What is the Tasuki Gap Pattern? The Tasuki Gap is a three-candle continuation pattern that appears during strong trends, signalling that the existing price direction may continue
First Two Candles – Gap in the Trend Direction Two candles form in the direction of the current trend with a visible price gap between them, reflecting strong market momentum
Third Candle – Partial Gap Fill The third candle moves in the opposite direction and partially fills the gap, but fails to close it completely, suggesting the trend remains intact
Why Is It Important? The Tasuki Gap pattern indicates that short-term profit booking or counter-trend moves are limited, and the overall trend still has strength
Confirmation & Volume Traders usually look for price to continue moving in the original trend direction after the pattern. Rising trading volume supports the continuation signal
