Pennant

A pennant is a bullish or bearish continuation pattern in technical analysis that appears as a symmetrical triangle on a price chart. It is formed when the price of an asset moves in a narrow range after a significant price move.

How to spot a pennant pattern?

Identify a significant price move in the asset.

Look for a period of consolidation where the price moves in a narrow range and forms a triangle shape.

Confirm the pattern by observing the converging trend lines that connect the highs and lows of the price action.

A break of the lower trend line of a bearish pennant or the upper trend line of a bullish pennant indicates the direction of the next price move.

How to trade using pennant pattern?

Traders can trade using the Pennant pattern by using the following steps:

Identify the formation of the Pennant pattern on a price chart.
Confirm the pattern by observing the converging trend lines connecting the highs and lows of the price action.

Place a buy order above the upper trend line of a Bullish Pennant or a sell order below the lower trend line of a Bearish Pennant.

Set a stop loss order below the Pennant pattern to limit potential losses.
