Part I: Bullish Reversals 26 Patterns

Appears at the bottom of a downtrend; signals sellers are exhausted and buyers are taking control.

Visual Pattern	Pattern Name & Market Dynamics
	Long White Body (1) Bullish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Single tall green candle with a large body appearing after a decline. Psychology: Relentless buying pressure dominates the session from opening to close. Outcome: Strong buying pressure; may signal continuation or, when appearing after a decline, a potential bullish reversal.
	Hammer (1) Bullish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Small body near the top of the range after a decline, with a long lower shadow (>= 2x body) and minimal upper shadow. Psychology: Intraday sell-off is firmly rejected by buyers pushing price back near the session high. Outcome: Potential bullish reversal; confirmation above the hammer's high strengthens the signal.
	Inverted Hammer (1) Bullish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Small body near the bottom of the range after a decline, with a long upper shadow (>= 2x body) and minimal lower shadow. Psychology: Buyers attempt an intraday counter-attack; while rejected from highs, emerging demand is demonstrated. Outcome: Early sign of potential bullish reversal; a strong bullish candle above the pattern confirms improving demand.
	Belt Hold (1) Bullish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Tall green candle opening at or near its low after a decline and rallying to close near its high with little to no lower shadow. Psychology: Buyers take control from the open without conceding ground, sustaining upward pressure. Outcome: Strong buying from the open may mark a bullish reversal; follow-through above the candle high strengthens the signal.
	Engulfing Pattern (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: A small red body engulfed completely by a subsequent taller green body appearing after a downtrend. Psychology: A lower open attracts strong demand, overwhelming prior selling pressure. Outcome: Sellers lose control as buyers overwhelm the prior session's body; a move above the engulfing candle's high confirms the reversal.
	Harami (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Large red candle followed by a smaller green candle whose body is contained entirely inside Day 1's body. Psychology: Downward momentum stalls abruptly as sellers fail to expand the range. Outcome: Selling momentum weakens; a subsequent break above the pattern strengthens the bullish reversal signal.
	Harami Cross (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long red candle followed by a Doji whose body is contained within the boundaries of Day 1's body. Psychology: Selling pressure dissipates into balance and indecision following an extended decline. Outcome: Stronger form of the bullish Harami, indicating indecision after a decline; bullish follow-through is needed for confirmation.
	Piercing Line (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long red candle followed by a green candle that opens below Day 1's low and closes above the 50% midpoint of Day 1 (but below Day 1's open). Psychology: An initial gap-down is rejected as buyers recover more than half of the prior session's losses. Outcome: Sellers lose control after a gap-down; recovery above the midpoint signals a potential bullish reversal.
	Doji Star (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long red candle followed by a Doji that gaps down beneath Day 1's body. Psychology: Sellers force a gap lower but fail to generate follow-through, leading to market balance. Outcome: Selling momentum stalls after a gap-down; a bullish confirmation candle increases the likelihood of a reversal.
	Meeting Lines (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long red candle followed by a green candle opening sharply lower and closing at the same price as Day 1's close. Psychology: Bulls counter-attack the gap-down with equal force to close level with Day 1. Outcome: Selling pressure is met by strong buying, producing matching closes; subsequent upside confirmation supports a bullish reversal.
	Three White Soldiers (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three consecutive long green candles after a decline, each opening within the prior body and closing near its high. Psychology: Consistent buying pressure dominates consecutive sessions without significant pullbacks. Outcome: Sustained buying pressure across three sessions signals a strong shift toward bullish control.
	Morning Star (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long red candle, a downward-gapping small body, and a long green candle closing well into Day 1's body (typically above its midpoint). Psychology: Selling pressure gives way to indecision, followed by decisive buyer dominance. Outcome: Selling pressure gives way to indecision and then strong buying; a close well into the first candle's body supports a bullish reversal.
	Morning Doji Star (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long red candle, a downward-gapping isolated Doji, and a long green candle closing deeply into Day 1's body. Psychology: A sharp decline transitions into acute market indecision, which buyers then resolve upward. Outcome: A Doji after a sharp decline signals strong indecision; bullish follow-through can confirm a reversal.
