BULLISH HAMMER

Definition

Since it is hammering out of a bottom, this pattern, known as a Hammer, appears at the bottom of a trend or during a downturn. It is a single candlestick pattern with a small body at the top of its daily trading range or very close to it and a long lower shadow.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • At the upper end of the trading range, a tiny body is seen. The body's colour is unimportant.
  • This candlestick's lowest shadow is at least twice as long as the body.
  • No above shadow is present.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The Hammer's body should be compact. The lower shadow shouldn't be any shorter than a typical candlestick, but it should be at least twice as long as the body. It is preferred that the upper shadow be absent or extremely small. The bottom of the Hammer's body need to be lower than the bases of the two black candlesticks that come before it.

Trader’s Behavior

The Bullish Hammer appears in a downtrend and it sells off sharply following the market open. The market almost reaches its day's high after the downturn stops. Evidently, the market is unable to move forward on the selling side. The earlier pessimistic emotion is diminished by this finding, which causes short traders to become more apprehensive about their bearish bets. The position for the bulls appears considerably better if the Hammer's body is white.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The top of the Hammer's body is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH BELT HOLD

Definition

A Bullish Belt Hold is a single candlestick pattern that appears during a decline and is essentially a White Opening Marubozu. It starts off at the day's low before beginning a rise against the market's main trend throughout the day. The rally eventually comes to a conclusion with a close near the day's high, leaving a slight shadow on top of the candle. Longer bodies will provide considerably more resistance to the tendency if the Belt Hold is characterised by it.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • The market gaps down and opens at its low, and closes near to the high of the day.
  • A White Opening Marubozu—a long, white body without a lower shadow—is seen.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

In a Bullish Belt Hold, a white opening marubozu or a white marubozu (without an upper or lower shadow) should be visible, and it should open lower than the two black candlesticks that came before it.

Trader’s Behavior

With a sizable gap in the direction of the current downturn, the market opens lower. As a result, the opening price gives the impression that the downward trend will continue. After the market opens, though, things quickly shift, and the market starts moving the other way. The short traders are quite concerned about this, which prompts them to close out numerous positions. This could change the trend and trigger a bullish rise.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The stop loss level is defined as the last low. Following the BUY, if prices go down instead of going up, and close or make two consecutive daily lows below the stop loss level, while no bearish pattern is detected, then the stop loss is triggered.

BULLISH ENGULFING

Definition

This pattern, which arises during a decline, is characterised by a big white body enveloping a smaller black body that came before it. The black body's shadows may not always be completely engulfed by the white body, which also completely engulfs the body itself. This significant bottom reversal signal is present.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • Day one includes the discovery of a black body.
  • The black body from the first day is completely engulfed by the white body that forms on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Bullish engulfing doesn't care how long the first black candlestick is as long as it closes. Also, it might be a Doji. The second one must be a standard or long white candlestick, though. The white body should be longer than the earlier black body, regardless of whether the body tops or body bottoms of the two candlesticks are at the same level.

Trader’s Behavior

Although the market is in a slump, the presence of a black body on the first day results in less selling activity. The market debuts at fresh lows the next day. It appears as though there would be more bearish trade, but as the day goes on, the downtrend loses steam and the bulls gain control. Selling pressure finally gives way to purchasing pressure, and the market ends higher than it did at the day's opening. It is no longer in a downtrend.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH HARAMI

Definition

This pattern consists of a small white body that lies entirely within the black body's viewing range and a black body. If the pattern's outline is drawn, it resembles a pregnant woman. There is no chance behind this. An ancient Japanese word for "pregnant" is "harami." The small candlestick represents "the baby," and the black candlestick serves as "the mother."

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downtrend that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black body is seen.
  • The body from the first day totally engulfs the white body that forms on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The pattern consists of two candlesticks, with the black candlestick on the first day engulfing the white candlestick on the second day. It must be a standard or long black candlestick for the first one. The white body should be smaller than the earlier black body, regardless of whether the body tops or body bottoms of the two candlesticks are at the same height.

Trader’s Behavior

The Bullish Harami indicates that the market's health is uneven. The market is in a decline with a negative attitude, and there has been significant selling as indicated by a dark body, which strengthens the bearishness. The short traders become concerned when prices start the following day higher or at the close of the day before. The price rises higher as a result of many short positions being covered. The ascent is slowed down by the latecomers who short the trend they first missed. Consequently, a little white body develops. Given that the second day's real body is small and the bearish power is waning, this could indicate a trend reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The last close or the midpoint of the first black body, whichever is higher, is considered the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH HARAMI CROSS

Definition

Even more significant than a typical Bullish Harami, this is a significant bullish reversal pattern. The outline resembles a pregnant lady once more, just like in the Bullish Harami Pattern. But now the infant is a Doji. In essence, the pattern is represented by a black body that is immediately followed by a Doji that lies entirely inside the black body's previous range.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black body is seen.
  • The body from the first day completely engulfs the Doji that forms on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The first black candlestick's body engulfs the second Doji's body to form the Bullish Harami Cross, which comprises of two candlesticks. The first candlestick's body could be brief.

Trader’s Behavior

The market is in a decline and has a dominant bearish attitude. A dark body on the first day's candlestick adds to the bearishness. The prices open the following day higher than the previous day's closure or at that time. Since many short positions are covered as a result of the short traders' concern, the price continues to increase. Additionally, the day ends at the opening price, indicating that traders lacked decisiveness. The likelihood of a trend change and subsequent reversal is amplified by the rising level of ambiguity and ambivalence.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The initial candlestick in the Bullish Harami Cross pattern may be short. Due to this, the confirmation level relative to the first candlestick's body length changes:

  • The body top of the first candlestick will be considered the confirmation level if the first black body is short.
  • The last close or the midpoint of the first candlestick's black body, whichever is higher, will serve as the confirmation level if the first black body is not short.

