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 – and the limits
Strong, but late entries are risky (exhaustion risk). The bearish counterpart is the Three Black Crows.
