Definition

 

Bullish Tri Star formation forecasts an upcoming ascending trend, signalling a trend reversal. It consists of three Dojis. The middle Doji is a Doji Star.

  • Trend: Reversal
  • Expected trend: Bullish
  • Previous trend: Bearish
  • Reliability: Moderate
  • Type: Bullish
  • Number: 3

Recognition

  • The market is in a downward trend.
  • All three days are Dojis.
  • The first and third Doji is a gap higher than the second Doji.

Interpretation

The appearance of a Doji in a long, inclining trend makes investors unsure. The second Doji is a gap below the first one. At this point the prices changes should be monitored closely. Narrow trading ranges indicate the weakening of the current trend and may forecast a possible trend reversal. The third day is also a Doji, but the trading range is higher than on the previous day. There is a high chance for reversal, but a confirmation is still needed.

Important factors

To make sure the trend is reversed, a confirmation on the fourth day is needed. The confirmation could come from a white candle with an upward gap or a higher closing price.
