Description
The stick sandwich candlestick pattern looks somewhat like an ice cream sandwich. It consists of two black (or red) candles with a white (or green) candle in between. The closing prices of the two black (or red) candles are equal. This demonstrates an obvious support price and the probability of a reversal in the trend is high.
Criteria for Stick Sandwich Candlestick Pattern
- A downtrend is concluded with a large black (or red) candle followed by a white (or green) candle. The white (or green) candle opens above the black (or red) candle’s close, and it closes above the black (or red) candle’s open.
- The final day completely engulfs the white (or green) candle and closes at the same level as the previous black (or red) candle.
Pattern Psychology Behind the Stick Sandwich
The Bears are in control for a while. At the end of the downtrend, the last black (or red) candle is followed by a large white (or green) candle. The white (or green) candle opens higher than the close of the last black (or red) candle. It trades up for the rest of the day and closes above where the previous day opened. This action makes it clear to the Bears that the downtrend may be coming to an end. The following day opens higher but trades down for the rest of the day. It cannot close lower than the previous close of two days prior, which are low. The shorts take notice and start to cover any buying strength over the next couple of days.
