# CDLUPSIDEGAP2CROWS

## Summary

A three-candle bearish reversal pattern: a long white candle, then a small black candle gapping up (a gap between the real bodies), then a black candle that engulfs the second candle's real body but still closes above the first candle's close. Signals a bearish reversal. A hit (-100) is a bearish reversal signal, most meaningful in an uptrend.

## Notes

- The pattern classically assumes a prior uptrend, but this function does not verify any trend.

## Inputs

- `inPriceOHLC` — Open, High, Low, Close price series

## Outputs

- `outInteger` — -100 on a pattern bar, 0 otherwise. Bearish-only: this pattern never emits +100
