Methodology
Four approaches to deciding what to buy or sell.
Three candles: (1) a long green candle continuing the uptrend, (2) a small-bodied candle (any colour) that gaps above the prior close, (3) a long red candle that closes below the midpoint of the first candle's body.

What it means
Buying exhausted on day one, indecision on day two, then aggressive selling on day three reverses the rally. Sentiment flipped.
Confirmation to wait for
Day three's close below the midpoint of day one is the trigger. Volume strongest on day three reinforces the signal.
Failure mode
Day two being too tall, or day three failing to close below the midpoint, weakens the pattern. Doesn't matter inside a sideways range.
c1: long green (body ≥ 60% of c1 range). c2: small body ≤ 35% of c2 range AND c2 low > c1 close (gap-up star). c3: red AND c3 close < midpoint of c1 body. Prior 5-day uptrend.
