Bear Flag
ChartBearishContinuationReliability:
A sharp decline (the pole) followed by a slight up-sloping recovery channel (the flag); it usually breaks lower.
Description
The pole is a near-vertical drop; the flag is a slight recovery within a tight range before the downtrend resumes.
Market psychology
After a fast drop a technical bounce lures dip buyers; the shallow recovery shows sellers remain in control.
How to trade
The target is often the pole length projected from the break; wait for a close below the lower edge of the flag.
Confirmation
A close below the flag with rising volume on the break.