For confirmation, prices must cross above these levels.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH PIERCING LINE

Definition

Two candlesticks form a bottom reversal pattern in this instance. On the initial day of a downtrend, a black candlestick occurs. The second day begins with a gap down, opens at a new low, and closes more than halfway into the first black body, causing a strong white candlestick to form.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • The first day, a black candlestick appears.
  • A white candlestick has a gap down opening on the second day and closes more than halfway through the first day.
  • The second day is unable to close above the first day's body.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Bullish Piercing Line patterns begin with a standard or long black candlestick on the first day. The second day should begin substantially below the preceding day's closing and end more than halfway within the body of the previous black candlestick. The close of the second day must, however, remain within the first day's body.

Trader’s Behavior

The market is trending downward. The initial black body supports this idea. The market gaps lower the following day, indicating that the bearishness is still present. Bulls decide to seize the lead following this extremely negative opening. As the market soars as the day comes to a close, prices start to rise, causing the closing to be significantly higher than the day before. The bears are currently losing faith and rethinking their short bets. The prospective purchasers begin to speculate that new lows would not hold and that it might be appropriate to take long positions.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH DOJI STAR

Definition

This pattern signals a change in trend when it shows up during a downward trend. It consists of a Doji with a downward gap at the entrance and a black candlestick. The pattern is known as "Bullish Dragonfly Doji" when the Doji takes the shape of an umbrella, and "Bullish Gravestone Doji" when the Umbrella is inverted. Regardless of the Doji's shape, all of these patterns are grouped together under the moniker "Bullish Doji Star" in this instance.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • A black candlestick is used on the first day.
  • Then, on the second day, we witness a Doji that gaps downward.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

A standard or long black candlestick should be the first element of the Bullish Doji Star. The next thing must be a Doji gapping down.

Trader’s Behavior

Strong black candlestick further underscores the market's decline. The trading is in a narrow range the following day as it starts lower with a gap down. A Doji forms when the day ends at the price it began at. During the downturn, bears were in charge, but the appearance of a Doji Star, which indicates that the bulls and the bears are in harmony, suggests a change presently. The negative vibe is fading away. The odds of a bear market persisting are not good.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The middle of the distance between the Doji and the preceding candlestick is known as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH MEETING LINE

Definition

This pattern appears when the trend is downward. The white candlestick, which opens dramatically lower and closes at the same level as the black candlestick from the first day, comes after the black candlestick. It resembles the Piercing Line design. The quantity that rebounds on the second day varies, though. The Bullish Meeting Line's second day closes the same as the first day, whereas the Piercing Line's second day closes above the first day's body's halfway. As a result, the bottom reversal at the Piercing Line is more noteworthy. However, the Bullish Meeting Line also merits regard.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • On the second day, a white candlestick appears.
  • On both days, the closing prices are identical or almost identical.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The two non-short candlesticks that make up the bullish meeting line are black and white, respectively. Both days' closing prices ought to be equal or nearly equal.

Trader’s Behavior

This pattern's occurrence indicates a standoff between bulls and bears. When a substantial black candlestick forms, the market is in a decline, and this further confirms the trend. The bears gain confidence with the next day's much lower opening. Then the bulls launch a counterattack, driving prices higher and bringing the close into line with the previous close (or very near to it). Now the downtrend has been broken.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross above this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH HOMING PIGEON

Definition

In this design, a somewhat lengthy black body surrounds a smaller black body. In contrast to the Harami pattern, both bodies are black.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black body is seen.
  • On the second day, the body from the first day is fully engulfed by another black body.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Two black candlesticks make up the Bullish Homing Pigeon, in which the first day's black body engulfs the second day's black body. It must be a standard or long black candlestick for the first one. The second day's body should be smaller than the first day's body, regardless of whether the body tops or body bottoms of the two candlesticks are at the same level.

Trader’s Behavior

The pattern serves as a discrepancy indication. In a market that is in a downtrend, the first day's black body serves as a reflection of the first instance of significant selling. However, a smaller body that shows up on the second day indicates that the sellers' strength and zeal have waned, pointing to a potential trend reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The last close or the midpoint of the previous black body, whichever is higher, is considered the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH MATCHING LOW

Definition

When two black days with equal closes happen in a downward trend, this pattern develops. Even though the new low was tested and there was no follow-through, the matching low signal implies a bottom has been created, which is a sign of a strong support price.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black body is seen.
  • A second black candlestick with a closing price exactly matching that of the first day follows on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Two black candlesticks form the Bullish Matching Low. The first candlestick should be typical or long in length. It is ideal for both candlesticks to close at the same point.

Trader’s Behavior

Another significant black day serves as evidence that the market has been declining. The price is the same when it closes on the next day after opening higher and trading even higher. This is a sign of temporary support and will worry the bears greatly. The fact that both days close at the same level rather than the daily trading activity serves to represent the psychology of the market.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The middle of the first black body is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH KICKING

Definition

A black Marubozu appears first in this design, followed by a white Marubozu. Following the black Marubozu, the market opens higher than it did at the start of the previous session, creating a space between the two candlesticks.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • A black Marubozu (or black candlestick) is used on the first day.
  • On the second day, a white Marubozu (or white candlestick) appears.
  • A body gap and a higher opening mark the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

A body gap should be present between the black and white Marubozus of the Bullish Kicking. We also accept a null body gap and normal or lengthy candlesticks. In this fashion, the continuation pattern known as the Bullish Separating Lines Pattern (which is not discussed here) is also incorporated in a modified style as a reversal pattern.

