Bull Flag Pattern
A sharp advance, then a tight drift lower — a trend catching its breath.
Shows the chart pattern on any stock we chart, or tells you there isn't one today.
A near-vertical move up (the pole), followed by a small, orderly pullback that slopes gently against it (the flag). The flag is short and shallow relative to the pole.
Why it forms
The pole is a repricing. The flag is early buyers taking profits into steady demand — but the pullback stays shallow because nobody who wanted in has been given a real chance to buy.

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.
