A bearish abandoned baby is a trend reversal candlestick pattern made up of a bearish candlestick, a bullish candlestick, and a Doji. A gap forms before and after the Doji candlestick, and Doji candlestick forms between bearish and bullish candlestick.

More than one Doji candlesticks in an abandoned baby pattern can also form between bullish and bearish candlestick. There is complete psychology behind this pattern. Because the first candlestick will increase the price, the second/Doji candlestick will hold the price, and the third candlestick will decrease the market price. It is indirectly related to the rally base drop pattern.

How to identify a bearish abandoned baby?

You need to follow a few guidelines to identify and refine a perfect candlestick pattern on the price chart. Follow the following rules.

1. Bullish candlestick: it should have a big body (at least 60% body to wick ratio) and small shadows/wicks because it will represent a rally in price trend.
2. Doji candlestick: it will form after bullish candlestick and must have large wicks (body to wick ratio less than 25%). More than one Doji candlestick can also develop, but it should meet the criteria.
3. Bearish candlestick: it should also have a large body with at least a 60% body to wick ratio.

Pro tip: The closing price of bearish candlestick matters a lot in a price trend reversal. It should always close below to 50% level of the bullish candlestick. In an excellent bearish abandoned baby pattern, the bearish candlestick will have a closing price below the low of the bullish candlestick.
