About This Infographic
The Bear Flag is the bearish mirror of the Bull Flag — a sharp downward flagpole followed by a tight upward drift consolidation. This infographic shows how to identify the sharp downward flagpole, how the flag must drift slightly upward with decreasing volume (not spike up), the confirmed breakdown entry below the lower flag line, stop loss above the upper flag line, flagpole-length downward measured move target, and the invalidation signal — if volume spikes during the flag or price breaks above the flag, the pattern has failed.
