What is the "Up Gap Side by Side Black Lines"

"Up Gap Side by Side Black Lines" is a candlestick
formation that indicates the continuation of a bullish trend. This pattern
usually occurs in a bull market and shows that the bullish trend is strong.
During an uptrend, buyers are satisfied and create the impression that the

positions and provides an opportunity to earn more profit. Generally, prices
are trending upwards, but it's important not to forget that the opposite
scenario is also possible because financial markets are filled with
uncertainties.
How is the "Up Gap Side by Side Black Lines"
candlestick pattern formed?
The Up Gap Side by Side Black Lines candlestick pattern is
considered a strong indication that a bullish trend will continue. The
structure of this pattern starts with an upward candle followed by an upward
gap. Above the gap, two side by side bearish candles are observed, indicating
the strength and stability of the bullish trend. The Up Gap Side by Side Black
Lines candlestick pattern has the following structure:
First bullish candle: The first candlestick is a bullish
candle with a long body. This green candlestick represents the upward trend.
Up Gap: After the first bullish candle, an upward gap
occurs. This gap is thought of as bulls pushing prices higher, similar to bulls
lifting prices higher by their horns.
Side by Side Black Lines (Candles): Above the gap, two black
(or red) candles form, and both candles have nearly identical bodies. In this
case, since the black (or red) candles cannot breach the gap downward, it is
understood that the uptrend will continue.
The Up Gap Side by Side Black Lines candlestick pattern
consists of a bullish candle, an upward gap (up gap), and two small bearish

corrective movements.
