Concept

Bull Flags appear in trending markets. A break above the flag channel suggests trend continuation.

Trading Plan

Clear prior impulse up (flagpole).
Consolidation channel slopes slightly down or moves sideways.
Multiple respectful touches of channel boundaries.

Confirmation

Break and close above the flag channel.
Volume expansion on breakout.

Invalidation

Breakdown below lower flag boundary with acceptance.
Deep retrace that invalidates the prior impulse structure.

Targets

Conservative target: prior swing high.
Measured move: add flagpole height to breakout point.

Measured move: Target ≈ Breakout + (Flagpole height)

Risk

Below the flag’s lower boundary or below breakout retest low.
