Bearish Pennant (Flag) Appears on EUR/CAD 4-Hour Chart

Following the surge of the Canadian dollar on Wednesday, July 12, induced by the central bank’s rate hike, the EUR/CAD currency pair has formed a bearish pennant pattern on its H4 chart. Although it resembles a flag pattern, the converging edges make it technically a pennant.
The chart screenshot below shows the pennant formation marked by the yellow lines. The cyan line marks the entry level positioned at 10% of the pennant’s height below the lower border. The green line represents my take-profit level. It is positioned at 100% of the pattern’s height below the lower border. I will set my stop-loss to the high of the breakout candle or to the high of the preceding candle if the breakout one trades mostly outside the borders. I will ignore bullish breakouts from this formation. You can click on the image below to see the full-size chart:

Update 2017-07-19 5:57 GMT: I had to cancel the trading setup as the price had already broken through the upper border, invalidating the bearish pennant pattern:
