pennant Finance Definition

A term used in technical analysis to refer to a pattern created by price movements. When the price points are connected, the pattern looks like a pennant. Pennants are created by a sharp initial move upwards or downwards, followed by a limited trading range, which creates a shape like a pennant after the upward and downward trendlines merge. Usually these are short-lived patterns lasting only a few weeks.
