The “Almost Three Black Crows” Pattern — A Silent Trend Killer
At first, the chart looks bullish. Higher highs, clean green candles, confidence building. This is where most traders feel safe.
Then the tone changes.
Near the top, price starts printing strong bearish candles, one after another. Not shallow pullbacks — but decisive red bodies that erase previous progress. This is the market shifting control, not correcting.
This pattern is often confused with a simple pullback, but the clues are clear:
• Sellers step in aggressively near highs.
• Buying momentum stalls instantly.
• Liquidity above the highs is taken.
• Recovery attempts fail quickly.
The small green candle after the drop is the trap. It gives hope. But when price can’t reclaim the highs and another heavy red candle follows, the direction reveals itself.
Whether you call it Three Black Crows–style distribution or a bearish momentum shift, the message is the same: protect profits, stop chasing, and respect the change in candle behavior.
Markets don’t reverse randomly.
They warn — candle by candle.
