Recognising Patterns - Flag

Hi. I’mk just going over charts looking for flag patterns. I’d like a second opinion if this is one near a resistance and trendline resistance:

Yes, looks like correct on both counts. Tall upper wicks on majority of recent daily candlesticks suggest this is running out of buyers for now.

There’s a short opportunity but is it the best available? - price is only likely to fall to the support you’ve marked about halfway down through the long-term downtrend channel. And probably only slowly.

Thanks! I’ve just opened a short position last night, however because of the Brexit/Trade situation it could cause some resistance in price going down.

Nice catch; even I am also using the H1 time frame on this type of trade setup!

Yes! Using multiple time frames to draw lines is the best approach

Of course, it is! There is no way to rely on any specific parameter!

I have found that patterns tell a story, but like all stories they have a context.

XAU/USD is specifically trading Gold spot v USD - so USD outlook is paramount.

Context here is the current time period - end of year - and USD.

Good post here on Friday morning:

Yes it looks that way

You can use this as a guide from my Manual…

Similar setups were formed on the Daily and 4 Hour Charts of the AUD NZD I traded yesterday.
