How the pattern looks on a chart

What it is

Each candle opens within the prior body and closes near its high, stacking three solid up-days in a row. It typically appears after a downtrend or consolidation.

What it signals

It signals a strong shift to bullish control and possible trend reversal or continuation higher. Small upper wicks add conviction.

How to spot it

Three bullish candles in sequence, each with a higher close and a similar or larger body, with little upper wick. Very long candles late in a move can also warn of exhaustion.

One caveat

Never trade a single candle in isolation. It only carries weight with context — location at a key level, the prevailing trend, and confirmation from the next candle or from volume. On its own it is a hint, not a signal.
