What is Upside Tasuki Gap candlestick pattern?

Upside Tasuki Gap is an uptrend continuation pattern characterized by bullish gaps (gap up). It is considered the most standard UP signal because of its almost absolute accuracy. Both experienced traders and beginners trust this trading signal a lot.

Features of the pattern

An Upside Tasuki Gap candlestick pattern must have all of the following characteristics.

• The market is in an uptrend.
• The first candle is a bullish one.
• The second candle is a bullish one with a small body and a gap up between candle 1 and candle 2.
• The 3rd candle opens inside the 2nd real body and closes below the 2nd real body. In particular, it has to partially cover the price gap between the 1st and 2nd candles.

This pattern gives a strong trend continuation signal with high confidence. The pattern is safer if the current uptrend is strong such as the price above the EMA or SMA for example.

Meaning of the pattern

The Upside Tasuki Gap pattern shows a leveling off in market sentiment. The first long bullish candle and a gap represent general sentiment in agreement with the current trend.

After the price rallies to a new high, sellers start entering the market to push the price down. However, the important thing is that they cannot fill the gap created before. If the gap is not filled, there is a high probability that the uptrend will continue.
