Three White Soldiers and Three Black Crows

Three strong candles in a row show powerful, sustained pressure.

Three white soldiers are three consecutive long bullish candles, each closing higher with small wicks. Three black crows are the bearish counterpart after an advance.

They show persistent pressure, but after a long move the market may already be extended, so entries can be late.

Use them as trend confirmation and look to trade pullbacks, not to chase the third candle.

Key takeaways

• Three strong candles in the same direction
• Confirms momentum but can be late
• Prefer pullback entries
