Candlestick Chart Patterns: Continuations

Browse our library of Japanese Candlestick Continuation Patterns, displayed from strongest to weakest, in two columns: Bullish & Bearish Patterns. Continuation Patterns are candlestick patterns that tend to resolve in the same direction as the prevailing trend.

Strong candlestick patterns are at least 3 times as likely to resolve in the indicated direction. Reliable patterns at least 2 times as likely. Weak patterns are (only) at least 1.5 times as likely to resolve in the indicated direction. That means 2 out of 5 patterns are likely to fail.

Consolidation Patterns are typically weak candlestick patterns that have close to an even chance of resolving in either direction (i.e. less than 1.5 times as likely to resolve in either direction).
