Random article: Continuation patterns
As it is clear from the title, continuation patterns signal about continuation of trends in the previous direction. The main patterns of this category are represented by the figures “Flag” and “Pennant”.
Flag is a good signal of continuation of a trend when sharp movement is changed to a short pause. There are three forming states of the flag: first a strong vertical movement takes place (flagpole is shown), then flag figure appears during calm down, whereupon strong movement continues in initial direction.
