missingSTEP — Wed, 08 May 2013 16:57:18 +0000

The Rising Three Method is a bullish continuation pattern (The opposite of the bullish Rising Three Methods pattern is the bearish Falling Three Methods). The first day’s green candlestick is followed by a group of small candlesticks, which hold within the long green candlesticks range. The small candlesticks can be any color but red is most common. The final day is a strong green candlestick with a close above the first day’s close. The formation represents a rest before resuming the bullish trend, which is similar to Flag or Pennant formations.

Intensifying factors:
- The ideal number of small candlesticks is three.
- If on the final day there is heavy volume.

Market School: Japanese Candlesticks – Bullish Harami Pattern

missingSTEP — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 20:25:11 +0000

The Bullish Harami pattern (the reverse of the Engulfing Pattern) is a small green candlestick, which is contained with a prior relatively long red candlestick. The formation is comparable to Inside Day pattern (see NR4 ID). The pattern is more significant if the second candlestick is a Doji. Harami pattern without a Doji is usually not as much of a significant reversal signal as the Engulfing pattern.

The heavy selling is reflected by first day’s long red candlestick, and then it is followed by the small green candlestick which implies uncertainty. This could indicate a trend reversal since the bears’ power has diminished.

Intensifying factors:
- The smaller the second candlestick the stronger the reversal signal.

Market School: Japanese Candlesticks – Bullish Engulfing Pattern

missingSTEP — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 16:40:35 +0000

The Bullish Engulfing Pattern is a reversal pattern characterized by a large green candlestick engulfing a red small candlestick, which appears after a downtrend.

The market has to be clearly in a downtrend. Day one continues the trend with a short red candlestick which suggests that the bears are still in command. The second day is a long green day that engulfs the body of the first day, closing well above the previous days open. This implies that the downtrend is losing momentum and the bulls are taking control.

Intensifying factors:
- The higher the relative signs of the bodies, the stronger the reversal signal.
- If the second day of the engulfing pattern engulfs more than one real body.
- If on the second day there is heavy volume.

Market School: Japanese Candlesticks – Bullish Three White Soldiers

missingSTEP — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 19:40:41 +0000

Three White Soldiers is a group of three green candlesticks with consecutively higher closes (The opposite of the bullish Three White Soldiers pattern is the bearish Three Black Crows). If the pattern appears after low prices, then it is a sign of a strong reversal.

After the market has stayed at a low price for too long, we see a significant attempt upward shown by long green candlesticks. The rally continues in the next two days, which forces bears to cover their short positions. Each of the green candlesticks should close at, or near, its highs.

Be cautious, smaller body on the third day could be a signal of a weakening pattern.

Intensifying factors:
- If the opening price is above the middle of the previous day’s body.
- If the pattern appears at a low price area after a period of stable prices.
