Hanging Man candlestick pattern

The hanging man is also comprised of one candle and it's the opposite of the hammer. If a hammer shape candlestick emerges after a rally, it is a potential top reversal signal. The shape of the candle suggests a hanging man with dangling legs. It is easily identified by the presence of a small real body with a significant large shadow. A true hanging man must emerge at the top of an uptrend. All the criteria of the hammer are valid here, except the direction of the preceding trend. The body can be empty or filled-in; it may show a very small shadow on the top; the lower shadow has to be twice as large as the body; and the body has to be on the upper end of the trading range to be considered a bearish reversal signal.
