This continuation pattern resembles an upside down flag. The bearish flag is a short-term continuation pattern which tells you that a temporary upward market consolidation is occurring before a continuation of a downtrend.
Again, the flagpole is represented by a sudden vertical dip in price as the flag portion is represented by a temporary upward consolidation against the downtrend.
Standard bearish flags are angled upward or sideways from the dominant downward trend, however on occasion it can be angled downward. The continuation pattern is complete once price action breaks below the lower trendline of support.
A typical price target is measured by subtracting the length of the flagpole to the price associated with the top of the flag.