Trader’s Behavior

The pattern is a potent indicator that the market is rising. A strong black candlestick (or a black Marubozu) on the first day furthers the bearishness of the chart, which appears to be downtrending. Prices open at or above the previous day's open the following day, creating a gap. The bulls are compelled to behave by this significant gap. A white candlestick is formed by the market heads rising (or a white Marubozu).

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH ONE WHITE SOLDIER

Definition

A black candlestick and a white candlestick that both open and close above the previous day's close make up this pattern, which usually occurs during a decline. The Bullish Harami pattern resembles the pattern in appearance. The second day's closing price is higher, which prevents the previous black body from engulfing the white body. This is the only change.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • Day one includes the discovery of a black body.
  • The white body that forms the following day opens higher than the close of the previous day and closes higher than the open.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The black candlestick is followed by the white candlestick in The Bullish One White Soldier. The candlesticks shouldn't be too short in length. The second day begins above the previous day's close, and the previous day's closure crosses over the first day's opening price.

Trader’s Behavior

The strong black candlestick that was shown on the first day of a downturn intensifies the previously existing bearishness. The short traders are frightened as the second day opens higher than the closing. Prices increase until the previous day's opening is crossed by the closing. It is no longer in a downtrend. If prices continue to rise during the ensuing days, a significant trend reversal occurs.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH MORNING STAR

Definition

This three candlestick pattern denotes a significant bottom reversal. It is made out of a short candlestick that typically gaps down to resemble a star, followed by a black candlestick. The third white candlestick, whose close is deep within the black body of the first session, follows. This bottom pattern has significance.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downtrend that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black candlestick is visible.
  • Then, on the second day, a brief candlestick gaps in the direction of the downtrend.
  • On the third day, a white candlestick is observed.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

A short candlestick (white or black) that opens with a gap down should follow the black candlestick that initiates the Bullish Morning Star. The third-day white candlestick should open at or higher than the second candlestick's lowest level of body, and it should close well inside the black candlestick that first emerges in the pattern. According to the other candlesticks in the pattern, the height at which this candlestick must close is determined. The conclusion of the third day must fall halfway between the beginning of the first day and the lowest body level of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

A downward trend is currently in motion, and the black candlestick confirms that the downward trend will continue. The short candlestick that creates a gap signals that bears are still trying to drive the stock lower. The second day's tight price movement between open and close, however, reveals uncertainty. A white body inhabits the black body of the first day on the third day. A noteworthy tendency has emerged.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lower of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH MORNING DOJI STAR

Definition

This three-candlestick pattern denotes a significant bottom reversal. It is made out of a Doji, which customarily gaps down to form a Doji Star, followed by a black candlestick. The third white candlestick, whose close is deep within the black actual body of the first session, follows. This bottom motif is recognisable.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black candlestick is visible.
  • Then, on the second day, a Doji appears with a gap in the downtrend's direction.
  • On the third day, a white candlestick is observed.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Beginning with a black candlestick, the Bullish Morning Doji Star should end with a doji that results in a gap opening lower than the closing of the first day. The white candlestick that makes up the pattern's third day has an initial price that is equal to or higher than the Doji, and it should close well into the black candlestick that first appears in the pattern. According to the other candlesticks in the pattern, the height at which this candlestick must close is determined. The conclusion of the third day must fall halfway between the beginning of the first day and the lowest body level of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

The black candlestick confirms the continuance of the downtrend, which has already been established. The emergence of the Doji that creates a gap shows that bears are still attempting to drive the price lower. The price action's tight range between open and close, meanwhile, also reveals uncertainty. The candlestick's body is higher on the third day than it was on the first, attempting to make up some lost ground from the first day's downturn. There has been a big trend reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH ABANDONED BABY

Definition

This three-candlestick pattern denotes a significant bottom reversal. With one significant exception, it is exactly the same as the Bullish Morning Doji Star. The shadows of the first and third days must also gap below the shadows on the Doji. It gets its name from the second day of the pattern, which hangs out on the chart by itself like a first- and third-day infant left behind. The pattern basically consists of a black candlestick, a Doji that gaps away from the prior black candlestick (including shadows), and then a subsequent white candlestick whose closing is well inside the first black body.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downtrend that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black candlestick is observed.
  • Then, on the second day, we observe a Doji whose shadows gap beneath the lower shadow of the first day.
  • The white candlestick on the third day gaps in the other direction without casting any shadows over it.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The Bullish Abandoned Baby must begin with a long black candlestick and end with a Doji that creates a gap away from the previous candlestick (including shadows). The pattern's third day is represented by a white candlestick. You can disregard the distance between the Doji's high and the candlestick's low. The black candlestick that first emerges at the start of the pattern must close deeply into the white candlestick. According to the other candlesticks in the pattern, the height at which this candlestick must close is determined. The conclusion of the third day must fall halfway between the beginning of the first day and the lowest body level of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

The ongoing decline is confirmed to continue by a black candlestick. The Doji's appearance, which creates a wide gap, signals that the bears are continue driving the price lower. The narrow price range between open and close demonstrates uncertainty and worsens the prior trend. The candlestick's body is elevated above the second day on the third day in an effort to make up some of the lost ground from the first day.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH TRI STAR

Definition

This pattern consists of three Doji in succession. This pattern is highly uncommon, therefore when it does appear, it should not be disregarded.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downtrend that dominates.
  • There are three Doji visible in a row.
  • The second day is separated from the first and third by a gap.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The second Doji gaps below the other two Doji to form the Bullish Three Star, which comprises of three Doji in a row. The fact that the gap is a body gap suffices. The space between shadows is not necessary.

