Three White Soldiers / Three Black Crows
Three soldiers (bullish)
Three consecutive strong green candles, each opening inside the prior body and closing near its high — steady, persistent buying with small upper wicks. After a decline it signals a genuine, non-panicked reversal: demand arriving day after day, not one squeeze.
Three crows (bearish)
The mirror after a rally: three strong red candles, each closing near its low. Persistent distribution. The pattern warns that each rally attempt is being sold — control has flipped.
The caveat
After THREE big candles, price is extended — chasing the 3rd candle is buying someone else's exit. Pros wait for the pullback toward the 1st–2nd candle's body. The pattern informs direction; the entry comes from the retrace.
What you'll practise
True or false: seeing Three White Soldiers, the best entry is immediately at the close of the third candle.
