Flags can be categorized as continuation patterns. They usually represent only brief pauses in a market. They are typically seen right after a big, quick move. The market then usually takes off again in the same direction. Research has shown that these patterns are some of the most reliable continuation patterns.

Bullish flags are characterized by lower tops and lower bottoms, with the pattern slanting against the trend.

Bearish flags are comprised of higher tops and higher bottoms.
