Lesson 4: 5.3: Triple Candlestick Patterns
Identify high-probability three-candle structural setups such as Morning Stars, Evening Stars, and Three White Soldiers.
1. The Morning and Evening Star
The Morning Star is a bullish reversal pattern consisting of three candles: a large red candle, a small-bodied candle (or Doji) that gaps down, and a large green candle that closes deep within the first candle's body. It represents the dawn of a new uptrend.
The Evening Star is the bearish equivalent: a large green candle, a small gapping candle showing exhaustion, and a large red candle closing deep in the green body, signaling a structural peak.
2. Three White Soldiers and Three Black Crows
Three White Soldiers is a bullish continuation or reversal pattern consisting of three consecutive long green candles, each opening within the previous body and closing near the high. It indicates relentless buying pressure.
Three Black Crows is the bearish counterpart, comprising three consecutive red candles closing near their lows, representing absolute institutional liquidation.
