CANDLESTICK PATTERNS

Candlestick patterns in the Kabra workstation

Candlestick formations surface inside the Technical tab of the Equity Research Suite, grouped by intent — bullish reversal, bearish reversal, and indecision. Agent Swarm adds an independent consensus read when a pattern forms.

Bullish reversal patterns

After a downtrend, these formations suggest buyers are taking control. Kabra surfaces them alongside agent consensus for a cross-check.

  • Hammer

    Small body near the top, long lower wick — buyers rejected lower prices.

  • Inverted hammer

    Small body near the bottom, long upper wick — buyers tested higher before closing back.

  • Bullish engulfing

    A large bullish candle fully engulfs the prior bearish one.

  • Piercing line

    Bullish candle closes above the midpoint of the prior bearish candle.

  • Morning star

    Three-bar pattern: down candle, small-bodied indecision, up candle closing into the first's body.

  • Three white soldiers

    Three consecutive long bullish candles with higher closes — strong reversal signal.

Bearish reversal patterns

After an uptrend, these formations suggest sellers are stepping in. Kabra flags them inside the Technical tab for review.

  • Shooting star

    Small body near the bottom, long upper wick — sellers rejected higher prices.

  • Hanging man

    Small body near the top, long lower wick — appears at trend tops, warning sign.

  • Bearish engulfing

    A large bearish candle fully engulfs the prior bullish one.

  • Dark cloud cover

    Bearish candle opens above the prior high and closes below the prior midpoint.

  • Evening star

    Three-bar pattern: up candle, small-bodied indecision, down candle closing into the first's body.

  • Three black crows

    Three consecutive long bearish candles with lower closes — strong reversal signal.

Indecision / continuation

Neither buyers nor sellers dominate. Kabra treats these as neutral context — Agent Swarm and multi-timeframe analysis help resolve direction.

  • Doji

    Open and close are nearly identical — classic indecision signal.

  • Spinning top

    Small body, long wicks on both sides — tight battle between buyers and sellers.

  • Rising / falling three methods

    Continuation pattern — a small-bodied counter-trend cluster inside a larger dominant trend.
