How to identify the pattern

  • Existing uptrend
  • Second candle: bullish, gapping up from the first
  • Third candle: bearish, opening inside the body of the second
  • The third candle closes inside the gap without closing it fully

Trading psychology

The power struggle between buyers and sellers
The gap up shows buying enthusiasm. The attempt to take gains in the third candle fails to fill the gap, which suggests the new support is holding and the uptrend is healthy.

Outlook and confirmation