	Abandoned Baby (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long red candle, an isolated Doji gapping below both neighboring candles' shadows, and a green candle gapping up. Psychology: An island formation occurs where selling exhausts on a gap-down, followed by an immediate upward gap. Outcome: An isolated Doji after a gap-down signals exhaustion; a gap-up reversal candle confirms a potential bullish turn.
	Tri-Star (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three consecutive Dojis appearing after a decline, with the middle Doji gapping below the other two. Psychology: Selling momentum dissipates into extreme, sustained indecision across three sessions. Outcome: Rare sequence showing extreme indecision after a decline; upside follow-through may signal a bullish reversal.
	Breakaway (5) Bullish Reversal 5 Bars Structure: Long red candle, downside gap to a red candle, three smaller declining bodies, followed by a strong green candle closing within the initial gap. Psychology: Downward momentum gradually weakens after an initial gap before buyers drive price back into the gap. Outcome: Downward momentum gradually weakens before a strong bullish candle breaks back into the gap, signaling a potential reversal.
	Three Inside Up (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: A Bullish Harami followed by a third green candle that closes above the second candle's high. Psychology: Selling pressure halts within the prior candle, and follow-through buying confirms buyers are gaining control. Outcome: The Harami signals weakening selling pressure; the third candle confirms that buyers are gaining control.
	Three Outside Up (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: A Bullish Engulfing pattern followed by a third green candle closing higher than Day 2. Psychology: Momentum shifts toward buyers during the engulfing session, with follow-through confirming demand. Outcome: The engulfing pattern shifts momentum toward buyers, and the third candle provides bullish confirmation.
	Kicking (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Red Marubozu followed by a green Marubozu that gaps up above Day 1's open. Psychology: An immediate gap above the previous open reflects an abrupt shift in market balance. Outcome: A sharp gap in the opposite direction shows an abrupt shift in market control and can produce a strong bullish reversal.
	Unique Three Rivers Bottom (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long red candle, followed by a smaller red candle within Day 1's body making a new low with a long lower shadow, then a small green candle whose low remains above Day 2's low. Psychology: A new downside extreme is rejected intraday, and subsequent stabilization indicates selling exhaustion. Outcome: A new downside extreme is rejected, followed by stabilization; a bullish third candle signals a potential bottom.
	Three Stars in the South (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three declining red candles: Day 1 has a long lower shadow; Day 2 has a smaller body and a higher low; Day 3 is a small red body contained within Day 2's range. Psychology: Sellers make progressively less downward progress each session, unable to force lower lows. Outcome: Successively weaker bearish candles show selling momentum fading; the pattern warns of a potential bullish reversal.
	Concealing Swallow (4) Bullish Reversal 4 Bars Structure: Four red candles: two falling Marubozus, an inverted-hammer-like red candle gapping down, engulfed by a fourth red engulfing candle. Psychology: Intense selling reaches an extreme climax as an attempted extension fails and the final candle consumes Day 3's range. Outcome: Persistent selling becomes vulnerable after the third candle's failed downside extension; the fourth candle's engulfing action signals potential exhaustion and reversal.
	Stick Sandwich (3) Bullish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Two red candles with matching closing prices sandwiching a green candle in a downtrend. Psychology: Support is tested twice at the same price level with an interim bounce showing buying interest. Outcome: Repeated support at the matching closes suggests a possible bullish reversal; confirmation above the pattern is recommended.
	Homing Pigeon (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Large red candle followed by a smaller red candle whose body is contained completely inside Day 1's body. Psychology: Selling momentum contracts as the second red candle fails to extend lower, reflecting seller hesitation. Outcome: Selling momentum contracts as the second bearish candle remains inside the first; bullish follow-through is needed to confirm a reversal.
	Ladder Bottom (5) Bullish Reversal 5 Bars Structure: Three declining red candles, a fourth candle with an upper shadow showing hesitation, followed by a decisive green candle opening above Day 4's body and closing strongly higher. Psychology: Downtrend momentum slows as buyers attempt an upside move on Day 4, followed by strong buying follow-through on Day 5. Outcome: Three declining candles are followed by weakening bearish momentum and then a strong bullish breakout, signaling a potential trend reversal.
	Matching Low (2) Bullish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Two consecutive red candles in a downtrend sharing approximately the same closing price, typically with little to no lower shadow. Psychology: Sellers fail to push the close beneath the prior session's level, establishing a potential short-term floor. Outcome: Repeated support at the same closing price suggests selling pressure is losing strength; bullish confirmation is preferred before treating it as a reversal.

