EXPLAINATION
The (Bearish) Three Black Crows pattern is identified that the market has been at a high price for too long and the market is approaching the top or already at the top.
A downward move is shown at the first long bearish candlestick.
The next two long bearish candlesticks show further decline in price due to profit taking by the buyers as the bull cannot be substained anymore.
The 3rd grade reversal patterns are reliable group of reversal patterns.
POINT TO NOTE
The opening price of the second and third candlesticks can be anywhere within the previous candlestick's body.
However it is better to see the opening prices below the middle of previous candlestick's body.
If the long bearish candlesticks are very extended, we must note of an oversold market.
The reliability of this pattern is very high, but still a confirmation on the fourth day is required to show that the uptrend has reversed in a form of a bearish candlestick which a lower close or a gap down is suggested.
