Abandoned Baby
A rare candlestick reversal pattern consisting of three candles: a trend candle, a doji that gaps away from it, and a reversal candle that gaps in the opposite direction. It signals a strong potential trend reversal, and because of its rarity, it is considered one of the most reliable candlestick reversal signals in technical analysis.
Example
“A bullish abandoned baby formed on the daily chart, prompting traders to look for long entries near the support level.”
