21 Candlesticks

 
Pattern Requirements and Flexibility
The first candlestick of a Bullish Descent Block should be a normal or long black candlestick. The 
following consecutive black candlesticks must open within the range of the previous day’s body, and 
close below the previous day’s close. The bodies of the three black candlesticks should get shorter, 
while the lower shadows get longer. 
BULLISH DELIBERATION BLOCK 
Definition 
This pattern consists of three consecutive black candlesticks with consecutively lower closes in a 
downtrend. It is the compliment of the Bearish Deliberation Block Pattern. 
 
Recognition Criteria 
1. Market is characterized by a prevailing downtrend. 
2. A black candlestick appears on the first day.
3. The next day is another black candlestick, which opens in the range of the previous day’s body and 
closes below the previous day’s close. 
4. The final day is a short black candlestick, a spinning top or a Doji that gaps down below the second 
day. 
 
Pattern Requirements and Flexibility 
The first two black candlesticks appearing in the Bullish Deliberation Block should not be short. The 
second day should open at or higher than the close of the first day, while the close of the second day 
should be at or below the close of the first day. The gapping down third candlestick can be a short 
black candlestick or a Doji.

BULLISH SQUEEZE ALERT 
Definition 
This is a three-day bullish reversal pattern. It was developed because of the frequent event where 
prices can break to the upside following this pattern, especially if the pattern is preceded by a strong 
downside move. 
 
Recognition Criteria 
1. The market is characterized by a prevailing downtrend. 
2. A black candlestick appears on the first day.
3. The second and third days each have lower highs and higher lows than the previous day. Their color 
is not important. 
4. The sizes of the bodies of the three days do not matter.
