After this consolidation, the price usually breaks out in the direction of the preceding trend.

This consolidation phase is typically characterized by declining volume.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the price consolidates within the flag, it usually breaks out in the same direction as the original trend, continuing the movement.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-7d009c9ed738a585ee19fb5510ca6d03\" id=\"key-characteristics-of-the-flag-pattern\" style=\"color:#023368\"><strong>Key Characteristics of the Flag Pattern<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\ud83e\udc16 Strong Trend:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>The pattern must begin with a sharp price move, forming the <strong>flagpole<\/strong>.
