During a downtrend, a long black candlestick occurs, following by three candles of small real bodies that fall into a short uptrend. On the fifth candle, the bears come in strong to close at a new low. This small uptrend, in between two long black candles, is consistent with investors taking a break. The downward should continue.

Current
Indication
Bullish reversal
Reliability
Medium
Description
During a downtrend, the market strengthens the bears with a long black candlestick and gaps open on the second one. However, the second candlestick trades within a small range and closes at or near its open. This scenario generally shows the potential for a rally, as many positions have been changed. Confirmation of the trend reversal would be a higher open on the next candlestick.

Reliability
Medium

It is a major reversal signal. Factors that are increasing this signal's reliability:
1) The first candlestick has a very small real body and the second candlestick a very large real body.
2) The pattern appears after a protracted or very fast move.
3) Heavy volume on the second black candlestick.
4) The second candlestick engulfs more than one real body.
