  • Dark Cloud Cover Reversal Pattern

Dark Cloud Cover Definition:
The Dark Cloud Cove is a two bar formation developing after an up leg, with the first bar continuing a move up and producing a long white body. The next bar forms by opening at a new high then closes below the midpoint of the body of the first bar which produces a red down bar.

Practical Use:
Technical analysts often use the Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern to start working their way into a short trade. Most traders need this to form in context with another bearish trade setup as additional trade confirmation.
