EURUSD: CURRENTLY IN A BEARISH FLAG PATTERN ON 4 HR !!!
Hello Traders,
Here we have a valid bearish flag pattern on
EURUSD
, that is still in the consolidation phase (flag portion). Flag patterns are also considered as consolidation patterns, just like any other harmonic patterns (cypher, bat, butterfly, crab, gartley). This pattern is usually formed after a strong movement in price action. There are 3 main parts to this pattern: the flag pole, flag portion, and the continuation portion. After a strong movement, a strong selloff in this case, the market starts to consolidate and we expect the market to breakout in the direction of the flag pole, in our case to the downside.
After getting the breakout, the target is equal to the length of the flag pole, which is 355 pips for this setup. Notice that our flag pattern target lines up exactly with the 2015 July lows, which could act as potential support level. Also a key point to keep in mind is that, the longer the market stays within the consolidation zone (flag portion), the stronger the breakout to the downside will be. The invalidation point for this flag pattern is when we get a break AND close above the upper rising trend line of the flag portion. See the chart above for more details.

UPDATE #1: Hello Traders, market has broken and closed above the upper rising trend line of the flag portion, thus making this short setup invalid. Focusing towards future trade setups :)
