Concealing Baby Swallow

CONCEALING BABY SWALLOW

Description

The first two days of the signal, two Black Marubozus, demonstrate the continuation of the downtrend. The third day, the Reverse Hammer illustrates that the downtrend is losing steam. Notice that it gapped down on the open, then traded up into the previous days trading range. This demonstrated buying strength. The last day opens higher and closes below the previous days close. It completely engulfs the whole trading range of the prior day. Although the trading ended at the trends low point, the magnitude of the downtrend had deteriorated significantly. Expect buying to show itself at these levels. This is a very rare signal.

Criteria

  1. Two large Black Marubozus make up the beginning of this pattern.
  2. The third day is a Reverse Hammer formation. It gaps down from the previous day’s close.
  3. The final day completely engulfs the third day, including the shadow.

Pattern Psychology

The bears have been in control for awhile. At the end of a downtrend, two Black Marubozu days appear. The third day gaps down at its low, then trades up into the trading range of the previous day. This buying is then negated by the sellers stepping back in. However, the bears have taken notice of the buying that occurred. The final day opens higher, again causing much concern for  the sellers. As it sells off for the rest of the day, the concerned shorts have time to cover their positions. The new closing low is not of the same magnitude of the previous down days of the trend. The buyers do not run into very much selling resistance from here.
