This bottom pattern is called the Magpie Disturbing the Plum Blossom. It is a common K-line pattern that market participants often see, and beginners can learn it easily. In simple terms, it represents the complete process from the main force accumulating heavily to shaking out weak hands.



**First Signal: Sufficient Decline Release**
The price has experienced a significant decline, usually over 30%. At this point, market sentiment is very low, and the bearish force has been fully unleashed. This is a prerequisite for the pattern.

**Second Signal: Sudden Appearance of a Large Bullish Candle**
A medium to large bullish candle appears at the bottom, preferably hitting the daily limit up. At the same time, the trading volume should significantly increase. This volume spike indicates strong buying by the main force. This is the turning point.

**Third Signal: Volume Contraction and Sideways Consolidation**
Afterward, the stock price opens high and then moves lower, beginning a period of continuous consolidation. This sideways movement lasts for 3 to 5 trading cycles, with small declines that do not break below the low of the large bullish candle. During this phase, trading volume clearly shrinks, reflecting the main force’s control—attracting attention on one hand while shaking out hesitant chips on the other.

**Fourth Signal: Volume Breakout Resumption**
After the volume contraction, the chips in the market become stable. When a volume surge bullish candle reappears, it indicates the shakeout is complete, and a new round of market trend is about to start.

The name is very vivid: the bullish candle looks like a plum branch, and the small sideways candles resemble magpies perched on the branch. Mastering this pattern makes bottom-fishing much easier.

Magpies chirping at plum blossoms sounds nice, but I still think this set of theories is too idealized. In actual operation, where are there so many standard trends...

Magpies chirping at plum blossoms sound intimidating, but it's actually just the main force shaking out positions. How many times have those caught in the trap fallen for the third signal?

Damn it, it's always hindsight. If I had known this was a magpie causing trouble, I wouldn't have lost out.

Magpie Nests in Plum Blossoms is a really clever name, but in practice, it still depends on volume; otherwise, it's easy to get cut.
