PFG - Bullish Assumptions Inverted H&S has been completed on chart, this is shown in green circles
I am expecting this right shoulder move however to push price up further, towards the dashed white line above, this is also shown with the bars pattern in green.
The overall structure of this chart looks quite bullish in my eyes.
PFG Bull flag I own some in my portfolio. Nice long bull trend. Bull flag is a continuation pattern in a long uptrend. The way I play a bull flag like this is to buy when the stock breaks out of the upper flag channel (above 92.53). Stop at 90.70 (C). A breakout would take PFG on to test prior high at (B) 96.17, at which point it would either breakout to new highs or repel backward to form a double top. A bull target on a flag like this would be a 1.618 extension to 99.46 (D).
P&L & W/L:
Buy at 92.53, Stop 90.70; take profit at (B) 96.17.
Max win: 3.93%
Max Loss: 1.98%.
W/L: 2 to 1
Buy at 92.53, Stop 90.70; take profit at (D) 99.46.

XLF (financials) sector has shown some bullishness, and PFG is a financial which has bucked the bear. A bull flag like this has shwon a 66% chance of continuation in a bull. (rarely reverses). But heed the stops just in case.
Always be aware of the round benchmark numbers ($100)-- they can be stubborn to break through.

PFG: Dark Pool Footprints Show Accumulation in a BottomAs a new generation starts families and buys homes, the growth in Life Insurance also booms. There are several life insurance companies forming bottoms right now and many are nearing completion for future position trading, intermediate term holds or even long term holds.

The bottom completion should be confirmed before entry for position-style to longer-term as it could easily retest its lows several more times while you are holding in the red waiting for the move up.
