This three-candlestick pattern signals a major top reversal. It is similar to the Bearish Evening Doji Star but with one key difference: the shadows on the Doji must also gap above the shadows of the first and third days. The pattern’s name originates from the second day, where the Doji appears to float alone on the chart like an abandoned baby between the first and third days. Essentially, the pattern consists of a white candlestick followed by a Doji that gaps away (including shadows) from the previous white candlestick and the subsequent black candlestick, which closes well within the first candlestick’s real body.
