A Japanese candlestick pattern signaling a bearish reversal.
It forms at the top of an uptrend or near a resistance area.
It consists of multiple candlesticks.
At the end of an uptrend volatility tightens as the market is forming a topping pattern. Short bodies substitute the long white bodies. Finally, a long black candle breaks below the pattern with a gap to complete the pattern.
