The bearish two crows (niwa garasu) candlestick pattern (view full size chart) is one of the triple candlestick patterns (i.e. it consists of three individual candlesticks), and it is a bearish pattern.
The bearish two crows candlestick consists of an upward candlestick (i.e. a green candlestick), followed by a smaller downward candlestick (i.e. a red candlestick), that opens and closes above the close of the first candlestick (i.e. a gap up that does not close), followed by a larger downward candlestick (i.e. another red candlestick), that opens above the close of the second candlestick (i.e. another gap up), and closes below the close of the first candlestick. Note that the third candlestick closing below the close of the first candlestick is the feature that differentiates the two crows from the upside gap two crows candlestick pattern.
