BULLISH THREE INSIDE UP
Definition
This is a confirmed Bullish Harami pattern. The first two candlesticks are exactly the same as the Bullish Harami, and the third day represents bullish confirmation.
Recognition Criteria
1. The market is characterized by a prevailing downtrend.
2. We see a Bullish Harami (or a Harami Cross) pattern in the first two days.
3. Then, we see a white candlestick on the third day with a higher close than the second day.
Pattern Requirements and Flexibility
A Bullish Harami (or Harami Cross) pattern should be identified with all previously set rules. The third day should be a white day with a higher close.
Trader’s Behavior
The second day of the Bullish Three Inside Up signals a trend reversal since the second day’s small body (or Doji) already showed that the bearish power was diminishing. The third day confirms this fact, but still a further confirmation is required for a bullish reversal.
Buy/Stop Loss Levels
The confirmation level is defined as the last close. Prices should cross above this level for confirmation.
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.
