The first line is located in an uptrend, the last two open at near the prior close.

The Identical Three Crows should be interpreted the same way as the Three Black Crows pattern. You may treat the Identical Three Crows pattern as a specific variant of the Three Black Crows pattern.

The pattern appears very infrequently on the candlestick charts.

Figure 2. An Identical Three Crows pattern is preceded by a Rising Window pattern, formed a month earlier. The gap, being part of the Rising Window, acts as a support zone. The third line of the Identical Three Crows was not able to close the gap, and the bulls and the bears are struggling for control of the market. Such situation frequently happens when the market is placed on the border of two opposite areas: support (the Rising Window pattern in our case), and resistance (black candles forming the Identical Three Crows pattern).
