The 120-minute chart below shows a potential bear flag continuation pattern on /NQ (Nasdaq 100 futures) with a sell signal to come on an impulsive break below the flag with the second chart a zoomed in version to more clearly show the potential pattern (“potential” as in any bearish technical pattern is simply that, a potential bearish pattern pending a trigger/sell signal below the pattern… no breakdown, no sell signal/short entry… although to be clear, we already have a recent & more significant sell signal on the breakdown below the primary uptrend line).
