BEARISH THREE GAP UPS
Definition
This is a four-day bearish reversal pattern. It consists of three consecutive days, each opening with a gap up. After Three Gap Ups, the market becomes significantly overbought, signaling a potential reversal of the current uptrend.
Recognition Criteria
1. The first day can be of any color.
2. The second day also can be of any color, so long as its body gaps up away from the first day’s body.
3. The last two days are white and their bodies must gap up from the bodies of the prior days.
Pattern Requirements and Flexibility
The first two days of the Bearish Three Gap Ups pattern can be of any color, but the last two days must be white. Additionally, there should be upside body gaps between the candlesticks.
Trader’s Behavior
The market is significantly overbought following three consecutive gap ups, signaling it is time for profit-taking.
Sell/Stop-Loss Levels
The confirmation level is defined as the midpoint of the last white body. For confirmation, prices should fall below this level.
The stop-loss level is defined as the higher of the last two highs. Following the bearish signal, if prices rise instead of falling and either close above or make two consecutive daily highs above the stop-loss level, without detecting any bullish pattern, the stop-loss is triggered.
