A bear flag has formed, with volume that's showing distribution. Many like to wait for price to breakdown out of the flag pattern. I prefer to enter early, when price is at the to of the range.

Distribution is under way when, over a period of time, stocks show higher volume on down days and lower volume on up days. In a bullish trend, this predicts the trend will pullback or fail. In a bearish trend, expect the trend to continue until the distribution pattern is reversed.

Take a look at GME. This stock shows classic distribution. During the recent uptrend, positive volume was putrid. Trend failure was easily predicted. Currently, the distribution pattern is continuing. This suggests a retest of recent lows.

I will likely short this stock soon.
