Three Outside Down Pattern: A Bearish Reversal Signal
What is the Three Outside Down Pattern? The Three Outside Down is a three-candle bearish reversal pattern that appears after an uptrend, signalling a potential shift from buying momentum to selling pressure
First Candle - Bullish Momentum A bullish candle forms during an uptrend, reflecting strong buying pressure in the market
Second Candle - Bearish Engulfing Move A strong bearish candle follows and completely engulfs the body of the first candle, indicating that sellers are gaining control
Third Candle - Downtrend Confirmation A third bearish candle closes lower than the previous candle, confirming the potential reversal toward a downward trend
Confirmation & Volume Traders usually look for continued price decline after the pattern. Higher trading volume during the second and third candles strengthens the bearish signal
