverses sharply, closing above the trading range upper boundary (Reversal, Picture A).
Wait for at least two valid bounces and a clean structure before planning entry.
- Entry Point: Bullish trade entry is when the price closes above the upper limit of the trading range.
- Velocity: The decline to the new low should be slower or equal to the speed of the rise back above the range.
A bullish setup is confirmed after breakout and controlled retest near the key level. Place stop loss below invalidation.
- A stop loss should be set below the lower boundary of the trading range or below the recent low.
- Pattern failure is indicated if the price drops below the lower band of the range or the recent low.
Historical cases show meaningful upside when confirmation and risk management are respected.
