Bearish stick sandwich

The bearish stick sandwich is a rare candlestick pattern. The first candlestick in the formation is a long white (green) candlestick that closes near its high. The second candlestick is a black (red) candlestick that gaps down from the previous close and closes below the previous day's open. The third candlestick is a white (green) candlestick that completely engulfs the second candlestick and has the same closing price as the first candlestick. Traders should wait for the low of the third candlestick to be broken prior to taking any short positions.
