Indication: Bearish reversal
Reliability: High Description: During an uptrend, three long black candles occur with consecutively lower closes. This pattern suggests that the market has been at a high price for too long, and investors are beginning to compensate for it. More significant if it appears after a mature advance.
6. Dark Cloud Cover
Indication: Bearish reversal
Reliability: High Description: During an uptrend, the first candlestick is a long white one. The second candlestick is black with an open above the high of the previous candlestick and close within but below the midpoint of the first candlestick's body. The Dark Cloud Cover pattern suggests an opportunity for the shorts to capitalize on the next candlestick's open. It is a warning sign for bullish investors. The greater the penetration of the first candlestick by the second and the higher the volume is on the second candle, the more significant this pattern is. In addition, if the second body opens above a major resistance level - it may indicate a strong reversal. The Dark Cloud Cover pattern is the opposite of the Piercing line pattern.
