Identification Rules

  1. The pattern must be preceded by a distinct and sustained uptrend to be considered a reversal.
  2. The 'Left Tower' must consist of one or more long-bodied bullish candles showing strong momentum.
  3. A consolidation phase of 5 to 15 bars must form a 'roof' of small-bodied candles at the peak.
  4. The 'Right Tower' must be a sharp bearish move with long-bodied candles closing deep into the previous advance.
