Candlestick shape · 1 bar · ▼ bearish
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; BOTH shadows ≤ shortShadowRatio × range
Thresholds are named by the option key the code reads. The values below are the ones the detector ships with, read at render from its defaults; every ratio is measured against the bar’s own range or the trailing average body, so the same numbers apply to a low-priced stock and to a high-priced coin.
- bodyAvgPeriod = 14
- shortShadowRatio = 0.1
- longBodyRatio = 1
Prior trend

Several names can describe one bar. This one belongs to the long-down-body family with Bearish marubozu, Bearish belt hold, Bearish closing marubozu; anything that tallies patterns counts the family once per bar, so one candle never reads as several detections agreeing.
