High Tight Flag

A continuation pattern where a sharp price increase (flagpole) is followed by a consolidation phase (flag) before another breakout.

On BreakoutDB.com, we don’t strictly follow Bill O’Neill’s definition of a High Tight Flag, which requires a stock to gain 100% for the flagpole. Instead, we embrace the same spirit while allowing for variations.

Many of the examples featured are not textbook High Tight Flags by O’Neill’s standards but share similar characteristics.

We also include other High Tight Flag-like patterns, such as Bull Flags, Bullish Pennants, and occasionally what Mark Minervini refers to as a Power Play, as well as breakout patterns popularized by Kristjan Qullamaggie.
