Bearish Flag

Bearish Continuation?? - EJHere I have EUR/JPY on the Daily Chart! Ever since price made its High on Nov' 15th, it has been in a decline. With current Price Action making a series of Higher Lows into Higher Highs all while the RSI is below 50 leads me to believe we are looking at a very convincing continuation pattern called a Bear Flag!! With the Bear Flag, we suspect Price will give us a Solid Bearish Break below the Support Leg of the Rising Channel to continue LOWER! Strengthening my Bearish Bias is the Flattening of the 200 EMA with Price working LOWER out of the Consolidation Zone and the Interaction of the EMA with price showing strength possibly switching! *Still waiting for Break and Close BELOW 200 EMA to confirm* Be Aware! Price is still playing within the Parameters of Consolidation so I've marked the potential reversal area as the Support Zone. Fundamentally this week: EUR - Holiday (Mon) PMI (Wed) CPI (Thur) JPY - Holiday (Mon) *Chart Patterns are known to fail 1/3 of the time so BEWARE OF FALSE BREAKS! -Pattern Prediction- **If Price Breaks and Closes above Rising Channel, Pattern INVALIDATED! **If Price Breaks and Closes below Rising Channel, Pattern CONFIRMED!

If Solana hits full target it will gain 358% from recent bottomMany cryptos are testing the breakout up from a bear flag right now (gala, mana, qnt to name a few). Many of these bear flags flag is also a descending channel. Their flags seem most valid on a weekly chart…I just took a look today at solana and sure enough it also formed a bear flag with a descending channel for a flag, but it is already way further along in its breakout than many of the others. If it reaches the full measured move target which is the length of the flag pole than it will have made 358% gains from the bottom. Also the fact that it has clearly broken upward from its bear flag should increase the likelihood of the other alts currently in the same pattern breaking upward from theirs as well…of course this is not always the case….there has been plenty of times in the past when the entire market was forming cup and handles and only 4-5 of the cup and handles broke up and reached their targets before the rest failed…failures like that usually only occur after we have been in an uptrend for awhile, so since this would be a reversal breakout from the current downtrend it increases the likelihood that most of the patterns should trigger since the bullish momentum is only just now getting started. A good early indicator will be if solana hits the full 100% target. *not financial advice*

Potential Strategies: Daily Chart - Bearish Flag Pattern: The Potential Bearish Flag Pattern is nearing the sell zone.

