A flat base is a tight sideways consolidation after an advance, holding within a narrow price range (typically 10–15%). It signals that holders are not selling and institutions are quietly accumulating before the next leg.
Buy the breakout above the flat base upper boundary on 50%+ above average volume. Stop below the base mid-point. Target: prior advance height added to the breakout.
