Tasuki Gap
A (upward) Tasuki Gap is a three-candle continuation pattern: two bullish candles with a gap between them, followed by a bearish candle that opens inside the second candle's body and closes within the gap — without fully closing it.
The gap staying largely unfilled shows the pullback lacks the strength to reverse the trend — a sign the prevailing move is likely to continue.
- Candle 1 and 2: both move in the trend direction with a visible price gap between them.
- Candle 3: moves opposite to the trend, opening inside candle 2's body and closing inside the gap zone left between candles 1 and 2, but not filling it completely.
- If the gap gets fully closed instead, that invalidates the pattern and often warns of a genuine reversal instead.
- Best used alongside broader trend confirmation rather than as a standalone signal.
Edukasyonal lamang — hindi ito payong pinansyal. Isama ang anumang pattern ng candlestick sa mas malawak na konteksto ng merkado, risk management, at sarili mong trading plan.

If the third candle fully closes the gap left between the first two candles, the continuation signal is invalidated and a reversal becomes more likely instead.
