– The Pattern is characterized by Three white consecutive candles, each with a higher High; the Open of the Second and Third Candle are within the Real Body of the Previous Candle.

– The Real Bodies of the Candles have the same length (More or less); better if the Real Body of each Candle is longer than the Real Body of the Previous Candle.

– Normally the Open of the Second and Third Candle are below the Close of the Previous Candle (Or at the same level).

– The Highs are gradually higher, whereas the Close of the Candles should be above the High of the Previous Candle.

– In case that the first Candle after the Pattern is a black Long Line that makes an “Engulfing Pattern”, it is a strong signal of Bearish Reversal.