Part II: Bearish Reversals 26 Patterns

Appears at the peak of an uptrend; signals buyers are exhausted and distribution is underway.

Visual Pattern	Pattern Name & Market Dynamics
	Long Black Body (1) Bearish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Single tall red candle with a large body appearing after an advance. Psychology: Heavy selling pressure dominates the session from open to close. Outcome: Strong selling pressure; may signal continuation or, after an advance, a potential bearish reversal.
	Hanging Man (1) Bearish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Small body near the top of an advance with a long lower shadow (>= 2x body) and minimal upper shadow, followed by a red confirmation candle. Psychology: Intraday sell-off reveals sudden vulnerability; buyers recover the close, but supply is active. Outcome: Late-session recovery after a sharp sell-off warns of vulnerability; a lower close confirms bearish reversal pressure.
	Shooting Star (1) Bearish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Small body near the bottom of the range after an advance, with a long upper shadow (>= 2x body) and minimal lower shadow. Psychology: Buyers drive price sharply higher but fail to sustain the advance, retreating into the close. Outcome: Buyers push prices sharply higher but fail to hold the advance; a break below the candle's low strengthens the bearish signal.
	Bearish Belt Hold (1) Bearish Reversal 1 Bar Structure: Tall red candle opening at or near its high after an advance and falling steadily to close near its low with little to no upper shadow. Psychology: Sellers take control immediately from the open and sustain downward pressure throughout the session. Outcome: Sellers take control from the open and dominate the session; the pattern warns of a potential bearish reversal.
	Bearish Engulfing (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: A small green body engulfed completely by a subsequent taller red body appearing after an advance. Psychology: An initial higher open attracts heavy supply, wiping out the prior session's advance. Outcome: Buyers lose control as sellers overwhelm the prior session's body; a break below the engulfing candle strengthens the reversal.
	Bearish Harami (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Large green candle followed by a smaller red candle whose body is contained entirely inside Day 1's body. Psychology: Buying momentum stalls as buyers fail to expand the range beyond prior levels. Outcome: Buying momentum stalls as the smaller candle remains inside the prior body; downside follow-through supports a bearish reversal.
	Bearish Harami Cross (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long green candle followed by a Doji nested completely within Day 1's body. Psychology: Strong buying momentum gives way to hesitation and equilibrium at the highs. Outcome: Strong buying momentum gives way to indecision; a bearish break after the Doji confirms the potential reversal.
	Dark Cloud Cover (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long green candle followed by a red candle opening above Day 1's high and closing below the midpoint of Day 1's green body, but above its open. Psychology: A gap-up to new highs is rejected as sellers push price below the midpoint of the prior advance. Outcome: A gap-up fails as sellers push price below the midpoint of the prior bullish candle, warning of a bearish reversal.
	Bearish Doji Star (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long green candle followed by a Doji that gaps above Day 1's body. Psychology: An opening gap-up stalls as buyers fail to generate further upward progress, resulting in balance. Outcome: A gap-up Doji shows that buying momentum has stalled; a bearish confirmation candle strengthens the reversal signal.
	Bearish Meeting Lines (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Long green candle followed by a red candle opening sharply higher and closing at the same price as Day 1's close. Psychology: An opening surge is met with selling pressure, returning price back to parity with the prior close. Outcome: The gap-up advance is rejected and both sessions close near the same level, suggesting a potential bearish reversal.
	Three Black Crows (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three consecutive long red candles after an advance, each opening within the prior body and closing near its low. Psychology: Sellers consistently dominate consecutive sessions, overcoming buying interest without significant pullbacks. Outcome: Three consecutive strong bearish sessions demonstrate sustained selling pressure and signal a potential trend reversal or acceleration lower.
	Evening Star (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long green candle, an upward-gapping small body, and a long red candle closing well into Day 1's body (generally below its midpoint). Psychology: Buying momentum pauses in hesitation before decisive selling takes control. Outcome: Buying momentum stalls, followed by decisive selling; a strong third candle supports a bearish reversal.
	Evening Doji Star (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long green candle, an isolated Doji gapping above Day 1's body, and a long red candle closing deeply into Day 1's body. Psychology: Buying momentum reaches equilibrium at the top before sellers take control with a sharp decline. Outcome: A Doji at the top signals pronounced indecision after an advance; a strong bearish third candle confirms the potential reversal.