Trader’s Behavior

A market that has been in a decline for a considerable amount of time is necessary for a bullish Tri Star. The smaller bodies, on the other hand, are likely a sign of the deteriorating trend. The initial doji raises some red flags. The market is losing direction, as shown by the second Doji. The third doji signals the end of the downturn towards the end. This pattern suggests a lack of decision-making that caused positions to be switched.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH DOWNSIDE GAP TWO RABBITS

Definition

This is a bullish reversal pattern with three candlesticks. The difference between the black body of the first day and the white body of the second day is what is known as the downward gap. The rabbits poised to emerge from their burrow are represented by the white candlesticks of the second and third days.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downtrend that dominates.
  • On the first day, a standard or lengthy black candlestick appears.
  • A short, gaping white candlestick represents the second day.
  • On the final day, another white candlestick that opens at or below the open and closes above the previous day's close but still below the opening day's close makes an appearance.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The Negative Gap Start off with a normal or long black body for Two Rabbits. The next is a short, white body with a body gap at the bottom. The second day is engulfed by the third day, which is another white body. The third day's opening may match or fall short of the second day's opening. The gap between the first and second days should still be unfilled as the third day should end below the first day's body limits.

Trader’s Behavior

The black candlestick intensifies the previously existing bearishness, which has been a decline. The next day's opening has a gap that is lower. Prices begin to climb slightly, and a brief white candlestick is seen. Even if a white body appears on this day, prices fail to close higher than the closing of the day before, thus the bears are not frightened. The third day begins at or below the second day's start but rebounds throughout the day to close higher than the first day's close. The two successive white bodies indicate that there have been doubts raised about the downtrend's strength.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH UNIQUE THREE RIVER BOTTOM

Definition

This three-candlestick motif resembles the Bullish Morning Star in certain ways. It appears to be declining. The next little black body, which typically has a lengthy lower shadow, is engulfed by the first day's black candlestick. A little white body that closes below the close of the second day completes the pattern.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downturn that dominates.
  • On the first day, a black candlestick is observed.
  • A black body, the second day has a higher opening, trades at a new low, and closes close to the high.
  • Below the second day is the third day, which is a brief white day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

A brief black candlestick that opens higher must come after the strong black candlestick that signals the beginning of the Bullish Unique Three River Bottom. A long lower shadow that extends lower than the low of the first day results from the second day's trading at a new low. By the first day, the body of this candlestick ought to be submerged. The third and final day of the pattern must include a brief white body that is lower than the body of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

The market is testing new lows, and a bad day results from it. Unexpectedly, the next day begins higher; but, the bears demonstrate their might and cause fresh lows to be achieved during the day. The day ends close to where it began, which causes a brief black candlestick to develop. The effectiveness of the bears is in doubt, and the market is characterised by uncertainty. The bears are weakening when a tiny white body shows up the following day.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH THREE WHITE SOLDIERS

Definition

This pattern predicts a significant market reversal. Three regular or long candlesticks that are incrementing upward are what give it away. Each day's beginning is a little lower than the previous close, and prices gradually close at higher levels. This staircase-like behaviour denotes a trend reversal.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market has a strong downtrend that dominates.
  • Three normal or lengthy white candlesticks are seen in a row.
  • Each candlestick lights up inside the body of the day before.
  • Candlesticks gradually reach new highs above the previous day as they close.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

A series of three consecutive normal or long white candlesticks is known as the Bullish Three White Soldiers. The final two candlesticks must start in the previous candlestick's range and end higher.

Trader’s Behavior

The pattern develops when the market has been stacked at a low price for an extended period of time. The market is either nearing or has already reached a bottom while continuing to test fresh lows. The first white candlestick serves as proof of a further, determined upward attempt. The next two days will see a continuation of the rally with higher closing. Now, bears must cover short positions.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The previous low is referred to as the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BULLISH DELIBERATION BLOCK

Definition

Three consecutive black candlesticks with lower closes in a downtrend make up this pattern. The Bearish Deliberation Block Pattern is complimented by it.

Recognition Criteria

  • There is a strong downward tendency in the market.
  • The first day, a black candlestick appears.
  • The following day features another black candlestick that opens in the body range of the day before and closes below that day's close.
  • A short black candlestick, a spinning top, or a Doji that gaps below the second day characterises the final day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

It is not advisable to short the first two black candlesticks that occur in the Bullish Deliberation Block. The end of the second day should be at or below the close of the first day, and the second day should open at or higher than the close of the first day. A short black candlestick or a Doji can fill the space left by the gaping third candlestick.

Trader’s Behavior

The downtrend is confirmed by two consecutive black candlesticks, and the bears are happy with the state of affairs. More bears are drawn to the secure decline, and the third day opens below the close of the first. The third day is likewise a down day, which persuades the bears that the downtrend will continue. However, a deeper inspection reveals indications of vulnerability. Each body's range is reducing day by day, and the third day gaps below form a star, indicating indecision.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The halfway between the previous close and the second day's body bottom is known as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross over this level.

The lowest of the previous two lows is used to define the stop loss level. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern.

BEARISH HANGING MAN

Definition

The pattern appears either during an uptrend or at the peak of a trend. Because of how the candlestick resembles a hanging man in some ways, it was given the moniker Hanging Man. It is a single candlestick pattern with a small body at the top of its daily trading range or very close to it and a long lower shadow.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • At the upper end of the trading range, a small real body is seen. The body's colour is unimportant.
  • This candlestick's lowest shadow is at least twice as long as the body.
  • No above shadow is present.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The Hanging Man's body ought to be compact. The lower shadow shouldn't be any shorter than a typical candlestick, but it should be at least twice as long as the body. It is preferred that there be no overhead shadow at all. The two white candlesticks that come before it should both be higher than the top of the hanging man's corpse.

