THREE OUTSIDE DOWN CANDLESTICK PATTERN

On candlestick charts, the three outside down are three-candle reversal formations. The pattern requires three candles to develop in a precise order, indicating that the current trend has slowed and may indicate a trend reversal. When a green candlestick is followed by two red-body candles, the pattern is generated.

The pattern's psychology begins with an upward price trend. The bulls are in charge, purchasing everything they see, driving the price upward, and leaving a green candle on the chart. The price starts higher the next day, but closes lower, disappointing the bulls. The bears then seize control of the celebration and order everyone to leave. When the price closes lower the next trading day, it validates their authority.

• The three outside down pattern is a set of three candlesticks that generally indicates a trend reversal.
• One candlestick is followed by two candlesticks of opposite colors in the three outside down patterns.
• Each Candlestick aims to read near-term shifts in mood by using market psychology.

During a bullish market trend, the three outside down candlestick pattern appears. The first day begins with a brief green candlestick, but the second day brings a surprise. A lengthy red candlestick pattern exists, with a body that extends both above and below the previous day's red candlestick, totally covering it. The third day is a bearish one, with a red candlestick closing even lower than the first.

Consider the following facts to establish that the candlestick pattern is 'three outside down.'

• The market is on the rise.
• The first candlestick is a bullish green candle.
• The second candlestick is red with a long real body that surrounds the first candle completely.
• The third candlestick is red with a close lower than the second candle.

The first candle, which is close to the open, retains the bullish pattern, indicating strong purchasing momentum as the bulls gain confidence. The second candle will open higher, but then reverse, with a bear power display crossing the first tick. This market behavior is a red flag for bulls, indicating that they should take a profit or exit because it might be reversed.

Security continues to lose money as its price falls below the first candlestick level, completing a bearish candlestick outside of trading hours. When the safety spots on the third candle make a new low, it builds trust and sends out confirmed signals.

The three outside down patterns show up on a regular basis and are excellent reversal indicators. Although these signals can be employed as primary buying or selling signals, traders should seek confirmation from other chart patterns or technical indicators.

When the major price trend is downward and a short-term upward retracement occurs, the three outside down pattern works well. When the three outer down candles appear, the uptrend is reversed, and price is free to resume the major downturn.

• The reversal rate rises to 90% or more if you wait for the price to close lower the next day.
