Bearish Pennant Chart Pattern

Description

The Pennant is a short-term consolidation pattern that forms after a strong directional move. It consists of converging trendlines that contain the price and create a small symmetrical triangle-like structure. Within the pennant, the price forms lower highs and higher lows, typically with declining volume.

The pattern completes when the price breaks out in the direction of the prior trend. It is a signal of a continuation of momentum.

Signal Effect

The Pennant functions as a trend continuation pattern. It reflects a temporary pause before the market resumes movement in the original direction—either upward or downward.
