Potential Bear Flag in NikeNike has been under pressure since late 2023, and now some traders may look for bearish momentum into year-end. The first pattern on today's chart is the price area around $88.66. The athletic-apparel stock bottomed there in September 2023 and April 2024. It peaked in the same zone last month before dropping. Has old support become new resistance? Second is the series of higher lows since August. NKE has been pushing against that trend line recently, which may create potential for a bear-flag breakdown. The 50-day simple moving average (SMA) is in roughly the same place. Next, NKE gapped lower after its last quarterly report on October 1. Since then, it's been unable to fill the resulting space on its chart. Finally, the stock is slipping back below its falling 100-day SMA. The 8-day exponential moving average (EMA) has also remained below the 21-day EMA. Those signals may reflect bearishness in the long and short terms.

How to Identify and Trade Flag Patterns EffectivelyThe flag pattern is one of the most effective trading setups in the crypto market, known for its reliability and high probability of continuation in trending markets. Here’s a detailed overview of what a flag pattern is, how to identify it, and why it works so well in crypto trading. What is a Flag Pattern? A flag pattern appears as a brief consolidation following a strong price movement, resembling a rectangular shape. There are two main types of flag patterns: bull flags and bear flags. Bull Flag: This pattern typically forms after a strong upward price movement (the flagpole), followed by a slight pullback or consolidation (the flag) before the price continues its upward trend. The flag usually slopes downward or moves sideways. Example of Bullish Flag Pattern. Bear Flag: Conversely, a bear flag occurs after a significant downward movement, followed by a consolidation that trends slightly upward, indicating a continuation of the downward trend once the price breaks down through the flag. Example of Bearish Flag Pattern. Identifying Flag Patterns To identify a flag pattern, traders look for: 🏳️ Flagpole: This is the initial sharp price movement. 🏳️ Flag Formation: This should be a consolidation phase that lasts from 2-3 candles up to more than ten, depending on the timeframe. 🏳️ Volume Analysis: Ideally, the volume should be higher during the flagpole and lower during the flag consolidation. An increase in volume upon breakout is a strong confirmation of the continuation. Here is the example chart for identifying the flag pattern: Trading the Flag Pattern To trade a flag pattern effectively, follow these steps: 📈 Entry: For a bull flag, consider entering the trade once the price breaks above the upper boundary of the flag. For a bear flag, enter on a break below the lower boundary. 📈 Stop Loss: Place your stop loss just below the flag (for bull flags) or above the flag (for bear flags). 📈 Profit Target: A common target is to measure the height of the flagpole and project that distance from the breakout point. Example chart showing how to place a trade using the flag pattern: Why It Works in Crypto Markets The flag pattern is particularly effective in the crypto market for several reasons: 📊Volatility: Cryptocurrencies are highly volatile, which can create strong price movements leading to clear flag formations. 📈 Trend Continuation: Flags often appear in trending markets, where there’s a significant amount of bullish or bearish momentum. 🧠 Psychological Factors: Traders recognize these patterns, leading to increased buying or selling pressure at breakout points. Example of Bullish and Bearish Flag Pattern: Bullish Flag: Bearish Flag: Flag patterns are highly effective in crypto trading, offering clear signals for trend continuation. They are especially useful in volatile markets, providing reliable entry and exit points. By identifying strong momentum during the breakout and combining it with volume analysis, traders can use flag patterns to make well-informed, high-probability trades.

Understanding the Flag Pattern - DEEPAKNTR A flag pattern is a continuation pattern that indicates a brief consolidation before the previous trend resumes. It's characterized by a strong price move, followed by a period of consolidation, and then a breakout in the same direction as the initial move. Characteristics of a Flag Pattern: Flagpole: This is the initial strong price movement that forms the pole of the flag. It often occurs with high volume. Flag: The consolidation phase that resembles a rectangle or a parallelogram, usually sloping counter to the initial trend. Breakout: The resumption of the trend, breaking out from the consolidation phase in the same direction as the flagpole. Flag Pattern in DEEPAK NITRITE LTD Chart In the DEEPAK NITRITE LTD chart: Flagpole: The initial strong upward movement (represented by the orange ascending trend line) is the flagpole. Flag: The recent price channel (highlighted by the parallel blue lines) represents the flag, indicating a consolidation phase. Breakout Potential: Given the high volume during the upward moves and lower volume during pullbacks, a breakout above the flag's upper boundary could signal the continuation of the upward trend. Conclusion Flag patterns are powerful indicators of trend continuations. In the case of DEEPAK NITRITE LTD, the identified flag pattern suggests that the stock may continue its upward movement after this period of consolidation. Keep an eye on the breakout above the flag's upper boundary for potential trading opportunities. Happy trading! 🚀📈 If you need further insights, feel free to follow me! 😊

Some thoughts and possible targets of Bitcoin $BTC (BTC/USD)BTC is at the top of this massive bullflag (again) where BTC is in now for 32 weeks. October is half way and the Halloween effect is knocking on the doors. Good time to look ahead. Scenario A: Bullish When BTC breaks out of the bullflag and get (and stay) above the ATH level we enter the uncharted territory. This is where the Extended Fib tool comes in place giving us guidance. Target 1: When BTC breaks major resistance and stay above, my first local target will be around 80k. This target comes from the extended fib of this recent rally. I have hidden this ext-fib to make the chart more clean. Target 2: My second target is around 96k. This is the 2.618 level of the major extended Fib AND the target of the major pole trade measured from around 27k, all the way up to ATH end of the pole of the recent bullflag. When I take that pole and extend it from the bottom pricelevel of the bullflag (50K). The target point of the extended fib and the target of the pole trade match exactly. This almost can't be a coincidence ;-) Target 3 & 4: When price breaks the psychological level of 100k my future targets are around 118k (3.618 extended fib) and ultimately 130k (4.236 extended fib). Scenario B: Bearish If price fails to set a new ATH at the major resistance AND sets a lower high and lower low, BTC is going to see lower levels most probably. This will make this whole thing a Wyckoff distribution setup.

Bitcoin: Potential Breakout from Bull Flag PatternWe definitely need to keep a close watch on Bitcoin over the next few days. The price is currently stuck in a bull flag, and a break of the trend line, which is around the 68k mark, could signal the resumption of a bullish push. The challenge with this pattern is that the trend line varies slightly depending on who draws it, but it generally sits between 67k and 68k. A better but later confirmation, could be a break above the July 29 high at 70k. The pattern suggests that price could reach 83k, or even higher, depending on different interpretations. So, it’s crucial to keep an eye on Bitcoin in the coming days. This content is not directed to residents of the EU or UK.
