action further lower.

BULLISH FLAG
The bull flag pattern is a continuation chart pattern
that facilitates an extension of the uptrend. The
price action consolidates within the two parallel
trend lines in the opposite direction of the uptrend,
before breaking out and continuing the uptrend.

BEARISH RECTANGLE
A bearish rectangle is formed when the price
consolidates for a while during a downtrend. This
happens because sellers probably need to pause and
catch their breath

Cup with Handle is a bullish continuation pattern that
marks a consolidation period followed by a breakout.
There are two parts to the pattern: the cup and the
handle. The cup forms after an advance and looks like
a bowl or rounding bottom.
