Marubozu (Bearish)
A Bearish Marubozu is a single candle with a long body and no wicks at all — the open equals the high and the close equals the low — showing sellers in full control from the opening bell to the close.
Uninterrupted selling pressure for the entire session — a strong bearish momentum signal that can mark a reversal after an uptrend or a continuation signal mid-downtrend.
- No upper or lower wick (or an extremely minimal one).
- Long real body relative to recent candles.
- Open at the session high, close at the session low.
- Often used as a breakdown or momentum-entry signal, sometimes with entry on the following candle's pullback.
- Because it shows no rejection at all, some traders wait for the next candle to avoid chasing an overextended move.