Trader’s Behavior

Known as a bearish reversal pattern, the hanging man. It indicates a resistance level or the top of the market. It indicates that selling pressure is beginning to pick up because it appears after an advance. The price decline during the session was driven by sellers, as seen by the length of the lower shadow. The advent of this selling pressure following a rise is a major warning indicator, even though the bulls reclaimed their footing and raised prices by the conclusion. It may be more negative if the body is black because it indicates that the close was unable to return to the opening price level.

Sell/Stop Loss Levels

The midpoint of the lower shadow of the Hanging Man is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH BELT HOLD

Definition

A Black Opening Marubozu, or Bearish Belt Hold, is a single candlestick pattern that appears during an uptrend. It starts off on the day's high and drops off during the day against the market's general trend before closing around the day's low and casting a small shadow at the candle's base. Longer bodies will provide considerably more resistance to the tendency if the Belt Hold is characterised by it.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • The market gaps up, opens at a high point, and closes close to the day's low point.
  • A Black Opening Marubozu—a long, dark body with no upper shadow—is seen.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

There should be a black opening marubozu or a black marubozu (without an upper or lower shadow) that opens higher than the two white candlesticks that came before it.

Trader’s Behavior

With a sizable gap in the direction of the current upswing, the market opens higher. Therefore, the uptrend is still continuing as seen by the starting price. After the market opens, though, things quickly shift, and the market starts moving the other way. The bulls are quite concerned about this, which prompts them to sell a lot of positions, which could change the trend and trigger a sell-off.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH ENGULFING

Definition

This pattern develops during an uptrend and is characterised by a huge black body enveloping a smaller white body that came before it. The black body completely envelops the body rather than only the shadows of the white body. This top reversal signal is significant.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • On the first day, a white body is observed to form.
  • The white body from the first day is completely engulfed by the black body that forms on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The first white candlestick's length is unimportant. Also, it might be a Doji. But the second one must be a standard or long black candlestick. If the two candlesticks' body tops or bottoms are at the same level, the Bearish Engulfing Pattern's black body should be longer than the white body that came before it.

Trader’s Behavior

Even though there is a clear upswing in the market, the presence of a white body on the first day results in decreased buying activity. The market debuts the following day at fresh highs. It appears as though there would be more positive trade, but the uptrend loses steam and the bears gain control throughout the day. In the end, the market finishes below where it opened the previous day as selling pressure prevails over purchasing. The upswing has been harmed.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH HARAMI

Definition

This pattern consists of a little, totally inside the white body's range black body and a white body. If the pattern's outline is drawn, it resembles a pregnant woman. There is no chance behind this. An ancient Japanese word for "pregnant" is "harami." The little candlestick represents "the baby," while the white candlestick serves as "the mother."

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • Day one includes the observation of a white body.
  • The body from the first day completely engulfs the black body that forms on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Two candlesticks make up the pattern, with the white candlestick appearing on the first day and the black candlestick appearing on the second. The first candlestick ought to be a standard or long white candlestick. The black body should be smaller than the preceding white body, regardless of whether the body tops or body bottoms of the two candlesticks are at the same level.

Trader’s Behavior

The Bearish Harami indicates that the market's health is uneven. The market is in an upswing and has a bullish attitude, and strong buying is being seen as indicated by a white body, which encourages the bullishness even more. The prices open lower the following day or at the close of the day before, stay in a narrow range all day, and close even lower, but within the range of the previous day. Due to this abruptly worsening trend, traders are increasingly worried about the market's strength.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close or the midpoint of the first white body, whichever is lower, is considered the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH HARAMI CROSS

Definition

Even more significant than a typical Bearish Harami, this is a significant bearish reversal pattern. The outline resembles a pregnant woman once more, just like in the Bearish Harami Pattern. But now the infant is a Doji. In essence, the pattern is represented by a white body that is immediately followed by a Doji that lies entirely within the white body's previous range.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • Day one includes the observation of a white body.
  • The body from the first day totally engulfs the Doji that forms on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Two candlesticks make up the Bearish Harami Cross, with the first white candlestick's body engulfing the second Doji's body. The first candlestick's body might be brief.

Trader’s Behavior

The market is in a positive attitude, and an uptrend is currently taking place. The fact that the first day's candlestick has a white body adds to the bullishness. However, the following day's opening prices are lower than the previous day's closing or near to it. The market ends at the same price as it opened, which is even worse. This suggests a total lack of direction and an impending reversal of the upward trend.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

A short candlestick may be the opening line in the Bearish Harami Cross pattern. Due to this, the confirmation level relative to the first candlestick's body length changes:

  • The body bottom of the first candlestick will serve as the confirmation level if the first white body is short.
  • The confirmation level will be the lower of the most recent close or the midpoint of the first candlestick's white body, depending on whether the first white body is short or not.

For confirmation, prices should cross beneath these levels.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH SHOOTING STAR

Definition

This pattern starts with a white body, which is followed by an Inverted Hammer with a small body and a long upper shadow. The Shooting Star pattern resembles the Bullish Inverted Hammer pattern in shape, but unlike it, it appears during an uptrend and denotes a bearish reversal.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • White candlesticks make up the pattern's first day.
  • On the second day, a small body is seen near the bottom of the trading range. The body's colour is unimportant.
  • This second candlestick's upper shadow ought to be at least twice as long as the body.
  • Nearly no lower shadow exists.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The Inverted Hammer's body ought to be compact. The length of the upper shadow must be at least twice that of the body but not less than that of a typical candlestick. It is preferred that there be no lower shadow or very little of one. The body of the Inverted Hammer should have a higher top than the body of the candlestick before it.

