If you see it at the bottom of a hill, it might be telling you the road is about to go uphill which means price may rise. If it appears at the top of a hill, it could be warning that a downhill stretch is coming which price may fall. In the middle of a flat road, it’s just a marker, you need more signs to know where you\u0026#8217;re headed.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Paper Umbrella is a special type of candlestick that signals a possible change in the direction of price movement. It has a small real body at the top and a long lower shadow, which means that during the trading session, prices fell significantly but then bounced back before closing. This shape resembles an upside-down umbrella, with the handle being the long shadow and the canopy being the small body.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two main types of Paper Umbrella patterns: the Hammer and the Hanging Man. The Hammer usually appears after a downtrend and suggests that buyers are starting to gain control, which could lead to a price increase. On the other hand, the Hanging Man shows up after an uptrend and hints that sellers might be stepping in, possibly causing the price to drop. So, while both patterns look similar, their meaning depends on where they appear on the chart.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe key feature of a Paper Umbrella is its long lower shadow, which should be at least twice the size of the body. This shadow shows that there was strong selling pressure during the session, but buyers managed to push the price back up before the close. The small body indicates that the opening and closing prices were close to each other, adding to the uncertainty and potential for reversal.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuppose a candlestick with the following values: the stock opened at ₹250, reached a high of ₹255, dropped to a low of ₹240, and finally closed at ₹252. Since the closing price is higher than the opening price, this forms a bullish candle. The real body of the candle is ₹252 minus ₹250, which equals ₹2. The lower shadow is ₹250 minus ₹240, giving us ₹10. Because the lower shadow is five times longer than the body, this candle fits the definition of a Paper Umbrella. It shows that sellers pushed the price down during the session, but buyers came in strong and pulled it back up before closing, hinting at a possible reversal in trend.\u003c/p\u003e\u003c/div\u003e\u003cdiv id=\u0027text_slider_slide02\u0027 class=\u0027sa_hover_container\u0027 data-hash=\u0027The-Hammer-Formation\u0027 style=\u0027padding:4.9% 5%; margin:0px 0%; background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); min-height:400px; \u0027\u003e\u003ch2 style=\u0022text-align: left\u0022\u003e\u003cspan style=\u0022color: #000000\u0022\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e7.2 \u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Hammer Formation\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022aligncenter wp-image-76120 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/hindi/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hammer-Candlestick-Pattern-1.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Hammer Candlestick Pattern\u0022 width=\u0022455\u0022 height=\u0022356\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/hindi/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hammer-Candlestick-Pattern-1.png 455w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hammer-Candlestick-Pattern-1-300x235.png 300w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hammer-Candlestick-Pattern-1-50x39.png 50w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hammer-Candlestick-Pattern-1-100x78.png 100w, https:/www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Hammer-Candlestick-Pattern-1-150x117.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\u0022 /\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bullish hammer is a powerful candlestick pattern that shows up at the bottom of a downtrend and hints at a possible price reversal.

If the trader is risk taker like Arjun he can enter the trade same day and buy some stocks whereas risk averse trader like Aakash will wait for next day and confirm that a Green colour candle is formed.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the day a hammer candlestick is forming, a risk-taking trader can assess the pattern around 3:20 PM by checking two key conditions. First, the open and close prices should be nearly equal within a 1–2% range indicating indecision between buyers and sellers. Second, the lower shadow must be at least twice the length of the real body, showing that although the price dipped significantly during the session, buyers stepped in and pushed it back up. If both conditions are met, the trader can consider it a valid hammer and may choose to enter a long position before the market closes.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a risk-averse trader, the strategy is more cautious. They wait until the next trading day to evaluate the price action. If the following candle is bullish typically a Green candle that closes above the hammer’s high, it confirms buying interest and validates the reversal signal. Only then does the trader consider entering a long position, reducing the chance of acting on a false pattern.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn both cases, the low of the hammer candle serves as a critical stoploss level. This is the point where buyers previously stepped in to defend the price. If the market falls below this level again, it suggests that the bullish reversal has failed, and the trader should exit to protect capital.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chart below highlights hammer formation that offered a profitable setup for both risk-takers and risk-averse traders.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cfigure id=\u0022attachment_76211\u0022 aria-describedby=\u0022caption-attachment-76211\u0022 style=\u0022width: 1192px\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption aligncenter\u0022\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022wp-image-76211 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172.png\u0022 alt=\u0022hammer formation\u0022 width=\u00221202\u0022 height=\u0022682\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172.png 1202w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172-300x170.png 300w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172-1024x581.png 1024w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172-768x436.png 768w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172-50x28.png 50w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172-100x57.png 100w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/67f688cf-522d-480b-9c6a-c18b15c2f172-150x85.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 1202px) 100vw, 1202px\u0022 /\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\u0022caption-attachment-76211\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption-text\u0022\u003eImage Source : Trading View\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eHow?\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eon 2nd February 2009 on the Nifty 50 weekly chart, both types of traders ,risk takers like Arjun and risk-averse like Aakash could have benefited, but the risk taker would have gained earlier entry and potentially higher returns.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere’s why:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe hammer on that date formed after a strong downtrend, and it met the classic criteria risk taker Arjun, checking the candle around 3:20 PM on that week’s Friday, would have seen the pattern shaping up and entered before the week closed, anticipating a reversal.

