Candlestick Patterns

Pattern		Timeframe	Candles Ago	Candle Time
Completed Patterns
	Engulfing Bullish	1W	3	Dec 26, 2021
Indication Bullish reversal Reliability Medium Description During a downtrend, the Bullish Engulfing depicts an opening at a new low and closes at or above the previous candle's open. This signifies that the downtrend has lost momentum and the bulls may be gaining strength. Factors increasing the pattern's effectiveness are: 1) The first candlestick has a small real body and the second has a large real body. 2) Pattern appears after protracted or very fast move. 3) Heavy volume on second real body. 4) The second candlestick engulfs more than one real body.
	Three Outside Down Bearish	1D	8	Jan 06, 2022
Indication Bearish reversal Reliability High Description This pattern is a more reliable addition to the standard Engulfing pattern. A bearish Engulfing pattern occurs in the first two candles. The third candle is a black one with a lower close than the second candle. The third candlestick is confirmation of the bearish trend reversal.
	Abandoned Baby Bearish	15	8	Jan 19, 2022 01:30
Indication Bearish reversal Reliability High Description A very rare pattern characterized by a upside "Doji" gap which is then followed by a downside gap. The shadows on the "Doji" must completely gap above the shadows of the first and third candlesticks.
	Evening Doji Star	15	8	Jan 19, 2022 01:30
Indication Bearish reversal Reliability High Description During an uptrend, the market builds strength on a long white candlestick. The second candlestick trades within a small range and closes at or near its open. This scenario generally shows an erosion of confidence in the current trend. Confirmation of the trend reversal is the black third candlestick. The Evening Doji Star indicator is the fully realized bearish Doji Star pattern.
	Evening Star	15	8	Jan 19, 2022 01:30
Indication Bearish reversal Reliability High Description During an uptrend, the market builds strength on a long white candlestick. The second candlestick trades within a small range and closes at or near its open. This scenario generally shows an erosion of confidence in the current trend. Confirmation of the trend reversal is the black third candlestick. A gap between the second and the third bodies is not a must.
