Modus Operandi
This pattern is rare but can be one of the most powerful signals available, even better yet, if the pattern occurs in overbought or oversold markets. It can form regardless of the trend direction and is a strong bearish signal. This usually forms when the bears have forcefully pushed the price down. Please take note of the GAP.
Fun Fact
Volume plays a vital role with the Bullish Kicker. The volume will likely be higher for the Bullish Kicker than any of the surrounding candles.
