Gravestone Doji

BearishReversal1 candleReliability:

A Doji with a long upper shadow and open/close/low near the bottom — a bearish reversal signal.

Description

Price is pushed up during the session but sold back to close at the low, leaving a long upper shadow and almost no lower shadow.

Market psychology

Buyers tried to push higher but failed completely; sellers seized control — typically seen at tops.

How to trade

At resistance / an uptrend high, consider selling once the next candle confirms; stop-loss above the tail.

Confirmation

A bearish candle closing lower right after.
