A trader should follow the trend in the direction of the gap. The third day, which is the day of correction, closes the gap and the previous trend continues. This moment should be considered as a chance to fix profits temporarily.

If the gap is not completely filled or closed, the previous trend should resume. The gap usually gives support and resistance levels. If the gap is filled quickly, it probably does not provide needed analytical information.

The color of the first candlestick is not as important as the color of the second and the third ones. However, it is better when the first and second days have the same color; it strongly supports trend continuation.

The Upside Tasuki Gap becomes a long white candlestick in the lower price range. The reduced pattern is usually a white candle, often bullish. The Downside Tasuki Gap is reduced to a long black candle, usually bearish. It is recommended to wait until the pattern confirmation.

The tasuki candles are an opposite of the Piercing Line and Dark Cloud Cover reversal patterns. The Upside/Downside Tasuki Gap chart formations have similar features with the Upside/Downside Gap Three Methods.