Trader’s Behavior

The white candlestick that comes on the first day of the pattern adds to the bullishness, which is present in the background of the pattern. The market opens at or close to its low on the second day after an inverted hammer is seen. Then the price movement reverses, and we witness a rally. However, the bulls are unable to maintain the rally throughout the rest of the day, and prices eventually close at or very close to the day's low. This will undoubtedly worry those bulls who have profitable holdings.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The low of the Inverted Hammer's body is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH DARK CLOUD COVER

Definition

Two candlesticks form a top reversal pattern in this instance. In the first day of an uptrend, a white candlestick will occur. A robust black candlestick is formed on the second day after it starts at a new high with a gap up and closes more than halfway within the previous white body.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • The first day, a white candlestick appears.
  • A black candlestick has a gap up opening on the second day and closes more than halfway through the first day.
  • The second day is unable to close below the first day's body.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Long or standard white candlesticks are used on the first day of the Bearish Dark Cloud Cover motif. The second day should begin well above the first day's close and end more than halfway into the body of the first white candlestick. The close of the second day must, however, remain within the first day's body.

Trader’s Behavior

The market is trending upward. This idea is supported by the first white body. The market gaps higher the following day, indicating that the bullishness is still present. After such a strong opening, the bears decide to seize the initiative. As the market collapses approaching the close, prices start to fall, causing a closure that is significantly lower than the close of the previous day. The bulls are currently losing faith and rethinking their long bets. Potential short sellers begin to consider taking short positions as they begin to believe that fresh highs might not hold.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH DOJI STAR

Definition

This pattern signals a change in trend when it shows up during an uptrend. It consists of a Doji with a gap up at the opening and a white candlestick. "Bearish Dragonfly Doji" is the name of the design if the Doji takes the shape of an umbrella. "Bearish Gravestone Doji" is the term used to describe an inverted umbrella. Regardless of the Doji's shape, all of these patterns are collectively referred to as "Bearish Doji Star" in this instance.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • A white candlestick is used on the first day.
  • Then, on the second day, we witness a Doji that gaps up.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

A standard or long white candlestick should be the first element of the Bearish Doji Star. The next thing must be a Doji gapping up.

Trader’s Behavior

A powerful white candlestick further reinforces the market's upward trend. The trade is in a narrow range the following day as it starts out higher with a gap up. A Doji is formed when the day ends at the price it started at. During the upswing, bulls were in charge, but the appearance of a Doji star, which signifies that the bulls and the bears are in harmony, now suggests a change. The increasing momentum is fading. The odds against a bull market continuing are not good.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The middle of the distance between the Doji and the preceding candlestick is known as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH MEETING LINE

Definition

This pattern appears when the trend is upward. The black candlestick, which opens considerably higher and closes at the same level as the white candlestick from the first day, follows. It resembles the pattern of the Dark Cloud Cover. However, the number drops by a different amount the following day. The Bearish Meeting Line's second day closes the same as the first day, but the Dark Cloud Cover's second day closes below the first day's body's halfway. The Dark Cloud Cover is a more substantial top reversal as a result. But one must also respect the Bearish Meeting Line.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • A white candlestick is used on the first day.
  • On the second day, a black candlestick appears.
  • On both days, the closing prices are identical or nearly identical.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The two non-short candlesticks that make up the bearish meeting line are white and black, respectively. Both days' closing prices ought to be identical or very similar.

Trader’s Behavior

This pattern's occurrence indicates a standoff between bulls and bears. When a robust white candlestick forms, the market is on an upward trend, which is further reinforced by the candlestick. The bulls feel more assured the following day because of the much higher opening. Then the bears launch a counterattack, driving prices lower and causing the price to close at (or very near) the same level as the previous close. Now, the uptrend has been broken.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH DESCENDING HAWK

Definition

In this pattern, a previously existing somewhat lengthy white body encloses a smaller white body. Despite the fact that both bodies are white, it resembles the Harami pattern.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • Day one includes the observation of a white body.
  • The white body from the first day reappears on the second day, entirely absorbed by the white body from the first day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The two white candlesticks that make up the Bearish Descending Hawk have the first day's white body engulfing the second day's white body. It must be a standard or long white candlestick for the first one. The second day's body should be smaller than the first day's body, regardless of whether the body tops or body bottoms of the two candlesticks are at the same level.

Trader’s Behavior

This trend is a warning indicator of inequality. In a market with an upward tendency, the first sign of active buying is the first day's white body. However, a smaller body that shows up on the second day indicates that the purchasers' strength and zeal have waned, pointing to a potential trend reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The confirmation level is the lower of the most recent close or the middle of the previous white body. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH MATCHING HIGH

Definition

When two white days with equal closes appear in an upward trend, this pattern develops. Even though the new high was tested and there was no follow-through, it suggests a top has been reached, which is a sign of a good resistance price.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • Day one includes the observation of a white body.
  • Another white candlestick with a similar closing price to the prior day's closing price appears on the second day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Two white candlesticks make up the Bullish Matching High. The first candlestick should be typical or long in length. It is ideal for both candlesticks to close at the same point.

Trader’s Behavior

Another solid white day serves as further proof that the market has been rising. The price is the same when it closes on the same day after opening lower and trading much lower. This is a sign of near-term resistance and will worry the bulls a lot. The psychology of the market has more to do with the fact that both days end at the same level than it does with the actual daily trading action.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The middle of the first white body is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH KICKING

Definition

A white Marubozu appears first in this pattern, followed by a black Marubozu. Following the white Marubozu, the market opens lower than it did the previous session, creating a space between the two lines.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • A white Marubozu (or white candlestick) is used on the first day.
  • On the second day, a black Marubozu (or black candlestick) appears.
  • The second day begins with a body gap and is lower.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The perfect Bearish Kicking should have a body gap in between the black and white Marubozus of the pair. We also accept a null body gap and normal or lengthy candlesticks. In this way, the continuation pattern known as the Bearish Separating Lines Pattern (which is not discussed here) is also included in a modified way as a reversal pattern.

