BULLISH ONE WHITE SOLDIER
Definition
This pattern appears in a downtrend and consists of a black candlestick followed by a white candlestick. The white candlestick opens above the previous day’s close and closes above its own open. The pattern is similar to the Bullish Harami pattern. The key difference is that the second day closes higher, preventing the white body from being engulfed by the preceding black body.
Recognition Criteria
1. The market is currently defined by a dominant downward trend.
2. A black body is observed on the first day.
3. The white body that is formed on the second day opens higher than the first day’s close and closes higher than the first day’s open.
Pattern Requirements and Flexibility
The Bullish One White Soldier pattern consists of a black candlestick followed by a white candlestick. The lengths of the candlesticks should be normal or long. On the second day, the market opens above the previous day’s close, and the closing price surpasses the opening price of the first day.
Trader’s Behavior
A downtrend is in progress and the strong black candlestick seen on the first day increases the bearishness that is already present. As the second day opens higher than the close, the short traders are alarmed. Prices rise to the point where the close crosses above the previous day’s opening. The downtrend is damaged. If prices keep on rising on the following days, a major trend reversal takes place.
Buy/Stop-Loss Levels
The confirmation level is set at the last closing price. For confirmation, prices need to surpass this level.
The stop-loss level is set at the last low. After a BUY signal, the stop-loss is triggered if prices decline instead of rising and either close below the stop-loss level or record two consecutive daily lows below it, without any bearish pattern being detected.
