Chris comments: On January 20th I shared that even though the Shanghai index had been doing poorly of late. The index was touching support on a giant flag pattern at 2,677.

Now the index has rallied over 9% and finds itself within 3% of falling resistance — the top of the flag.

Flags aren't very good about suggesting whether a breakout or breakdown will take place. But if history remains the same, a huge move will be the result.

Investors will want to follow the breakout/breakdown when it happens as this flap pattern has taken a long time to complete.
