Another Strange Bullish Pennant

Although my previous pennant trade has not ended yet, I would not call it a success. That pattern was not a classical instance of a bullish pennant. Neither is today’s CHF/JPY formation on daily chart. The pennant’s pole is not too high compared to the previous price action, while the “flag” part is too long — almost two months. Nevertheless, I would qualify it is a valid potential bullish entry trigger.
The entry level (cyan line) was generated by adding 10% of the pole’s height to the pattern’s upper border (yellow line). The target level (green line) is 100% of the pole’s height added to that same border. I will set my stop-loss level to the breakout bar’s low or to the low of the preceding bar if the breakout bar will trade mostly outside the pennant. I will not enter a bearish breakout trade with this set-up as it is clearly a bullish continuation pattern. You can click on the image below for a full-sized chart screenshot:

Update 2013-06-07 14:11 GMT: I have cancelled the pending order for this trade setup as the recent volatile price action has invalidated the pattern.
