UNH bear flag and gapsUNH has been top of my radar for a bullish reversal. With 2 major gaps to fill after the epic collapse in share price this ticker has a lot of potential. Currently sitting in what appears to be a bear flag, it is holding above the monthly 200EMA (overlayed on this 4H chart). However price recently rejected off the daily 21ema (overlayed on this 4H chart) and if the bear flag is any indicator price may head lower for another liquidity sweep before the inevitable bullish reversal. A side note: insiders have been buying $millions since the share price collapsed which is always a good indicator of what's to come.

RCI, Bear Flag On The Daily As Well As The 4hr Analyzing both the daily and 4-hour charts reveals a very prominent bear flag, which has formed following a steep decline. This pattern is often indicative of further downward movement, and it's hard to ignore the implications. Word on the street is that they're currently in dire straits. Since the Shaw acquisition, they've hemorrhaged 11 billion in valuation. The situation is exacerbated by declining revenues and missed growth targets. In short, it's not looking promising. If the trend continues downward, we might see the price testing the $19 USD mark sooner rather than later. For those who are currently long on this or have any vested interest, it might be prudent to reconsider your position and cut your losses before it's too late.

Comprehensive Guide to Bull and Bear Flag PatternsBull and bear flag patterns are some of the most reliable and widely used chart patterns in technical analysis. These patterns are particularly effective for traders who prefer trading with the trend, offering clear entry and exit points. They appear frequently in trending markets and represent short consolidations before the trend resumes. In this guide, we’ll cover the characteristics of bull and bear flags, trading strategies, and how to enhance your flag trading using multi-timeframe analysis. What Are Bull and Bear Flag Patterns? Bull and bear flags are continuation patterns, meaning they signal the potential for a price move to continue in the direction of the prior trend after a brief consolidation or retracement. Bull Flag: This pattern occurs during an uptrend. After a sharp rise in price (the flagpole), the price begins to consolidate within a downward-sloping channel (the flag). A breakout to the upside typically follows, continuing the trend. Bear Flag: In a downtrend, after a strong decline (the flagpole), the price consolidates in an upward-sloping channel (the flag). When the price breaks downward, it continues the downtrend. These patterns are valuable for traders as they provide clear entry signals when the price breaks out of the flag's consolidation range. Anatomy of a Flag Pattern The flag pattern consists of two main components: The Flagpole: This is the sharp price movement that occurs in the direction of the trend. It signifies strong momentum and establishes the direction in which the trend is moving. The Flag: The flag is a period of consolidation or retracement that follows the flagpole. The price moves within parallel or slightly converging trendlines and typically retraces about 30% to 50% of the flagpole. The flag represents a pause in the market before the trend resumes. Key Characteristics: Bullish Flag: Occurs in an uptrend, and the consolidation takes place in a downward-sloping channel. Bearish Flag: Occurs in a downtrend, and the consolidation takes place in an upward-sloping channel. Volume (if you trade Crypto or stocks) tends to decrease during the consolidation phase and increases significantly at the breakout point, confirming the continuation of the trend. Trading Strategies for Bull and Bear Flags While bull and bear flags are relatively simple to identify, using different strategies can help enhance the effectiveness of trades. Here’s a breakdown of the most effective approaches to trading these patterns: 1. Breakout Strategy The breakout strategy is a straightforward approach that traders use to enter a position when the price breaks out of the flag's consolidation. This marks the continuation of the trend and offers a high-probability setup. Entry: Enter the trade when the price breaks above the upper trendline of a bull flag or below the lower trendline of a bear flag. Stop-Loss: Place the stop just outside the flag’s opposite boundary (below the flag for bull flags or above for bear flags). Take-Profit: Measure the length of the flagpole and project it from the breakout point. This will give you a target for where the price could potentially move. 2. Multi-Timeframe Strategy The multi-timeframe strategy involves using multiple timeframes to analyze the flag pattern. This strategy can provide a more robust confirmation for entering the trade, as it gives you a broader perspective on the overall trend. Higher Timeframe Analysis: Begin by analyzing a higher timeframe (e.g., the daily chart). Look for a strong trend, either bullish or bearish, and identify if a flag pattern is forming within this trend. Lower Timeframe Confirmation: Once the pattern is identified on the higher timeframe, zoom in on a lower timeframe (e.g., the 1-hour or 4-hour chart) for precise entry points. Look for the price to break out of the flag pattern on the lower timeframe, confirming the trend continuation. Why Use This Strategy? Multi-timeframe analysis reduces the risk of false breakouts by confirming the broader trend on a higher timeframe. It allows you to refine your entries by using a lower timeframe for greater precision. Note: A critical benefit of this strategy is its ability to significantly enhance the risk-to-reward (R:R) ratio, with the example presented achieving an impressive 1:5 ratio. This means that for every unit of risk taken, the potential reward is five times greater—a highly efficient use of capital and risk management. 3. Pullback Entry Strategy The pullback entry strategy offers a more conservative approach to trading flag patterns. Instead of entering at the initial breakout, this strategy waits for a pullback toward the breakout level to confirm the trend’s continuation. Entry: Enter the trade after the breakout has occurred but wait for the price to pull back to the flag’s trendline. This pullback gives you a better risk-to-reward ratio. Stop-Loss: Place the stop just below the flag’s trendline for a bull flag or above it for a bear flag. Take-Profit: As with the breakout strategy, project the flagpole's length from the breakout point for your target. When Not to Trade Flag Patterns While flag patterns are reliable, they are not always guaranteed to work. There are specific conditions when you should avoid trading them: Choppy or Sideways Markets: Flags perform best in trending markets. If the market is choppy or moving sideways, flag patterns are less likely to lead to a strong breakout. Weak Flags: If the flag's consolidation is too broad or the market loses momentum during the consolidation, the breakout may be weak or fail altogether. Conclusion Bull and bear flag patterns are essential tools in any trader's toolkit, offering high-probability setups in trending markets. By understanding how to spot them, applying different trading strategies, and incorporating multi-timeframe analysis, traders can enhance their chances of success. Final Tip: Always combine flag patterns with good risk management techniques, such as proper stop-loss placement and positive risk:reward.

BTCUSD - Ready for the storm? Trading in huge bear-flag! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello traders investors and community, there are some interesting things going on with BTCUSD which i want to explain today. We have seen BTCUSD con- solidating the last days and weeks in the range between 9000 and 13700, this would not hold on forever! As momentum and volume decreases there will be an shift in price movement, either up or down. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As you can see in my chart, looking on the 4-hour chart, BTCUSD is moving in a huge channel. Which i detected as a bear-flag. After we had the top at 13700 supply entered the market and BTCUSD felt down to 9200, where its consolidating now and forming a bear-flag. Those patterns are known to break in the di- rection its origin is, in this case to the downside. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The RSI is forming some bearish divergence, i am expacting it to touch the oversold region before we go down, also you can see that the 200 and 50 EMA for- med a bearish cross-over. The 200 EMA is important in this case because we hold it steady in the recent up-trend, you can see it was touched several times before it felt down and formed the bearish cross-over. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Also, you can see in my chart, the percentage price projection of the bear-flag that will be intact when we confirmed the bear-flag. Of course this pattern can also confirm to the up-side (fake bear-flag), but normally it confirms in the direction where it came from, i give the bearish scenario a probability of 75 %. In my chart you can see also the blue trend-lines in which we are trading right now, i am expecting that we will stay in this range till the bear-flag target has reached. From there we have to look and wait for more information, i would be cautios of opening LONG positions here! A possible scenario after the bear-flag target has reached would be a second bear-flag! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This pattern can be either traded aggressive with a immediate SHORT entry, an entry in the sell zone (neutral), or conservative with waiting on confirmation of the bear-flag. I prefer the second and third scenario with waiting on confirmation of the bear-flag! I will look for a possible entry in the sell-zone and will add to position in the conservative entry-zone when the bear-flag has confirmed. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I hope everybody enjoyed my view! May all happiness and luck come to you! Feel free to give a follow or like to support my further analysis!

MO Altria Group possible A=C plus bear flag Let's discuss it.Hi , Well, first of all, it's important to note that I have an open position in this dividend-paying stock because I want to hold it for the long term. However, we should not ignore the fact that we will start wave C of a possible ABC correction soon. We can also see a bear flag shape. Both have a price target of ~$14 to $15. Regarding the fundamentals, some important things: Traditional tobacco companies have to face the fact that their products are becoming more and more expensive, thus many people buy cheaper products. Vapor and liquid alternatives are increasingly popular among the younger generation. Because they are fragrant, tasty and cheaper. Although these companies have made a lot of profit in the past decades, they are now facing another challenge. If they want to stay competitive, they have to develop to catch up with their competitors who produce products based on new technologies. Altria Group is constantly working to achieve this. However, the transformation of the production technology and the necessary permits (e.g. FDA) are essential for its success. It's all money and time. All in all, I think that stocks of traditional tobacco companies are still a good long-term investment. However, it should be taken into account that they may underperform in the coming months. And they can hit new lows. That's why I didn't use all my resources that I intended for this stock. Because if we actually reach the ~$15 zone, then I want to significantly increase my position size there. Please tell me what you think about it. And share your thoughts. Do not forget. This does not constitute investment advice. Do your own research before entering a position.

EURUSD bear flag?In a strong downtrend recently, brief dead count bounce at a strong demand level. Still above this level for now. Bearish divergence on the MACD. Rejected off the 50EMA and the RSI 50 level, which could be early confluent factors to suggest the trend is still intact for now and this is a lower high before trend continuation. DXY 4H chart attempting to breakout of a range as well. EURUSD weekly RSI is in the bearish control zone and monthly chart doesn’t look great either. Measured move of this bear flag could take price back to parity.