ETH's Nested Flags: Bull Flag within a Bear FlagPrimary Chart: Weekly Candle Chart of ETH/USD with Competing Flag Scenarios Longer-Term Analysis BITSTAMP:ETHUSD has been largely in a trading range since making its low in June 2022. Yes, some of the moves within that range have been quite substantial. The move off the June 2022 low to the early August 2022 high was about +130.59% higher. The next leg higher from the early November 2022 low to the April 2023 high was about a +99% move. In between those moves was a substantial -47.29% downdraft. (Downdrafts may have quite a smaller percentage because the starting point begins much higher than the starting point for an up move.) But big volatility, huge moves, don't guarantee a strong trend either way. A stock can chop up and down in a volatile way while its overall progress remains relatively insignificant given the volatility and moves. Consider the 1-year uptrend on the Primary Chart. The trend does not form a powerful, steep upward slope, moving sharply higher for many weeks consecutively like other charts we have come to see in recent months, e.g., NVDA, AAPL. Instead, the trend has largely been sideways with a modest uptrend with only a gradual incline despite the big moves within this well-defined channel. This could be a bear flag, though that is not yet confirmed. It's a scenario in any case that should be kept in mind on a break of the upward trendline from June 2022 lows. 1. Bear-Flag Scenario: Chart A (also shown on the primary chart) Notice how the VWAPs confirm the largely sideways ranging action. The VWAP from the all-time high and the VWAP from 2022 lows have been containing the price action YTD in 2023. Despite the gentle uptrend slope, the anchored VWAP from the all-time high reminds us of a more dynamic and flexible measure of trend, which is down from the all-time high in 2021. 2. Anchored VWAP from All-Time High: Chart B The anchored VWAP from the all-time high remains formidable to price. Notice is power in resisting price up until now. However, the last rejection did not send price to new lows. This confirms the choppy sideways thesis for now. While the dark-blue VWAP from the ATH did reject price in April 2023, price has remained well above the anchored VWAP from the major June 2022 low. Currently, the ATH-anchored VWAP lies at $2,038. A close above this level suggests at least further upside in the near term. Traders of all time frames should keep this area in mind—it's sort of like a super-highway. You don't want to run out in the middle of it without looking carefully both ways. The measured-move area is also shown here. Note that this is a logarithmic chart, so the measured move is somewhat higher than on a linear chart. This post will attempt to display measured moves on both. 3. Three Anchored VWAPS from Key Pivots: Chart C The anchored VWAPs on this chart confirm the consolidation thesis discussed above. The VWAPs are anchored to key swing lows and highs since the all-time high. NOtice how the VWAPs from these various pivots have been compressing and flattening for months. This signifies another major trend move is likely to occur when this long-term consolidation completes. Many hope it will be an upward move back to highs. SquishTrade is less confident of that conclusion given inverted yield curves (see prior posts on this); however, over the coming weeks, maybe months, choppy to somewhat higher prices can occur. 4. Triangle Patterns within Triangle Patterns: Chart D Triangles are consolidation patterns. The fact that we see triangle patterns within triangle patterns supports the idea that this 1-year channel is potentially consolidative of the move that preceded it. No guarantees, but that seems to be a logical inference. Some might counter that this is a major "cup base" though others may struggle to see anything resembling something that might hold one's tea. We'll see. Note: This is a linear chart, with a measured move based on the linear scaling. 5. Triangle pattern on a Logarithmic Chart: Chart E This chart shows a triangle on a logarithmic scale. So now, switching to log scale doesn't necessarily change the thesis just yet. The measured move for the log scale gives a 1-year measured move off of June 2022 lows around $2467. If we extend the measured move to a 1.272 projection of the first leg off the June lows, then it runs up around $3000. Long-term view summarized: As long as the uptrend from June 2022 lows holds, as well as the VWAP from that same bar, price can continue to remain supported, i.e., not crashing, sideways, rallies and dips within the defined ranges. In SquishTrade's view, $2,400 - $3000 is likely the maximum level ETH may achieve between now and the likely recession foretold by the yield curves. But higher-for-longer monetary policy in major European and North American countries may keep the ceiling even lower than that. Caution is warranted unless / until certain persistent (and 40-year record) yield curve inversions have proven that they finally gave a false signal for the first time ever. Shorter-Term Commentary Directional traders may be disappointed in the coming 2-3 weeks. A flag within a flag suggests more choppy price action overall—at least until a breakout of either occurs. The smaller flag may breakout first to the upside and lead us to the upper edge of the channel. The larger flag may breakout to the downside, and lead us to new lows. But neither has happened just yet. So price action for now may respect the ranges that are in play—both horizontal ranges and diagonal ones (channels). But it appears that price could largely could remain rangebound from a broader perspective for the coming weeks. Conclusion Traders and investors love a major directional move. It sparks adrenaline (maybe) and a combination of dreams / hopes or fears / frustration. Some traders wait eagerly at various levels to fade the move (long or short) once it has started to progress in earnest. Others who may have timed a good entry may be busy counting their profits, while trying to calm down enough to figure out a proper exit, and writing on their foreheads a reminder to "move the stop to breakeven." And still others may be sitting back patiently on the sidelines for months or years and hoping for an ideal capitulatory low after the dust has started to settle between buyers and sellers who may finally seem to have exhausted themselves. In short, the confusion and choppiness of sideways to slightly upward price action is merely the market doing price discovery between all sorts of players including long-term underwater buyers who bought above 3500 and keep hoping the price will rise just enough to make them whole (increased supply), long-term holders who are true believers in the holding (reduced supply unless emotions shake them out), short sellers (supply and potential demand when a squeeze starts), derivatives traders (supply and/or demand due to hedging flow), intraday traders, scalpers, and, let's face it, some gamblers too. In general, the market action is a device for transferring wealth from the impatient to the patient, according to one investing legend, Warren Buffett. But sometimes the patient can be the short-term trader and the impatient can be the long-term investor—because a long-term investor may lack the patience to enter or exit properly, and a short-term trader may have the patience and discipline to execute some excellent swing trades, provided risk is managed and entries and exits are well-planned, well-timed and well-executed.

