Pattern: reversal
Reliability: high

Identification
A bearish Harami pattern is followed by a black day whose close is lower than the second day.

The Psychology
In an uptrend or within a bounce of a downtrend, a bearish Harami forms. By itself this pattern has moderate reliability as a reversal pattern, but when followed by a weak day (preferably with a pick up in volume) the overall pattern becomes much more reliable.

The bearish Three Inside Down is a continuation of the bearish Harami.



DRD was in a steady uptrend, but the mid-September attempt at a higher high failed and resulted in a bearish Three Inside Down candle formation which reversed the uptrend.



SFD collapsed on huge volume in late June. The stock then experienced an oversold bounce which ended in a bearish Three Inside Down pattern.



Here is an example of when not to play a bearish Three Inside Down formation. LFG has just made a higher high on better than average volume. The candle pattern was just a pause in an uptrend...not a reason to go short.
