Indicator Overview
The Dark Cloud Reversal Indicator displays entry signals in two ways:
- A red circle indicates a strong bearish reversal signal. If the pattern loses strength, the signal is replaced with a black arrow
- The entry signal is marked with a green circle in a strong bullish reversal pattern. If the pattern is weak, the signal is represented by a blue arrow
Indicator in an Uptrend
The indicator evaluates candlestick structures when the price approaches key support levels or previous market lows.
If a bullish candlestick with a larger body covers more than 50% of the previous candlestick, a bullish entry signal is triggered.
A green circle appears on the chart if the Piercing Line pattern is confirmed as a valid reversal pattern. If the pattern is weaker, the entry signal is shown with a blue arrow.

in a Downtrend
When the price reaches key resistance levels or previous market highs, it signals a weakening uptrend, and the indicator can generate a sell signal. As the price nears these levels, the indicator examines candlestick structures and evaluates potential trend reversals.
A sell entry signal is triggered if a strong, bearish candlestick follows a bullish candle covering more than 50% of its body.
A red circle appears on the chart if the Dark Cloud Cover pattern is confirmed as a strong reversal signal. If the pattern is less reliable, the indicator displays a bearish entry signal using a black arrow.
