High Tight Flag
Bull Flag Chart Pattern Explained
A bull flag pattern is a continuation pattern and they frequently occur in stocks that are in a strong uptrend. Because the strong uptrend is almost vertical, it resembles a pole. The sideways price movement that follows has similarities to a flag, hence the name bullish flag formation.
High Tight Flag Pattern
The high tight flag becomes visible after a sharp uptrend on high volume. Afterwards, the price - as with the regular bull flag - moves into a sideways range for a short period of time. The price consolidates and the volume decreases significantly. Once the price breaks out above the flag pattern again, one can assume a continuation of the existing bullish trend.
