Three white soldiers attacking or three white soldiers - one of the models of the Japanese graphic analysis, with a military background. Visually, the figure is three white candles, closing prices are consistently rising. "Soldiers," which appeared in the low price range, after the stabilization period, indicate a large potential market power.
This model has several variations. Repulsed attack prompts the trader to a gradual and sustained increase in prices in the short term. Thus the price of the opening of each new white candle will not be far from the body immediately preceding or within it. Closing prices are to approach the maximum possible performance, or to be on the same level. This trend suggests a natural process of growth of the market. However, it should be noted that too stretched candles will mean excessive activity of buyers on the exchange.
If the second and third candle is showing weakness and body forming repulsed the attack. This confirms the fact that the resistance that meets the rising price, and the bulls should be focused on protecting their own positions.
Special attention to the above pattern will be worth, if formed on the top of a long uptrend. As a sign of weakening in this case should be considered decreasing body candles white or upper shadows lengthening the last two appeared on the candlestick chart.
Model braking (deceleration)
When the second candlestick with a long white body reaches a new high, and the next after her Japanese candle small traders note on the chart formation models "inhibition".
The pattern is a harbinger of weaker onslaught from the bulls. This situation can occur in several scenarios. Last candle small or constitutes a gap relative to the previous white candle with a long or large body continues to be within the top. In this case, the most appropriate is the closure of long positions and profit taking.
Summarizing all the above with respect to both models, one can say with certainty that they do not signal an impending reversal, even if there are at the top of the trend. However, their appearance is often accompanied by a significant decrease in prices. Long positions in the present case should be protected or completely eliminated. Work with short positions is extremely undesirable. Most efficiently the above model, if formed in the price highs.
