Bank of America Corp (NYSE:BAC) was trading flat on Thursday in continued consolidation after soaring up more than 13% between July 14 and July 19. The sharp rise paired with the sideways consolidation has settled the stock into a possible bull flag pattern.
The bull flag pattern is created with a sharp rise higher forming the pole, which is then followed by a consolidation pattern that brings the stock lower between a channel with parallel lines or into a tightening triangle pattern.
