Large bearish → doji with a gap → bullish candle that crosses the midpoint

How to identify the pattern

Step-by-step checks
  • First candle: a large bearish candle extending the downtrend
  • Second candle: a doji that gaps down from the first body, with identical open and close
  • Third candle: a large bullish candle that closes above the midpoint of the first body
  • The gap around the doji clearly strengthens the signal
  • Volume rises on the third candle (the confirmation)

Trading psychology

The power struggle between buyers and sellers
A doji at the low means sellers have lost control completely. Neither bulls nor bears can decide the session. Then the third candle shows buyers taking the initiative. The perfect match in the doji makes the turning point cleaner than an ordinary Morning Star.
