BULLISH BREAKAWAY

There is a downtrend but we also see that the prices bottom out and level off now. The result is a long white candlestick that however does not close the initial downward gap of the first and second days. This suggests a short-term reversal.



Recognition Criteria:

1. Market is characterized by downtrend.
2. We see a long black candlestick in the first day.
3. Then we see a black candlestick on the second day with a gap below the first day.
4. Bearish mood continues on the third and fourth days as evidenced by lower consecutive closes.
5. Finally however, we see a long white candlestick on the fifth day characterized by a closing price inside the gap caused by the first and second days.

Explanation:

The Bullish Breakaway Pattern appears during a downtrend and it shows that selling accelerated to the point of an oversold market. It starts with a long black day then involves a gap in the direction of the downtrend followed by three consecutively lower price days. So far, all days in this pattern are black with the exception of the third day, which can be either be black or white. The three days after the gap are similar to the Three Black Crows pattern since their highs and lows are each consecutively lower. It is by now apparent that the downtrend has accelerated with a big gap and then starts to fizzle, however it still continues. There is an evident slow deterioration of the downtrend suggested by this pattern. Finally, we see a burst in the opposite direction, which completely recovers the previous three days' price action. The gap is not filled which points out to the weakness of the reversal. This is a short-term reversal.

Important Factors:

A confirmation on the sixth day is recommended in the form of a white candlestick, a large gap up or a higher close, to be sure about the reversal.
