How to recognize it
- Appears after a decline.
- Small body near the low of the range.
- Upper shadow at least twice the length of the body; little or no lower shadow.
What it suggests
Buyers attempted a rally that did not hold, so at first sight the candle looks weak. Its significance is that buyers showed up at all after a decline. If the next session closes higher, that earlier attempt starts to look like the first sign of demand.
Where it matters
Most relevant at a support zone after a sustained decline.
