Rising three methods

Bullish

A tall green bar sets the direction, three small bars rest inside its range, then another tall green bar closes above the first bar's close — a continuation: the trend is resting, not turning

Most patterns resolve their way only 50–60% of the time — nearly half miss.

Textbook shape

How to read it

One tall green bar sets the direction; three small bars drift back inside its high-low range; then another tall green bar closes above the first bar's close. A classic continuation pattern from Japan's Sakata methods.

It tells the opposite story from a reversal: the dip in the middle was a rest, not a turn, and the final bar is the proof. Staying inside the first bar's range throughout is the condition.

It is the only continuation shape in SQMATE's candle vocabulary — everything else there is a reversal story, so this is the one that can say 'not finished yet'.

A window SQMATE's detectors actually flagged in past bars. It records a day that worked out — the same shape doesn't always resolve the same way.

On SQMATE

No more eyeballing charts

You don't have to flip through charts hunting for shapes. Signal watch pings your browser the moment a condition is met, patterns on your watchlist arrive by email, and the screener lists every symbol that matched today.

SQMATE draws the lines

Support lines, trendlines, channels — the lines you need to read a pattern are drawn for you, so no time goes into drawing.

Patterns aren't the whole story

The same shape doesn't always resolve the same way. It's safer to read it together with candles, volume, and market context — news, catalysts, flows.
