Bullish Marubozu
A long green candle with little or no wick. Buyers controlled the session from the open to the close.
Where it matters
Most meaningful when it breaks out of a range or closes above a resistance level. Inside a choppy range it says much less.
Faded candles are the trend before it, the band is the pattern, the dashed line is the level it formed at, and ✓ marks the confirming candle.
How to read it
- 01
How it forms
Price opens near the low and closes near the high. Sellers could not push it back at any point in the session.
- 02
Where it matters
Most meaningful when it breaks out of a range or closes above a resistance level. Inside a choppy range it says much less.
- 03
What confirms it
The next candles hold above the middle of the Marubozu body. A quick fall back into the body weakens the read.
- 04
Where the idea is wrong
A close below the low of the Marubozu shows that the buying did not last.
- 05
What volume should do
Volume clearly above the recent average supports the idea that the move had wide participation.
- 06
Common mistake
Reacting after a long, extended rally. A large candle late in a move can mark exhaustion rather than strength.

Opposite pattern
Bearish Marubozu
Most meaningful when it breaks below a support level or a range. Inside a range it is often just noise.
Single Candle
Hammer
Only a Hammer after a decline and at a support zone counts. The same shape in the middle of a range is not a Hammer.
Single Candle
Shooting Star
Only meaningful after a rise and at a resistance zone. In the middle of a range it carries little weight.
