The Psychology
In an uptrend a gap is partially filled. This is simply a profit taking scenario. We have a strong stock in an uptrend that pulls back. As long as the black day is on lighter volume, the bulls will most likely retake control soon after.

Identification
A long white day is followed by a second long white day that gaps in the direction of the trend. The third day is black and opens within the body of the second day and closes within the gap.

Pattern: continuation
Reliability: moderate
