Three Black Crows Pattern
Three Black Crows is another bearish reversal pattern that is comprised of three candlesticks. The pattern perhaps gets its name from the black and white charts. In this pattern, all three candlesticks are bearish and they are formed in a way that it looks three crows are perched on a tree branch.
The opening of each candlestick remains within the body of the preceding candlesticks. The closing of each candlestick also remains near the low. A candlestick pattern in this formation indicates that each session is having a lower closing than the previous session therefore the ongoing upwards trend might reverse.
