What is Dark Cloud Cover Candlestick ?

#Dark Cloud Cover is a two-candlestick pattern that appears on a price chart and is often used as a bearish #reversal signal. The pattern is formed when a bullish candlestick is followed by a bearish #candlestick, which opens above the high of the previous candlestick and closes below the midpoint of the previous #candlestick's body.

The pattern suggests that the market has shifted from a bullish #sentiment to a bearish one, and that the bears have gained control. It is considered more significant when it appears after a sustained #uptrend and is confirmed by other technical indicators, such as #volume and #moving averages.

Traders often use the #Dark Cloud Cover pattern as a signal to enter a #short position or to exit a #long position.
