📖 What a bear flag is

A near-vertical move down (the pole), followed by a small, orderly bounce that slopes gently against it (the flag).

Why it forms

The pole is forced selling. The flag is a relief rally on thin buying, and it stays shallow because sellers are still there and use the bounce to exit.

🎯 Trigger

A close below the flag's lower boundary.

📏 Target

Project the height of the pole down from the breakdown.

🛑 Invalidation

A bounce that recovers much more than half the pole, or a close above the flag's upper boundary.

SANDUMA — Weekly

Forming
SANDUMA bear flag pattern on weekly candles, with the pattern boundaries and breakout level drawn
The shaded band is the formation. On tops and bottoms the indigo line traces the shape itself — up into the left shoulder, over the head, and away from the right — and the dashed line is the neckline it has to break; on triangles, wedges and channels the two solid boundaries are the pattern. Triangle markers are the swing highs and lows those lines were fitted through, and the dash-dot line is the measured-move target once the pattern has broken.
❓ Bear Flag FAQ
What does a bear flag mean?
That a sharp decline is pausing rather than ending. It is a bearish continuation pattern, and the bounce inside it is usually the last decent exit before the next leg down.
Can a bear flag break upward?
Yes. When it does, the pattern has failed and the move is often quick, because short positions taken inside the flag have to be covered. Flash Finance labels those breaks explicitly rather than hiding them.
How do you trade a bear flag?
Conventionally by entering short on a close below the flag's lower boundary, with a stop above the flag's high and a target one pole length below the break.

How these are found: swing highs and lows are picked out with a percentage ZigZag on daily and weekly candles, and the boundaries are line-fitted through those swings. A formation is only published when the fit is tight, the boundaries are actually touched several times, and the price action stays inside them. The most recent swing is provisional, so a forming pattern can still change shape on the next candle, and patterns whose break already played out are dropped rather than shown as fresh. Levels and targets are the textbook measured moves, not forecasts. This is auto-generated market data, not investment advice.
