I was looking at the monthly chart this morning and thought of your post. There are sort of three black crows, although it's difficult to describe them as long-bodied candlesticks.
More importantly, what about the three white soldiers that came directly before?
I am not sure how do you use the three candle set-up, but to me I only take it seriously when it shows reversal of trend direction, the three white soldiers you show in your chart were present in a natural trend direction (up) so they are kind of irrelevant, the real three white soldiers were the candles of Feb,March and April , and they worked out very well, the market went up more than 150% after April candle closed, these three black crows I am pointing out has every characteristic that determines a trend reversal
1-They came up after about a movement of 315% to the upside
2-The wicks show strong rejection to the down side
3-RSI was very close to critical a resistance on the monthly (67)
and by the way, the best way to use the three set-up candle is along side with RSI , at least based on my personal experience.
Do you remmeber my topic (
ichimoku cloud says 3100$ is the cheapest bitcoin will ever be) ?
I have been taking the cloud very seriously, and guess where we at now?

According to history, we must test the top of the cloud before making any higher highs, and guess where at is ?6500$ , does that match your Fib 0.705?
The cloud also tells another story , it says , bear/sideways market till 11/11/2019 , this is based on the fact that until we pass the ichimoku resistance, there should no movement to the upside, check 2016 you will get a better clue.
Again out of all these analysis, I still stand by the 20SMA on the weekly , and I still take this as a bear market until it's broken to the upside.
