What is Three Black Crows: Bearish Reversal Pattern?

Three Black Crows is a bearish reversal pattern. The pattern is seen after an uptrend. It consists of three large, consecutive declining black candles. Criteria for this formation is that all the three candles should close near the lows and each candle should open within the prior candles' body. However, this has an exception when the first candle of this formation opens in a gap.

Traders should keep patience or wait for counter-trend rally before exiting long positions or entering into short position. Reason behind this is that the stock could have had a long pullback when the third candle forms. Hence, one should wait for a bounce before going short or exiting longs.

This pattern should be confirmed with previous support and resistance.
