Three White Soldiers
Also known as: Three White Soldiers Pattern
Three consecutive large green candles with higher closes. A clear sign of a buyer takeover.
What it looks like
Each candle opens within the previous body and closes near its high, little upper wick, steady upward pressure.
What it means
Sustained, broad buying power over three periods. Especially meaningful after a downtrend or basing phase.
How it is traded
Long entry after confirmation; stop below the low of the first soldier candle. Note: after three large candles the market is often short-term overbought.
Where & when, plus the limits
Strong, but late entries are risky (exhaustion risk). The bearish counterpart is the Three Black Crows.
