What is the "Down Gap Side by Side Black Lines"
candlestick pattern?
Down Gap Side by Side Black Lines is a candlestick pattern
that indicates the continuation of a downtrend. This pattern, which is seen in
a bearish trend, signals that the bearish trend will continue. In other words,
bears in the market are still making efforts to push prices down. A down gap in
a downtrend indicates that tension is high and the bears are attacking
mercilessly. The bearish candlesticks that form are proof of this. From this,
it can be understood that the Down Gap Side by Side Black Lines candlestick
formation indicates that the bearish trend will continue.
How is the "Down Gap Side by Side Black Lines"
candlestick pattern formed?
The Down Gap Side by Side Black Lines candlestick pattern is
more commonly seen in downtrends. Sellers who spot this pattern on the price
chart may believe that the downtrend will continue. This belief leads to
increased selling, ultimately causing the price to continue its downward trend.
The Down Gap Side by Side Black Lines candlestick pattern consists of the
following elements:
Bearish candle: The first candle is a long-bodied bearish
candle, typically in red (or black), representing the bearish trend.
Downward gap: Following the first bearish candle, there is a
downward gap, indicating aggressive pressure from bears on prices.
Side by side black candles: Below the gap, two more black
(or red) bearish candles form. These candles may have nearly identical opening
and closing prices, suggesting a period of horizontal movement in prices.
However, the color of the candles clearly indicates the intent of bearish
traders to continue the downtrend.
Thus, the pattern formation is completed, and a fall in
prices is expected. The formation of the candles (all three black/red candles)
and the gap (downward) in the structure of the pattern signal that bears are
still active.
