Candlestick shape · 5 bars · ▼ bearish · on the chart F3M
Definition
The textbook label for this shape is ▼ bearish. The label describes the shape; it is not an instruction.
QuantZ does not claim this shape has predictive value. The detector reports that the bars met a definition; it says nothing about what follows.
The rule the detector applies
long down bar; three smaller bars inside its range with net upward drift; a long down bar opening below the last close and closing below the first close
Thresholds are named by the option key the code reads, and the list below is every option this shape’s detector reads, taken from the detector’s source. The values are the ones it ships with, read at render from its defaults. Each ratio compares parts of the bars (a body, a shadow, a range) with one another, or with the average body or range of the bodyAvgPeriod bars before them; bodyAvgPeriod, trendLookback and hikkakeConfirmBars are counts of bars. So the same numbers apply to a low-priced stock and to a high-priced coin.
- bodyAvgPeriod = 14
- longBodyRatio = 1
