Candlestick shape · 3 bars · ▼ bearish
Definition
The textbook label for this shape is ▼ bearish. The label describes the shape; it is not an instruction.
QuantZ does not claim this shape has predictive value. The detector reports that the bars met a definition; it says nothing about what follows.
The rule the detector applies
three long down bars, each opening inside the previous body and closing below the previous close, with short lower shadows; after a rise
Thresholds are named by the option key the code reads. The values below are the ones the detector ships with, read at render from its defaults; every ratio is measured against the bar’s own range or the trailing average body, so the same numbers apply to a low-priced stock and to a high-priced coin.
- bodyAvgPeriod = 14
- longBodyRatio = 1
- shortBodyRatio = 0.5
- trendLookback = 5
