Bearish Patterns

Dark Cloud Cover - Bullish Pattern🔎 Intro / Overview The Dark Cloud Cover is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that appears after an uptrend . It forms when a strong bullish candle is followed by a bearish candle that opens above the previous high but closes deep into the prior candle’s body, usually below its midpoint. This signals that buyers are losing control and sellers are stepping in at the swing high, hinting at a possible reversal. ___________________________________________________________ 📌 How to Use - Step 1: Identify a strong bullish candle. - Step 2: The next candle must open above the prior high but close below the midpoint → confirmation of bearish pressure. - Step 3: Must appear at/near a swing high. - Validation → Candle closes below the validation line. - Devalidation → Candle closes above the devalidation line before validation. ___________________________________________________________ 🎯 Trading Plan - After pattern confirmation. - Validation Line → Pattern Low. - Devalidation Line → Swing High. - Rule: • If price closes below the validation line → Price enters Reversal Confirmation Zone . • If price closes above the devalidation line (before validation) → Price enters Failure Zone . This protects against false signals and ensures structured risk management. ___________________________________________________________ 📊 Chart Explanation Symbol: NSE:SBIN | Timeframe: 15 min 📌 On 26 Sep · 14:45 , the Dark Cloud Cover pattern was confirmed. - Validation Level: 854.30 → If price closes below, pattern is validated. - Devalidation Level: 858.10 → If price closes above (before validation), pattern is invalidated. ___________________________________________________________ 👀 Observation - Most effective after strong uptrends. - Works best when formed at clear swing highs. - Validation/Devalidation rules filter false signals. ___________________________________________________________ ❗ Why It Matters? - Provides a clear bearish reversal signal at swing highs. - Rule-based entry helps traders avoid emotional decisions. - Enhances discipline by defining zones for confirmation and failure. ___________________________________________________________ 🎯 Conclusion The Dark Cloud Cover Pattern is a reliable bearish reversal tool when combined with validation and devalidation rules.

Bearish Harami Pattern: Spotting Reversals with Discipline🔻Bearish Harami Pattern: Spotting Reversals with Discipline Intro / Overview The Bearish Harami is a candlestick reversal pattern that often appears at the end of an uptrend. It signals a possible shift where bullish momentum weakens and sellers begin to step in. The first candle’s high must be a swing high , and this level can also be used as a stop-loss reference. To trade it effectively, spotting the formation is not enough — strict validation and invalidation rules are key to avoid false signals. ✨ Concept A Bearish Harami is a two-candle pattern: - First candle (Green🟢): A strong bullish candle showing buyer dominance.(Swing high) - Second candle (Red🔴): A smaller bearish candle whose body is fully inside the prior green candle’s body (wicks ideally inside). This forms the “harami” structure, where the red candle looks like it is “inside the green candle,” suggesting a pause in bullish pressure and potential reversal. 📖 How to Use 1️⃣ Identify the pattern: Look for a large green candle followed by a smaller red candle contained within it. 2️⃣ Validation Point: The setup is validated if price closes below the open of the green candle within the next few candles. 3️⃣ Invalidation Point: The setup is invalidated if price closes above the close of the green candle before validation occurs. 4️⃣ Stop-Loss & Targets: - Stop-loss (SL): Place at or just above the swing high (first green candle high). - Target (TP): 1x, 2x, or more times the distance between entry and stoploss. 5️⃣ Enhance Reliability: Combine with resistance levels, trendlines, moving averages, or other candlestick signals to filter out weak setups. 📊 Chart Explanation – Step by Step ✔ The Bearish Harami pattern was spotted after a clear uptrend. ✔ The following candle closed below the green candle’s open → Validation confirmed ✅. ✔ A short entry was taken on the same candle. ✔ A Bearish Harami pattern has also been drawn and highlighted on the chart. 🔍 Observation - If Target 1 is achieved → book 2 lots , and trail the remaining position with a stop-loss. - Harami is only a potential reversal → confirmation is necessary. - Breakdown below the green candle’s open = sellers in control 🔻. - Breakout above the green candle’s close = setup failure ❌. - Patience is key — wait for confirmation before entering. 📌 Why It Matters? The Bearish Harami helps traders by: - Reducing false reversal trades with strict rules. - Providing clear entry/exit levels with discipline. - Enforcing risk management via pre-defined SL & TP. ✅ Conclusion The Bearish Harami becomes powerful when traded with discipline. By marking the open and close of the green candle, traders can clearly separate a valid short trade from a failed setup. With a stop-loss at the swing high and take-profits at 1x, 2x, or more, while trailing further lots, the Harami offers a structured, rule-based strategy. ⚠️ Always remember: the pattern shows possibility → price confirmation makes it probability . ⚠️ Disclaimer For educational purposes only · Not SEBI registered · Not a buy/sell recommendation · No investment advice — purely a learning resource

Urgent Bitcoin Update: BTC Must Hold $110K🚨 Urgent Bitcoin Update: BTC Must Hold $110K – Or Risk Dropping Below $100K BTC is trading near $113,900, sitting right on key support at $112K–$110K. This zone is crucial- Holding it could lead to a rally toward $150K ATH. But if BTC breaks below $110K, expect downside pressure with possible moves to: $100K / $93K / $83K Price has also broken below the ascending trendline- a bearish sign unless bulls step in. I mentioned exiting around $122K–$123K: Hope you booked profits ✅ Now, just observe how BTC reacts between $110K–$112K. Note: NFA & DYOR

