High Tight Flag
High Tight Flag Pattern
The high tight flag becomes visible after a sharp uptrend on high volume. Afterwards, the price - as with the regular bull flag - moves into a sideways range for a short period of time. The price consolidates and the volume decreases significantly. Once the price breaks out above the flag pattern again, one can assume a continuation of the existing bullish trend.
