Three Black Crows
Three consecutive strong down candles, each opening within the prior body and closing near its low — a powerful bearish reversal.
Three black crows are the bearish mirror of three white soldiers: three long red candles in a row, each opening inside the prior body and closing near its low. After an uptrend, the persistent selling warns of a meaningful reversal.
Similar-sized bodies with small lower wicks make the cleanest pattern. Like its bullish twin, it can become overextended and bounce.
