What to do
BUY
Confirmation

Pattern is its own confirmation.

When it's most reliable

Bullish reversal — more reliable than harami alone.

The psychology behind it

Bullish harami signals stall; the third candle confirms the reversal by closing above the first red candle's open.

Like every candlestick pattern, the Three Inside Up is a probabilistic signal — not a guarantee. The strongest setups appear at clear support / resistance levels, with a directional bias from higher timeframes, and ideally with volume confirmation. Always combine candlestick reads with structure and trend context.
