Synopsis:ITC Limited has developed an inverse flag & pole pattern on its 1-day chart, indicating a potential near-term bearish movement.
This pattern suggests that buying momentum is weakening while selling pressure is gradually increasing, indicating a potential continuation of the bearish trend. The inverted flag, also called a bear flag, is a bearish chart pattern where the price falls sharply, then moves slightly upward for a short period before continuing its downward trend after a breakdown.
On Friday, ITC Limited broke the support line in the 1-day chart and ended the session at Rs 307.45. And the previous support level at Rs 308.40 now acts as a resistance zone. With any increase in selling volumes, the price may move further downward; a move above this level weakens the bearish outlook.
In an inverted flag & pole pattern, traders typically target the nearest support level or project a price move equal to the flagpole’s height from the breakdown point, while using strong selling volume and bearish momentum to confirm the trend continuation.

Implications
An inverted flag & pole pattern signals a possible downward breakout. Sustaining below the Rs 308.40 resistance level, along with strong trading volumes, would strengthen the bearish outlook in the near term.
