Pennant Pattern
Definition of Pennant Pattern
A Pennant is a continuation chart pattern used in technical analysis, and is shaped like a small, symmetrical triangle or a flag. It is formed following a sharp, significant move in price (either up or down) and represents a brief consolidation phase where volume is declining. The pennant pattern is characterised by two converging trend lines. Once the consolidation is over, a breakout from the pennant pattern (in the direction of the initial move) is anticipated, which indicates a continuation of the previous trend. Traders look for a large volume to accompany the breakout to confirm the move.

An open-end fund, also referred to as a mutual fund in India, is an investment vehicle that is constantly issuing new shares to investors and also redeeming shares on request. This structure means that the fund's total assets under management (AUM) and the number of outstanding shares change daily depending on the investor's purchases and redemptions.
Range Bound
Range Bound refers to a market or stock price that fluctuates within a defined horizontal channel, between clear support and resistance levels, without establishing a strong trend. Prices oscillate as buying pressure at the lower bound meets selling at the upper bound, indicating indecision among investors. This condition suits range-trading strategies using oscillators like RSI, but breakouts can signal trend changes.
Follow On Public Offer
A Follow On Public Offer or FPO allows a publicly traded company to issue more stock to public investors. FPOs are similar to IPOs because FPOs allow companies to raise additional capital through the public market.
For an FPO to be possible, a company must have already done an IPO. FPO shares are typically issued at a discount by a company whose track record is already clear because they are publicly traded.
