The Three Black Crows is a bearish reversal pattern. This forms at the peak of an uptrend. It forms as a series of three long consecutive bearish candles.
Identifying the Three Black Crows
The Three Black Crows candle pattern is formed by three consecutive bear candles that develop at the end of a downtrend. The opening of one candle is almost at the same level or slightly higher than the close of the previous candle. This signals the development of a strong downtrend.
The Three Black Crows pattern usually develops when the markets experience high volatility. For example, after a news item is released resulting in a strong uptrend, the Three Black Crows will usually form when the trend suddenly reverses driving prices down again.