PUMP just lost a major support level—is another 40% drop coming?Caution: PUMP just lost a major support level — is another 40% drop coming? The chart shows a clear breakdown in structure after price lost key support at 0.004035. That level acted as a strong base during the recent consolidation, but once broken, it triggered strong selling pressure. Retest Failed: Price attempted to reclaim the support zone but faced rejection and a bearish retest, confirming the breakdown. Previous Drop: 🔸 We already saw a major drop of nearly 50% earlier. 🔸 Now, the projected move suggests a similar drop is likely, targeting the 0.0024 zone and a possible liquidity pool and demand area. Bias: 🔸 Momentum remains bearish below 0.004035. 🔸 Unless price reclaims and holds above that level, the structure favors downside continuation. Keep managing your risk. Avoid chasing entries blindly. More updates soon. NFa & DYOR

Bitcoin isn’t fully bullish yet — most people are falling for thBitcoin isn’t fully bullish yet — most people are falling for the trap BTC just bounced beautifully from the $97.8K–$98K demand zone. It tapped into key confluences: ✅ FVG filled ✅ 0.618-0.786 Fib level 🟪 Bullish Order Block just above 0.786 But let’s be real — we’re not in full bullish mode yet. This looks more like a short-term pullback, not a trend reversal. What I'm Watching Closely: 🔹 BTC is forming two HH & HL patterns. 🔹 Super important for us to track both — they’ll guide the next big move. 🟥 LTF last HH = $108,900 🟥 HTF last HH = $110,654 As long as BTC stays below these, the structure is still bearish. We only flip bullish when candles break and close above them. If Bullish Breakout happens? We’re eyeing new ATH targets toward $150K 🚀 My Plan Right Now: 🔹 Watching $107K & $109K levels for clean short setups. Why? 👉 Low-risk entries 👉 Tight SL 👉 Big reward — Targeting around $100K Stay alert, don’t chase. Let the levels come to us. Let me know in the comments 👇 Are you flipping bullish, or still cautious?

ETH/USDT Dumped hard as I predicted and next Target?ETH SHORT HIT — As Predicted! Hey fam Hope you enjoyed the ETH short setup I shared earlier when price was around $2700–$2800 ETH is now down 22% from that level. Broke support just like we discussed… And remember I said — if $2500 breaks, we could see $2200. Well… we’re already there now ✅ What Now? This is where we start accumulating on spot. Why? Because ETH is currently at the 0.5 Fib level — could hold. If not, we target 0.618 Fib for next entry. Best Accumulation Zone: $2200–$1800 Strong bullish OB around $1782–$1840 If price drops there, expect a solid bounce! I’m personally watching this zone for spot entries targeting $8000–$10,000 next run 🚀 Let me know below if you're buying this dip! And as always… stay tuned for the next sniper setup. NFA & DYOR

PAGEIND - BEARS READY TO TEAR JOCKEY DOWN TO 20% FALL???YES!!!!! Chart patterns made me think of the above titled opinion. REASONS FOR MY IDEA 1.MONTHLY CANDLE BREAKDOWN WITH GOOD VOLUME 2. OCT 2022 Highs not tested even during 2024 bullish phase shows weakness 3. Weekly candle too shows a voluminous breakdown as shown below 4. 3 BLACK CROWS pattern in the daily time frame recently adds to the woes 5. I will mostly wait for the white trendline break for the entry.(though it is now at the resistance trendline , recent bullish candles may delay the down rally) 6. Given the sl , target are extreme levels.....will update after the white line breakdown. LET THE MARKET DECIDE.....WE WILL WAIT AND WATCH!!!!! This is just my opinion.....not a tip nor advice.

Will Bitcoin Test $65000 level soon ?🚨 #BTC/USDT SMC Update and Fresh Analysis 🚨 Our previous short setup played out perfectly with a solid -21% move from the $94,000 region, catching the local top and dumping all the way to $75,000. What’s next? From a Smart Money Concepts (SMC) perspective, current PA suggests another local top might be in. 🔹 Bearish Order Block just got tapped 🔹 Strong Resistance seen near the $86,000 level 🔹 Price forming LL (Lower Low) and LH (Lower High) structure If this setup plays again, we may see a new low below $75,000. Key Level to Watch: If a HTF candle closes above $88,200, the short thesis is invalidated — and in that case, we may be looking at a bullish continuation toward the $100,000 zone. Reminder: Don’t enter blindly. Wait for confirmations and respect risk management—protect your capital at all costs.

XRP Technical Breakdown – 3 Key Gaps Identified!🚨 XRP Technical Breakdown – 3 Key Gaps Identified! Hey fam! 👇 I just spotted 3 major GAPS on the CRYPTOCAP:XRP Daily Chart, and they could play a crucial role in XRP’s next big move! Gap Zones to Watch: 1️⃣ GAP 1 – $1.712 to $1.546 2️⃣ GAP 2 – $1.00 to $0.9268 3️⃣ GAP 3 – $0.772 to $0.64 My Take (IMO): ✔️ In this current super bullish market, GAP 1 has a high probability of being filled before the next leg up toward $5+. However, if we rely purely on Technical Analysis + Fibonacci levels, the chart indicates that GAP 2 & GAP 3 might need to be filled first before a sustainable upside. Based on the Fib retracement, if CRYPTOCAP:XRP revisits the 0.618 - 0.786 zones, it could create a powerful reversal and bounce setup from there. That’s a key confluence level for long-term holders and swing traders. High Liquidity Zones = Opportunity Zones! All 3 GAPs align with areas of high liquidity – ideal for setting strategic buy orders if you're playing the safe accumulation game. 📢 What do you think? Do you believe Ripple can drop below $1 again before a new ATH? Let’s discuss – drop your TA in the comments 💬👇