Trader’s Behavior

The pattern is a powerful indicator that the market is declining. It seems to be moving upward, and the first day's big white candlestick adds to the bullishness. Prices open below (or at) the previous day's open the following day, creating a gap. The bears are propelled to action by this enormous separation. With a dark candlestick, the market is now declining.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH ONE BLACK CROW

Definition

A white candlestick and a black candlestick that both open and close below the previous day's close make up this pattern, which usually occurs during an uptrend. The design resembles the Bearish Harami pattern in appearance. The second day closes lower than the first, which prevents the black body from being engulfed by the white body before it. That is the sole difference.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • Day one includes the observation of a white body.
  • The second-day black body, which is formed, has an opening lower than the close of the first day and a closing lower than the open of the first day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The white candlestick is followed by the black candlestick in the Bearish One Black Crow. Both candlesticks shouldn't be too short in length. The close of the second day is lower than the opening price of the first day, and the second day's close is lower than the previous day's close.

Trader’s Behavior

The strong white candlestick that was seen on the first day strengthens the bullishness that already exists as an uptrend is in place. The bulls are anxious as the second day opens lower than the close. Prices decline to the point that the close is lower than the open from the day before. The upswing has been harmed. If prices continue to drop during the ensuing days, the trend drastically reverses.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH EVENING STAR

Definition

This three-candlestick pattern denotes a significant top reversal. It is made out of a short, white candlestick that typically gaps up into a star, followed by a white candlestick. The third black candlestick, whose close is well inside the white body of the first session, follows. This top pattern has significance.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • On the first day, a white candlestick is visible.
  • Then, on the second day, we observe a brief candlestick that gaps in the upward direction.
  • On the third day, a black candlestick is observed.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The white candlestick that marks the beginning of the Bearish Evening Star should be followed by a short candlestick (either white or black) that opens with a gap upward. The third-day black candlestick should open at or below the second candlestick's body's greatest level, and it should close well within the white candlestick that first appears in the pattern. According to the other candlesticks in the pattern, the minimum level at which this candlestick must close is determined. The conclusion of the third day must fall halfway between the beginning of the first day and the peak body level of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

There is an uptrend present, and the white candlestick verifies the upswing's persistence. The emergence of a short candlestick with a gap shows that bulls are still driving the price higher. The second day's tight price movement between open and close, however, reveals uncertainty. A black body inhabits the first day's white body on the third day. There has been a big trend reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH EVENING DOJI STAR

Definition

This three-candlestick pattern denotes a significant top reversal. It is made up of a white candlestick and a Doji, the latter of which typically gaps upward to form a Doji Star. The third candlestick, which is black, closes well into the white real body of the first session. This top pattern has significance.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • On the first day, a white candlestick is visible.
  • Then, on the second day, a Doji appears with a gap in the upward trend.
  • On the third day, a black candlestick is observed.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The White Candlestick Bearish Evening Doji Star begins with a doji and should be followed by a gap opening higher than the close of the first day. Black candlesticks, which have an opening price that is equal to or less than that of the Doji on the third day of the pattern, should close well into the white candlestick that first appears on the first day of the pattern. According to the other candlesticks in the pattern, the minimum level at which this candlestick must close is determined. The conclusion of the third day must fall halfway between the beginning of the first day and the peak body level of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

There is an uptrend present, and the white candlestick verifies the upswing's persistence. The Doji's appearance along with a gap suggests that bulls are continuing driving up the price. The narrow price movement between the open and close, meanwhile, also reveals uncertainty. On the third day, prices open with a gap lower and settle substantially lower. The market is now under the control of bears.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH ABANDONED BABY

Definition

This three-candlestick pattern denotes a significant top reversal. With one crucial exception, it is identical to the Bearish Evening Doji Star. The shadows of the first and third days must also gap over the shadows on the Doji. It gets its name from the second day of the pattern, which hangs out on the chart by itself like a first- and third-day infant left behind. The pattern basically consists of a white candlestick, a Doji that gaps away from the prior white candlestick (including shadows), and then a black candlestick that closes well into the first white body.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • On the first day, a white candlestick is observed.
  • Then, on the second day, we observe a Doji whose shadows gap above the upper shadow of the first day.
  • The black candlestick on the third day spans in the other direction without casting any shadows on it.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The Bearish Abandoned Baby must begin with a long white candlestick and end with a Doji that is separated from the preceding candlestick by a gap (including shadows). The pattern's third day is represented by a black candlestick. There might be no difference between the high of this candlestick and the Doji's low. The white candlestick that first emerges at the start of the pattern must close deeply into the black candlestick. According to the other candlesticks in the pattern, the minimum level at which this candlestick must close is determined. The conclusion of the third day must fall halfway between the beginning of the first day and the peak body level of the second day.

Trader’s Behavior

The ongoing rise is confirmed to continue by a white candlestick. The Doji's appearance along with the wide gap shows that the bulls are still driving the price higher. The tight price action between the open and close, however, demonstrates hesitation and worsens the prior trend. On the third day, prices open with a gap lower and settle substantially lower. The market is now under the control of bears.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH TRI STAR

Definition

The pattern consists of three Doji in succession. This pattern is extremely uncommon, so when it does appear, it should not be disregarded.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • There are three Doji visible in a row.
  • The second day is separated from the first and third by a gap.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The second Doji gaps above the previous two Doji to form the Bearish Three Star, which consists of three Doji in a row. The fact that the gap is a body gap suffices. The space between shadows is not necessary.

