Triple Candle Patterns

Bearish Abandoned Baby

Sutego Aka-chan

The Bearish Abandoned Baby is one of the rarest and most reliable top reversal patterns in candlestick analysis. It features a doji that is completely isolated by gaps on both sides, signaling an abrupt and dramatic shift from buying to selling pressure.

Bearish Advance Block

Saki Zumari

The Bearish Advance Block shows three consecutive bullish candles with progressively smaller bodies and longer upper shadows, signaling that buying momentum is weakening and a reversal or consolidation is likely.

Bearish Deliberation

Akasansen Shianboshi

The Deliberation pattern shows two strong bullish candles followed by a small-bodied third candle, indicating that the uptrend is 'deliberating' — the bulls have stalled and are uncertain about pushing higher.

Bearish Downside Tasuki Gap

Shita Banare Tasuki

The Downside Tasuki Gap is a bearish continuation pattern in a downtrend where a gap-down is partially but not completely filled by a bullish candle, suggesting that the downtrend will continue as the gap acts as resistance.

Bearish Evening Doji Star

Yoi No Doji Boshi

The Evening Doji Star is a top-tier three-candle bearish reversal pattern. The doji in the star position represents the pivot point between bullish confidence (first candle) and bearish dominance (third candle), making it one of the most reliable reversal signals in candlestick analysis.

Bearish Identical Three Crows

Doji Sanba Garasu

The identical three crows pattern consists of three bearish candles where each opens at or near the previous candle's close, creating a staircase-like decline. It is a stronger variant of the three black crows with more specific opening criteria.

Bearish Side-by-Side White Lines

Narabi Aka

Bearish side-by-side white lines is a rare three-candle continuation pattern in a downtrend. A bearish candle is followed by two similar-sized bullish candles that gap down. Despite the bullish candles, the gap is not filled, signaling that sellers maintain control.

Bearish Three Black Crows

Sanba Garasu

Three black crows is a powerful bearish reversal pattern consisting of three consecutive long bearish candles, each opening within the prior candle's body and closing near its low. It signals strong, persistent selling pressure and a likely trend reversal.

Bearish Three Declining Soldiers

Three declining soldiers feature three consecutive bearish candles with progressively smaller bodies, indicating that while selling continues, its momentum is weakening. The pattern signals a reversal but with less conviction than three black crows.

Bearish Three Inside Down

The three inside down is a confirmed bearish harami pattern. A long bullish candle is followed by a smaller bearish candle inside its body, then a third bearish candle closes below the first candle's low, providing definitive reversal confirmation.

Bearish Three Outside Down

The three outside down is a confirmed bearish engulfing pattern. A small bullish candle is engulfed by a larger bearish candle, then a third bearish candle closes below the second candle's low, providing definitive confirmation of the reversal.

Bearish Tri-Star

Sansei Boshi

The bearish tri-star is an extremely rare and powerful reversal pattern consisting of three consecutive doji candles, with the middle doji gapping higher. Three sessions of complete indecision at the top of an uptrend signal that buying momentum has evaporated.

Bearish Two Crows

Niwa Garasu

The two crows pattern features a long bullish candle followed by two bearish candles that gap above it. The second crow engulfs the first and closes into or below the bullish candle's body, signaling that the uptrend is failing despite the initial gaps higher.

Bearish Upside Gap Two Crows

Uwa Banare Niwa Garasu

The upside gap two crows features a long bullish candle followed by two bearish candles that gap above it. Crucially, the gap between the first candle and the crows remains unfilled, creating an 'island' of bearish candles. The third candle engulfs the second, confirming the reversal.