	Bearish Abandoned Baby (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long green candle, an isolated Doji gapping above both neighboring candles' shadows, and a red candle gapping down. Psychology: An island formation develops where buying exhausts on a gap-up, followed by an immediate gap-down. Outcome: An isolated Doji after a gap-up signals exhaustion; a gap-down bearish candle confirms the potential reversal.
	Bearish Tri-Star (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three consecutive Dojis appearing after an advance, with the middle Doji gapping above the other two. Psychology: Buying momentum stalls into extreme indecision across three consecutive sessions. Outcome: Three Dojis indicate extreme indecision near the top; a downside break can signal a bearish reversal.
	Bearish Breakaway (5) Bearish Reversal 5 Bars Structure: Long green candle, upside gap to a green candle, three smaller advancing bodies, followed by a large red candle closing within the initial gap. Psychology: Upward momentum gradually decelerates following the initial gap before sellers drive price back into the gap. Outcome: The advance loses momentum after the gap-up sequence, and the final bearish candle signals a potential reversal.
	Three Inside Down (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: A Bearish Harami followed by a third red candle closing below Day 2's low. Psychology: Buying stalls inside the prior candle, and follow-through selling confirms sellers are gaining control. Outcome: The Harami signals weakening buying pressure; the third candle confirms renewed bearish momentum.
	Three Outside Down (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: A Bearish Engulfing pattern followed by a third red candle closing lower than Day 2. Psychology: Sellers take control during the engulfing session, and subsequent selling provides immediate confirmation. Outcome: The engulfing candle shifts control toward sellers, while the third candle confirms continuation of the reversal.
	Bearish Kicking (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Green Marubozu followed by a red Marubozu that gaps down beneath Day 1's open. Psychology: An immediate downside gap below the prior open reflects an abrupt shift in market balance. Outcome: A sharp downside gap between opposing Marubozu candles signals an abrupt shift from bullish to bearish control.
	Ladder Top (5) Bearish Reversal 5 Bars Structure: Three advancing green candles, a fourth candle with an upper shadow showing hesitation, followed by a decisive red candle opening lower and closing down. Psychology: The advance begins to lose momentum on Day 4, followed by a strong bearish move on Day 5 that confirms seller control. Outcome: The advance begins to lose momentum before a strong bearish fifth candle confirms a potential top.
	Matching High (2) Bearish Reversal 2 Bars Structure: Two consecutive green candles in an uptrend sharing approximately the same closing price, typically opening higher with little to no upper shadow. Psychology: Buyers fail to push the close above the previous session's close, establishing a resistance level. Outcome: Repeated failure to close above the same level creates resistance and warns of a potential bearish reversal.
	Upside Gap Two Crows (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long green candle, an upward-gapping small red body, followed by a red candle opening above Day 2's open and closing below Day 2's close while remaining above Day 1's close. Psychology: An upside gap fails to hold momentum; two consecutive down sessions show emerging supply above support. Outcome: Failure to sustain the gap warns of exhaustion; a subsequent break below the gap supports a bearish reversal.
	Identical Three Crows (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three consecutive red candles where each candle opens at or very close to the preceding candle's close and finishes near its low. Psychology: Persistent selling with little to no recovery between sessions reflects strong downward pressure. Outcome: Persistent selling with little recovery between sessions signals strong bearish momentum and possible continuation lower.
	Deliberation (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Two strong green candles followed by a third small green candle that opens higher, displaying a noticeably smaller body. Psychology: After two strong advancing sessions, buyers hesitate and upward progress contracts sharply. Outcome: After two strong bullish candles, the smaller third candle shows slowing momentum and warns of a possible stall or reversal.
	Advance Block (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Three consecutive green candles making new highs, with progressively smaller bodies and longer upper shadows. Psychology: Selling pressure intensifies near session highs, repeatedly pushing price off intraday peaks. Outcome: Repeated rejection at higher prices shows weakening buying momentum and warns of a potential bearish reversal.
	Two Crows (3) Bearish Reversal 3 Bars Structure: Long green candle, an upward-gapping small red candle, followed by a second red candle opening within Day 2's body and closing well into Day 1's body. Psychology: An initial upside gap is rejected, and consecutive down candles show supply overcoming demand. Outcome: The gap-up fails to hold and two bearish candles signal weakening demand; downside follow-through supports a bearish reversal.

