What is a Flag Break?
A flag pattern is a technical analysis chart pattern that typically follows a strong price move and indicates a potential continuation of the existing trend. It's characterized by a brief consolidation period within parallel trendlines, resembling a flag on a flagpole. The height of the pole often provides a measure for projecting the potential price target after the breakout. A bullish flag forms during an uptrend and suggests a continuation of the upward movement, while a bearish flag forms during a downtrend and indicates a continuation of the downward movement. Traders often use flag patterns to identify potential entry points and set profit targets.
How has this setup performed historically?

Win rate = share of occurrences where the stock beat SPY over the window in the direction the signal predicted — for a bearish setup, a win means it underperformed. Measured since 2025-01-01 on our own detections, which puts the coin-flip line at 50%. Sample sizes are small; treat these as context, not as an edge.
