The shorts may have a chance to close their positions and realize their profits by the fourth day of a considerable downtrend. Then we see an upward gap on the fifth day as a result of this. If the body of the fifth day is long, or the volume of trading is high, this may also imply a bullish reversal.

Recognition Criteria:

1. Market is characterized by downtrend.
2. We see three long black candlesticks characterized by consecutively lower opens and a closing sequence just like the Bearish Three Black Crows Pattern.
3. Then we see a black candlestick on the fourth day with an upper shadow.
4. Finally we see a white candlestick opening above the body of the fourth day on the fifth day.

Explanation:

There is a considerable downtrend for some time and the bears are happy. Then we see a good move downward. Prices start trading above the opening price and almost reaching to the new high of the previous day, but then they close at another new low. This action is a warning for shorts telling them that the market will not go down forever. The shorts may then be forced to reevaluate their positions and they may start closing their positions on the next day if profits are good. This act is the reason behind the upward gap we see on the last day of the pattern and also the close is considerably higher. If volume is high on the last day, a trend reversal has probably occurred.

Bullish ladder bottom candlestick is a bullish trend-reversal pattern indicating the reversal of the existing downtrend. It is a five candlestick pattern which is somewhat similar to bullish concealing baby swallow pattern. Bullish ladder bottom is a moderately reliable pattern.

The requirements for the bullish ladder bottom pattern include,

The pattern should be formed at the bottom of a significant downtrend.
The first three days are noticeable with three long bearish (black/colored) candlesticks which close below the previous candlesticks. This formation is identical to three black crows candlestick pattern.
The fourth day is also bearish with a small real-body and long upper shadow; it is an inverted hammer candlestick.
The fifth day is a bullish day noticeable with a long bullish (white/colorless) candlestick which opens above the real-body of the fourth day candlestick.
Ladder bottom candlestick formation occurs when bears lose control over the existing downtrend. The bearish candlestick on the first three days indicates that the bears are controlling the market but the inverted hammer on the fourth day indicates that shorts are covering their positions and the trend is getting weak. The bullish candlestick on the fifth day indicates (a) the bulls have gained control over the market and (b) the beginning of a new uptrend.

After an established downtrend, three red days with consecutively lower closes occur
• The fourth day is a red day with an upper wick. An Inverted Hammer
• The fifth day is a blue day


The first several days establish a consistent downtrend. As time progresses however shorts take the opportunity to par-off their positions and take profit. This is illustrated in the fourth days red Inverted Hammer candle. As prices are bid up, the high is pushed up. But in this formation sellers are still able to drive price down to levels nearer the open creating a small body. Up to day-four in the formation this just suggests that sellers are losing firm control of the market. By the fifth day, a bullish rally creates the long blue candle. Candlestick analysts would look for buy entry opportunities to come.

The ladder bottom pattern occurs at the end of downtrends and is a bullish reversal signal. The pattern consists of five candlesticks that is an early sign that the downtrend is deteriorating.
Ladder Bottom Charting Example

The first three days of the ladder bottom pattern are three long black candlesticks. This part of the formation closely resembles the three black crows formation. The fourth day closes lower, but has a long upper shadow that eats into the body of the third candlestick. The fifth day of the ladder bottom is a long white candlestick that opens above the body of the fourth day and closes strongly. The ladder bottom starts out like the concealing baby swallow and finishes with a strong up move. Traders should wait for the high of the fifth candle of the ladder bottom pattern to be exceeded prior to taking any long positions.