Part III: Bullish Continuations 8 Patterns

Appears during an uptrend; represents consolidation before upward resumption.

Visual Pattern	Pattern Name & Market Dynamics
	Bullish Separating Lines (2) Bullish Continuation 2 Bars Structure: In an uptrend, a red candle is followed by a green candle that opens at approximately the same opening price and closes higher. Psychology: A brief bearish counter-move is immediately repelled at the open as buyers reassert dominance. Outcome: A brief bearish counter-move fails as buyers reclaim control; upside continuation is favored.
	Rising Three Methods (5) Bullish Continuation 5 Bars Structure: Long green candle, followed by three small declining red candles contained within the first candle's range, and a final strong green candle closing above Day 1's high. Psychology: Orderly consolidation is absorbed within the initial advance before buyers trigger a decisive breakout. Outcome: Consolidation within the trend is resolved to the upside; signals potential bullish continuation.
	Upside Tasuki Gap (3) Bullish Continuation 3 Bars Structure: Green candle, followed by an upward-gapping green candle, and a red candle that closes partially into the gap without filling it completely. Psychology: A mild pullback tests the gap zone as support, where buyers step in before the gap is closed. Outcome: The pullback tests the gap as support; if the gap remains open and price resumes higher, the uptrend is likely to continue.
	Bullish Side-by-Side White Lines (3) Bullish Continuation 3 Bars Structure: Green candle followed by an upside gap to two side-by-side green candles with approximately the same opening price and similar body sizes. Psychology: Price maintains elevated levels following a gap, with buyers defending the higher price plateau across two sessions. Outcome: Two similar bullish candles hold the higher gap level, suggesting the gap is being accepted and the uptrend may continue.
	Bullish Three Line Strike (4) Bullish Continuation 4 Bars Structure: Three consecutive green candles with higher closes, followed by a long red candle opening at or above Day 3's close and closing at or below Day 1's open. Psychology: A sharp single-session pullback rapidly unwinds three sessions of gains without establishing a new downtrend. Outcome: Despite the dramatic single-session drop, classical technical analysis treats this as a temporary resting phase favoring bullish continuation.
	Upside Gap Three Methods (3) Bullish Continuation 3 Bars Structure: Two advancing green candles separated by an upside gap, followed by a red candle that opens within the second body and closes to fill the gap. Psychology: A brief corrective pullback fills the recent gap, allowing buyers an opportunity to re-enter at previous price levels. Outcome: The gap is filled by a corrective bearish candle, but the prevailing uptrend remains intact; subsequent strength favors continuation.
	Bullish On Neck Line (2) Bullish Continuation 2 Bars Structure: In an uptrend, a red candle is followed by a green candle that opens lower and closes precisely at Day 1's low, testing support. Psychology: A pullback tests prior support without breaking down; buyers absorb the dip and defend the neckline. Outcome: Modern uptrend continuation variant; upside follow-through above the pattern high confirms trend resumption.
	Bullish In Neck Line (2) Bullish Continuation 2 Bars Structure: In an uptrend, a red candle is followed by a green candle that opens lower and closes slightly inside Day 1's body. Psychology: A pullback encounters buying interest that recovers slightly into the prior body, reflecting absorption of supply. Outcome: Modern uptrend continuation variant; confirmation above the pattern high supports bullish resumption.

