Bottom or bear flag? And how to recognize the difference?

Bottom or bear flag? And how to recognize the difference?

Case Duolingo:
Behind us is a climb to $530 last May, and from there, a pullback to $145. P/E is now down to 18.6, even though the growth track record is strong.
If you believe that a well-gamified language learning app will continue to sell in the future, when would be a good time to start buying from a technical analysis perspective?
Edit 30.1.
A couple of days later, it has slid another 7% and $10 down to $135. P/E 17.7. There’s no rush to buy yet.
Well… we are below all moving averages, even the weekly 200, and below the long trendline.. At these levels, there was about an 8-month base back in 2023. One would hope the bottom is here. As a fundamental guy, I’ve already been buying this from much higher up, though just my own opinion. If we could now get a proper capitulation puke followed by a V-recovery, it would be the final signal to take the position to overweight…

Can anyone say anything about Verve’s situation regarding TA? The stock has been in a downtrend for over a year, and the earnings report seems to be a slight disappointment based on the preliminary figures. Not much technical analysis was needed to predict the continuation of the decline, but are there any support levels visible below?
Duolingo is already clearly trading below that volume support area. I’ve definitely been completely wrong about the price on this one, even though the company has only released one report during my ownership and nothing catastrophic has happened. Last buy at 155 dollars. Now my buy finger is frozen just when I should be acting. Where is the next support, do the Fibonacci believers have anything for this? Or do I have to start looking at the multiples? TTM GAAP P/E would be 15. Or is it just that the company doesn’t even have a future. ![]()
How does the saying go… those in a downtrend have no support levels and those in an uptrend have no resistance levels… all “resting places” are eventually broken through. Therefore = trade/hold in the direction of the trend.
Has a head and shoulders pattern formed in Palantir? If so, has it apparently broken down?
The right shoulder is a bit high, but I guess it’ll work. Textbook retest.
If it goes all the way, the target is 80-90 dollars.
If Nordea went ex-dividend now, the price would already be breaking through the 200 EMA. Would the SMA be a better indicator for assessing a longer-term trend reversal, though?
It would. 8/9 21 EMA and other MAs, so sma is the way to go ![]()
What exactly was meant by this?

So that you keep the faster 8/9/21 as EMAs, and 50/200 are always SMA ![]()
NIBE from our neighbor’s side, it’s been trading quite low for a while now and has stayed above 30 SEK. The usual question: Is the bottom now at hand and could a recovery in the share price begin, support area somewhere around 28-30 SEK? Below are the 1D, 1W, and 1M charts.
Evening @Fastback
I’m not a TA expert. Still, I’ll answer with what comes to mind. Again, if @DayTraderXL or any other guru can offer support, thanks again.
Monthly bull volume is interestingly on the rise, at least based on the 2/2026 peak. Retail is historically low (contrarian indicator). ![]()
200 monthly MA level
:
Practically below weekly and daily moving averages (still bearish). ![]()
I believe a higher low has already been made weekly and is in a weekly uptrend (bullish). ![]()

RSI weekly and monthly on the rise (bullish). ![]()
'03, '09, '13, '20, (EXCLUDING '23 before the big dip) this weekly AVWAP indicator has reliably shown an uptrend over a relatively long period. Currently, the green line breakthrough is at 39.
BONUS: Valuation looks low, at the same level as around 2018-2019. I haven’t delved into the fundamentals at all. Can you tell me more?
Conclusion: interesting. ![]()

At this rate, we’ll go below SMA200 tomorrow. What are your predictions, will the trend reverse?
Greetings again, it’s been a while. How does Golar look in a technical sense? A lot has happened since last time, and the price has risen quite nicely.
