Rising and Falling Three Methods

A continuation pattern: a strong candle, a few small counter candles, then another strong candle.

The rising three methods pattern has a long bullish candle, three small bearish candles staying within its range, then another long bullish candle closing above the first.

It shows a pause inside a trend rather than a reversal. The falling version works in downtrends.

It is less common but useful to stay with trends rather than exit early.
