Rising three methods
BullishA 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.

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.
