Understanding Candlesticks Lesson 07 Dark Cloud Cover Pattern

Dark Cloud Cover Candlestick Pattern in Forex Trading

This candlestick pattern in Forex trading analysis is a popular tool used to identify possible trend reversals. It identifies bearish reversal patterns that can appear directly after an uptrend and can signal that a price might be starting to decline. This pattern is used by traders to indicate a possible shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish.

The dark cloud cover candlestick consists of two candlesticks, the first a bullish long candlestick and the second a bearish one, which opens above the high of the previous bullish candlestick but closes below its midpoint. This shape creates a “cloud effect” where the second candlestick overshadows the first one, and hence the name. The name derives from the metaphor of a dark cloud blocking out the sun, which symbolizes a potential downturn in the market.
