A large green candle (1%+ body), a red candle inside its body, then a candle that closes below the first candle's open and the second candle's close. A confirmed bearish harami. Liquid stocks only (Rs 5 Cr+).
About This Scan
Three inside down is a three-candle reversal pattern. A large green candle comes first, then a smaller red candle inside its body, which is a bearish harami. The third candle closes below the first candle's open and below the second candle's close, which confirms the turn. This scan requires the first candle to have a body of at least 1% and Rs 5 Cr of last-session turnover. It is rare, so the list is short. The mirror scan is Three Inside Up. For the unconfirmed version, see Bearish Harami.

How To Use This Scan
- •The confirmation candle is already in the pattern, so the first candle's high is the usual stop reference.
- •Look at where the pattern formed. Near a prior high, a falling average or resistance it carries more weight than in the middle of a range.
- •Check volume on the third candle. A close below the first candle's open on rising volume is more convincing. This scan has not been back-tested for an edge.
