Prior contextHighlighted pattern · confirmation follows

Exact formation

Three consecutive bullish candles, long bodies, openings within the previous body and progressively higher closes.

What is happening in the market

Demand remains in control for three sessions and buys each initial pullback.

Where it matters

After fall, base or breakout. If it appears too extended, it may arrive late and increase the risk of setback.

How to confirm it

Conservation of at least part of the third body and rupture of the previous structure.

When it is invalidated

Immediate rollback that deletes the sequence and closes below its origin.

Common mistake

Chasing the third candle when it is already far from support and the risk/reward ratio worsened.
