Belt - Hold In Bullish Belt Hold After a stretch of bearish candlesticks, a bullish or white candlestick forms. The opening price, which becomes the low for the day, is significantly lower then the closing price. This results in a long white candlestick with a short upper shadow and no lower shadow. In Bearish Belt Hold, a bearish or black candlestick occurs, the opening price, which becomes the high for the day, is higher than the close of the previous day, resulting in a long black candlestick with a short lower shadow and no upper shadow.

Breakaway The breakaway pattern begins with a long candle representing the current trend. The following candle is the same color and it gaps away from that first long candle. While the third day’s candle can be either color, it will not show a change in the current trend. The fourth day continues the trend and therefore continues to produce the same color candles. The fifth day however, reverses the trend. Please note that it only opens slightly the opposite of the current trend and it continues in the same direction to where it then closes in the gap area.
