DOLA bullish flag is a technical analysis pattern that indicates the continuation of an existing uptrend in a financial asset. It is named for its resemblance to a flag on a pole, where the "pole" is a sharp price increase and the "flag" is a period of consolidation or slight retracement that follows.
Characteristics of a Bullish Flag:
Flagpole:
A significant and rapid price increase leading up to the flag.
Indicates strong bullish momentum.
Flag:
A period of consolidation or slight downward retracement.
Typically takes the shape of a rectangle or parallelogram that slopes against the prevailing trend (downwards in this case).
Volume tends to decrease during the formation of the flag.
Breakout:
Occurs when the price breaks out above the upper boundary of the flag.
Confirmation of the pattern and often accompanied by a spike in volume.
Interpretation:
Continuation Pattern: The bullish flag suggests that after a brief consolidation, the price is likely to continue moving in the direction of the previous trend (upward).
Price Target: The potential price target after the breakout can be estimated by adding the length of the flagpole to the breakout point.
