Japanese Candlesticks Theory

Piercing Pattern

The Piercing Pattern is the opposite of the Dark Cloud Cover.

Example of the Piercing Pattern

The Piercing Pattern appears after a downtrend and is formed with two candles:

• the first candle has a black real body and the second one has a white long body;
• the white candle opens under the black candle bottom and closes above the prior black candle center.
