Pennant is a rapid thrust ("pole") followed by an extremely tight, converging pause shaped like a small flag narrowing to a point; the move usually resumes out of the pennant in the direction of the pole that began the NZDJPY pair rate run.
How the pennant read is assembled on NZDJPY: the pattern is registered on the chart, momentum and volatility are scored on the same timeframe, and only when the two agree does the model surface a Sell plan with reference NZD/JPY levels.
An AI-seeded sell read across the M1-D1 ladder. H4 is the reference band this page leans on.

A stop that is placed where the pattern dies teaches you fast on NZDJPY. Because pennant tends to be hit or ignored cleanly, a tightened invalidation keeps the SELL effort cheap when it is wrong and lets winners travel when it is right.
The exit policy for pennant follows the same discipline as the entry: bank part of the SELL move into the reference target, move the rest of the risk to break-even, and let the last slice of NZDJPY run while structure still agrees.
The advantage of a disciplined pennant read on NZDJPY is repeatable risk. Because the Sell trigger and the invalidation are both defined before the move, results on NZD/JPY can be reviewed and refined instead of left to hope.
