TA Challenge: Can you spot the six common bearish candlestick patterns?

Welcome back, mooers!
As is widely acknowledged, market fluctuations can result in downturns, underscoring the significance of promptly mitigating losses by means of effective stop-loss strategies. Today, we will delve into six bearish candlestick patterns to help you gain proficiency in interpreting stop-loss signals. Let's go!
Hanging man & Shooting star
The hanging man pattern is considered the bearish counterpart of a hammer, sharing its shape while emerging at the conclusion of an uptrend. This pattern signals a substantial sell-off during the day, but with buyers subsequently driving prices back up. The sell-off is widely interpreted that the bulls are relinquishing their hold on the market.

In contrast, the shooting star pattern exhibits an inverted hammer formation and manifests during an uptrend. Typically, the market briefly opens with a slight upward gap and rallies toward an intraday peak before settling at a price marginally above the opening price, resembling a falling star.

Bearish engulfing
The bearish engulfing pattern materializes at the conclusion of an uptrend, with a small green-bodied first candle being entirely overwhelmed by a subsequent long red candle. This pattern signifies either a price peak or deceleration in movement, often suggestive of an imminent market downturn. The magnitude of the ensuing trend can be gauged by the extent to which the second candle descends.

Three black crows
The three black crows pattern features three successive long red candles with short or nonexistent wicks, opening at comparable prices to the previous day but steadily declining with each close due to mounting selling pressures. This pattern is often viewed by traders as a start to a bearish downtrend because sellers have dominated buyers across three consecutive trading sessions.

Evening star
Like the bullish morning star, the evening star pattern consists of three candlesticks that signal an impending bearish reversal.  The evening star pattern consists of three candlesticks:
- A long green candlestick
- A small green or red candlestick that gaps above the close (body) of the previous candlestick
- A long red candlestick
It indicates the reversal of an uptrend and is particularly strong when the third candlestick erases the gains of the first candle.

Dark cloud cover
The dark cloud cover pattern is a bearish reversal signal, casting a red cloud over prior optimism. This formation consists of two candlesticks: a red candlestick that opens above the preceding green body and concludes under its midpoint. The pattern implies that bears have claimed the session, propelling prices markedly lower. Short wicks on both candles suggest an especially decisive downtrend.
