We can see here on the weekly char that Gala is in a bear flag with a very long pole. We can also see that the flag is the shape of a descending channel, a pattern that tends to break upward. When we see a descending channel as a bearish flag it is usually an indication that bears are starting to lose steam.,,,how much steam they are losing will determine whether or not the descending channel wins the dominance battle and it breaks upward or the bearish flag maintains dominance and the pattern breaks downward. If this flag were to break upward instead of downward, the question then becomes will it break upward and then head the entire measured move of the flag but in the bullish direction? Or will it simply just head to the smaller target of the descending channel itself. It’s hard to say but just in case I have put both potential bullish targets on the chart. One other thing it could do is reach the bullish breakout target of the channel and then pull a 180 and still break down below the flag and head to the bearish breakdown measured move target of the flag even after reaching the channels bullish breakout target. Seeing as how the rest of the crypto market recently has begun to see bearish momentum dwindling, I think the bullish outcome has slightly more probability at the moment. Also the measured move for the bear flag breakdown would be negative 20 cents….typical negative targets are a clue that the bullish direction is more likely….always possible for a breakdown to happen at the end of bearish momentum that doesnt hit 100% of its target though. If we take a look at the current volume candle, it is the highest weekly volume candle on this charts history and it happened during a bullish impulse…which is yet more bullish confluence here to suggest a break up from this bear flag is very feasible. *not financial advice*

If it were to head to the 26 cent target from here that would be more than a 5x gain.

Current candle is back inside the channel. Not ready to break out it seems…Price action may wait until the golden cross happens and the 50ma pushes price up and out of the channel before confirming a breakout.
Comment:
Now have one weekly candle close above the flag and it appears like the current candle may also close above the flag as well. If so we may be well on the way of confirming the break up from the flag or at least the descending channel portion of the flag.