Trader’s Behavior

On the event of a Bearish Tri Star, the market has been in an extended upswing. The smaller bodies, on the other hand, are likely a sign of the deteriorating trend. The initial doji raises some red flags. The market is losing direction, as shown by the second Doji. The third doji signals the end of the uptrend in the end. This pattern denotes a lack of decision-making that caused positions to be switched.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH TWO CROWS

Definition

Three candlesticks make up this design. The two ravens who perched on the first white candlestick are represented by the black candlesticks of the second and third days.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • On the first day, a sturdy white candlestick appears.
  • The second day is a gaping black candlestick.
  • Another black candlestick that opens inside the body of the second day and closes inside the body of the first day appears on the final day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

The robust white body should be the Bearish Two Crows' opening card. Following the first candlestick is a black body that creates an upside-down body gap. Another black body, the third day begins at or after the end of the second day. The third day should end within the first day's body limits.

Trader’s Behavior

The strong white candlestick strengthens the already existing bullishness, which has been on an upswing. The following day's opening gap is higher. A brief black candlestick forms as prices begin to decline somewhat. Even though a black body appears on this day, prices fail to close below the close of the previous day, so the bulls are not worried by it. The third day begins at or slightly higher than the close of the second day, but gradually drops throughout the day and closes well inside the first day's body. The action on the third day fills the void left by the second day and demonstrates how the bullishness is waning.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH THREE INSIDE DOWN

Definition

This pattern has been identified as a Bearish Harami. The third day serves as bearish confirmation, and the first two lines exactly match the Bearish Harami.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • In the first two days, we observe a Bearish Harami (or a Harami Cross) pattern.
  • On the third day, we then observe a black candlestick with a lower close than the previous day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

All of the guidelines previously established should be used to recognise a bearish Harami (or Harami Cross) pattern. The third day must have a lower close and be a black day.

Trader’s Behavior

Since the second day's small body (or Doji) indicates that bullish power is waning, the Bearish Three Inside Down already signals a trend reversal. This fact is supported by the third day, but more evidence is needed for a bearish reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

BEARISH THREE OUTSIDE DOWN

Definition

This bearish engulfing pattern has been verified. The Bearish Engulfing pattern is exactly replicated in the first two lines, and the third day serves as confirmation of the pattern.

Recognition Criteria

  • The market is distinguished by a strong uptrend.
  • In the first two days, a Bearish Engulfing pattern is visible.
  • On the third day, we then observe a black candlestick with a lower closing than the previous day.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

All the guidelines previously established should be used to recognise a bearish engulfing pattern. The third day ought to have a negative tone and a lower close.

Trader’s Behavior

The first two days of the Bearish Three Outside Down are just a Bearish Engulfing Pattern, and the third day, which is a black candlestick closing with a new low for the past three days, confirms that the uptrend is damaged as suggested by this pattern. A second confirmation is still required, though, for a bearish reversal.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The final close is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The most recent high is the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH THREE GAP UPS

Definition

This bearish reversal pattern has four days. It comprises of three days in a row with higher opening gaps. The market becomes extremely overbought and prepared for the current uptrend to reverse after three gap ups.

Recognition Criteria

  • Any colour may be used for the first day.
  • Any colour is acceptable for the second day as long as its body separates from the first day's body.
  • The bodies of the past two days must gape up from the bodies of the earlier days because they are white.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

Days one and two of the Bearish The latter two days must be white, but the other three Gap Ups can be any colour. There must be spaces between the candlesticks for upside-down bodies.

Trader’s Behavior

With three straight gaps upward, the market is overbought, and now is the time to take profits.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The middle of the final white body is referred to as the confirmation level. For confirmation, prices must cross below this level.

The higher of the last two highs is used to establish the stop loss level. If prices rise following a bearish signal and close above the stop loss level or make two consecutive daily highs while no bullish pattern is visible, the stop loss is activated.

BEARISH STOP LOSS

Definition

This does not follow the typical candlestick pattern. The stop loss complement of all recognised bullish patterns is all that it is. Two consecutive lows or a close below the stop loss level of a recently confirmed bullish pattern are required for the bearish stop loss to be activated.

Recognition Criteria

  • The confirmation and stop loss levels of a bullish pattern are identified.
  • Once the pattern is confirmed, a buy signal is given.
  • Prices either hit lows below the stop loss level twice in a row or close once below the stop loss level.
  • It triggers the bearish stop loss.

Pattern Requirements and Flexibility

All bullish candlesticks have a certain stop loss level that, once the pattern is confirmed, goes into effect. Therefore, a bullish confirmation could result in a bullish BUY signal. The stop loss is triggered if, after the BUY, prices fall instead of rising and close below or make two successive daily lows below the stop loss level without the appearance of a bearish pattern. Once activated, the stop loss level of the most recent bullish pattern confirmation begins to function as the confirmation level of a bearish pattern itself. In order to send out a SELL or SHORT signal, the system then looks for a bearish confirmation. For the triggered stop loss to be considered bearish, prices must cross below the stop loss level.

Trader’s Behavior

It is difficult to predict that all bullish wagers would succeed in the tumultuous stock market climate. However, the majority of bullish wagers supported by valid candlestick patterns will succeed. However, some candlestick patterns, some of which are bull traps, may result in erroneous trades. The stop loss is specifically useful in this situation. For the bulls, it acts as a safety valve, reducing the potentially disastrous losses to a manageable level. The statistics show that trades based on confirmations of bearish stop losses are just as profitable as signals based on other candlestick patterns. They should never be avoided if verified.

Buy/Stop Loss Levels

The stop loss level of the most recent confirmed bullish candlestick pattern is known as the confirmation level. Prices need to close below this level in order for the bearish stop loss to be validated.
