There are two different types of flag patterns, namely bullish and bearish. The difference is that bullish is a pattern of rising and trending prices bearish is a downward price trend pattern in the market.

The bullish flag pattern is a pattern indicating that the price trend will increase.

There is more buying pressure driving the price up. Momentum in the market will also continue to increase.

The Bullish flag has a horizontally oriented rectangle shape. However, it is often also a downward sloping trend.

Another variant of this Bullish is the Bullish Pennant which is a consolidation in the form of a symmetrical triangular shape.
