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.

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.