Part IV: Bearish Continuations 8 Patterns

Appears during a downtrend; represents temporary pause or pullback before downward resumption.

Visual Pattern	Pattern Name & Market Dynamics
	Bearish Separating Lines (2) Bearish Continuation 2 Bars Structure: In a downtrend, a green candle is followed by a red candle that opens at approximately the same opening price and closes lower. Psychology: A brief counter-trend bounce is immediately repelled at the open as sellers reassert dominance. Outcome: A brief bullish counter-move fails as sellers regain control, favoring continuation of the downtrend.
	Falling Three Methods (5) Bearish Continuation 5 Bars Structure: Long red candle, followed by three small advancing green candles contained within the first candle's range, and a final strong red candle closing below Day 1's low. Psychology: A minor counter-trend pause is contained entirely within the initial sell-off before sellers resume the decline. Outcome: A brief counter-trend rally remains contained within the first candle's range before sellers resume the decline.
	Downside Tasuki Gap (3) Bearish Continuation 3 Bars Structure: Red candle, followed by a downward-gapping red candle, and a green candle that closes partially into the gap without filling it completely. Psychology: A corrective rebound pauses within the gap zone, where selling interest halts further upside. Outcome: The corrective rally stalls within the gap, leaving the gap as resistance and favoring continuation lower.
	Bearish Side-by-Side White Lines (3) Bearish Continuation 3 Bars Structure: Red candle followed by a downside gap to two side-by-side green candles with approximately the same opening price and similar body sizes. Psychology: Two consecutive positive sessions fail to challenge or close the downside gap, showing weak rebound power. Outcome: Two similar bullish candles fail to reclaim the downside gap, suggesting the downtrend remains intact.
	Bearish Three Line Strike (4) Bearish Continuation 4 Bars Structure: Three consecutive red candles with lower closes, followed by a long green candle opening at or below Day 3's close and closing at or above Day 1's open. Psychology: A sharp single-session rally temporarily recovers the losses of the prior three sessions without confirming a structural reversal. Outcome: A sharp counter-trend rally fails to reverse the broader decline; renewed selling below the pattern supports bearish continuation.
	Downside Gap Three Methods (3) Bearish Continuation 3 Bars Structure: Two falling red candles separated by a downside gap, followed by a green candle that opens within the second body and closes to fill the gap. Psychology: A corrective rebound rallies into the recent gap area, testing resistance created by the prior sell-off. Outcome: The bullish gap-fill represents a corrective rebound; if sellers regain control afterward, the downtrend resumes.
	Bearish On Neck Line (2) Bearish Continuation 2 Bars Structure: In a downtrend, a long red candle is followed by a smaller green candle that opens below Day 1's low and closes near Day 1's low. Psychology: A minor rebound after a gap-down fails to make meaningful progress into the prior session's body, stalling at the neckline. Outcome: Failure of buyers to push price into the previous candle's body indicates persistent weakness, favoring downtrend continuation.
	Bearish In Neck Line (2) Bearish Continuation 2 Bars Structure: In a downtrend, a long red candle is followed by a smaller green candle that opens below Day 1's low and closes slightly inside Day 1's body. Psychology: Buyers attempt a rebound after a gap-down but fail to penetrate significantly into the prior session's range. Outcome: Weak penetration into the prior candle reflects insufficient demand to reverse the decline, favoring downtrend continuation.
