Three Black Crows Pattern

The Three Black Crows is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that typically appears at the top of an uptrend. This pattern consists of three consecutive long bearish (red or black) candlesticks, each closing lower than the previous one. It signals a strong shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish, indicating that sellers are in control.

Characteristics of the Three Black Crows Pattern:

    • Third Candle: A third long bearish candlestick that opens within the body of the second candle and closes lower than the second candle’s close.