IWM: Breaking Down From A Bear Flag Visible on the MonthlyThe Russell 2000 has broken down from a Bear Flag that is visible on the monthly timeframe; at the same time, the RSI is breaking below trend and the MACD has flipped Bearish. If this goes like last time, it will result in a deep bearish retrace, perhaps all the way down to the $70s or even the $50s. One thing to keep in mind is that the Russell is heavily linked to Finacial Stocks and Banks, so this Bearish Setup here is likely more indicative of what's to come for the financial sector, including Banks, REITs, and other Services, than anything else.

Navigating Market Turbulence: Unveiling the Bearish Flag Pattern In the world of technical analysis, patterns often provide valuable insights into potential market movements. One such pattern, the bearish flag, is a vital tool for traders seeking to identify and capitalize on bearish trends. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the bearish flag pattern, uncovering its characteristics, formation, and implications. With real-world examples, you'll gain the knowledge to spot this pattern and make informed trading decisions in bearish market conditions. Demystifying the Bearish Flag Pattern What is a Bearish Flag Pattern? 🚩 The bearish flag pattern is a continuation pattern that occurs during a downtrend. It resembles a flag on a flagpole, hence its name. This pattern suggests a brief consolidation or pause in the downtrend before the price resumes its downward trajectory. Key Characteristics of a Bearish Flag 1. Prior Downtrend: The bearish flag pattern forms after a notable downtrend, indicating bearish sentiment in the market. 2. Flagpole: The flagpole is the initial sharp decline in price that precedes the flag's formation. It represents the strong selling pressure. 3. Flag Formation: Following the flagpole, there is a period of consolidation where the price moves in a horizontal or slightly upward range. This forms the flag itself and indicates a temporary pause in the downtrend. 4. Volume: Ideally, the volume should decline during the flag formation, reflecting a decrease in trading activity. 5. Breakout: The bearish flag is confirmed when the price breaks below the lower boundary of the flag, resuming the downtrend. Bearish Flag in a Stock Bearish Flag in a Forex Pair The bearish flag pattern is a valuable tool for traders seeking to navigate bearish market conditions. By understanding its characteristics and monitoring its formation, traders can identify potential opportunities to profit from the resumption of a downtrend. However, like all technical patterns, it should be used in conjunction with other forms of analysis to make well-informed trading decisions. The bearish flag pattern is a powerful addition to any trader's toolkit for analyzing and interpreting market dynamics. 📉🚩 Please, support my work with like and comment!

AMZN bear flag. Must touch white TL before turning bullish. ~120This is a classic bear flag and trendline rejection on the daily. There is no floor for AMZN buyers to keep the price up here. Next floor and support is the white TL. We also saw NASDAQ:AMZN breakout under a long term trend here. 120 is just a mini target. They'll tell you markets are turning bullish but give it 1-2 weeks until they start pumping out, "Gov Shutdown Looming" headlines again. Manipulation is common and allows the markets to be liquid. Stop falling for it. In my opinion, today was a bull trap. Look at the SP:SPX AMEX:SPY CAPITALCOM:US100 chart: I said yesterday in a minds post that we'll pump to 430 then re-evaluate. I did not expect 430 to hit the next day. This is crucial and is usually a sign of weakness. Could be wrong. Welcome to follow & trade with us - many callouts this month including NASDAQ:NVDA @ 415 NASDAQ:TSLA @ 234 NASDAQ:AMD @ 95
