Gravestone Doji
A Gravestone Doji is a bearish reversal candle where the open, close, and low are all at (or very near) the same price, with a long upper wick and little to no lower wick.
The mirror of a Dragonfly Doji — buyers pushed price sharply higher intraday, but sellers fully reclaimed the session, closing right back at the open/low.
- Appears after an uptrend.
- Open and close are equal or nearly equal, at the bottom of the candle's range.
- Long upper wick, at least several times the size of any real body.
- Look for bearish confirmation on the following candle before entering short.
- Stop-loss is commonly placed above the Gravestone's high.