It resembles a hammer in shape,with a small real body near the top and a long lower shadow ,but its meaning is quite different due to its placement. The long lower shadow indicates that sellers tried to push the price down during the session, but buyers managed to recover some ground by the close. However, this recovery is seen as weak, especially after a strong rally, and suggests that selling pressure may be building beneath the surface.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor traders, the Hanging Man serves as a cautionary signal. While the candle itself doesn’t confirm a reversal, it raises a red flag that the uptrend might be losing steam. Confirmation is key ,if the next candle closes lower, especially below the Hanging Man’s low, it validates the bearish sentiment and may trigger short positions. The low of the Hanging Man acts as a reference point for stoploss placement, and traders often wait for volume spikes or additional bearish indicators before acting.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cfigure id=\u0022attachment_76215\u0022 aria-describedby=\u0022caption-attachment-76215\u0022 style=\u0022width: 1192px\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption aligncenter\u0022\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022wp-image-76215 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Hanging Man\u0022 width=\u00221202\u0022 height=\u0022686\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8.png 1202w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8-300x171.png 300w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8-1024x584.png 1024w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8-768x438.png 768w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8-50x29.png 50w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8-100x57.png 100w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/6dbd5aba-b0bd-46aa-a77d-36f065c7d7a8-150x86.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 1202px) 100vw, 1202px\u0022 /\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\u0022caption-attachment-76215\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption-text\u0022\u003eImage Source : Trading View\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe color of a Hanging Man candle whether red or green is not critical. What truly defines it is the proportion between the lower shadow and the real body. As long as the lower shadow is significantly longer than the body, the candle qualifies as a Hanging Man. However, for the pattern to be valid, it must appear after a clear uptrend like the one formed on the above chart, which sets the context for a potential bearish reversal.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe logic behind a Hanging Man is rooted in market psychology. During an uptrend, buyers are in control and prices continue to rise. On the day the Hanging Man forms, the market opens higher but then faces strong selling pressure, pushing prices down sharply. Although buyers manage to recover some ground by the close, the long lower shadow reveals vulnerability. This shift hints that sellers are beginning to challenge the bullish momentum, and if confirmed by a bearish candle next, it could signal a trend reversal.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Hanging Man pattern signals potential weakness in an ongoing uptrend and sets the stage for a shorting opportunity. A risk-taking trader Arjun may choose to act immediately, initiating a short position on the same day the Hanging Man forms, typically around the closing price. In contrast, a risk-averse trader Aakash waits for confirmation, specifically, a red candle on the following day that closes lower before entering the trade. This cautious approach helps reduce the chance of reacting to a false signal. \u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe method for validating the Hanging Man is identical to that used for the hammer pattern: focus on the shadow-to-body ratio and ensure the candle appears after a clear uptrend. Once the short position is taken, the high of the Hanging Man candle becomes the stoploss level, as it marks the point where buyers last attempted to push prices higher.

appears visually correct in terms of candlestick shape—a small real body near the top with a long lower shadow. However, the pattern fails contextually, which is why it does not result in a successful bearish reversal.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere’s why the Hanging Man is a failure in this case:\u003c/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eLack of Confirmation\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: After the Hanging Man forms, the next candle is not bearish. Instead, the market continues to rise, showing no signs of selling pressure or reversal. For a Hanging Man to be valid, it must be followed by a red candle that closes below the Hanging Man’s low. That confirmation is missing here.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrong Uptrend Continuation\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: The broader trend remains bullish even after the Hanging Man appears. The index keeps making higher highs, which invalidates the bearish signal. This suggests that buyers are still in control, and the Hanging Man was merely a pause or intraday dip—not a shift in sentiment.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eNo Volume Spike or Weak Close\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: A strong Hanging Man setup often includes high volume and a weak close relative to the open. In this case, the candle closes near its high, which shows that buyers recovered well by the end of the week—again, not a sign of weakness.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ol\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn summary, while the candle visually resembles a Hanging Man, the lack of confirmation, continued bullish momentum, and absence of selling pressure make it a failed pattern. It’s a great example to teach learners that context and follow-through matter more than shape alone.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this scenario, both the risk taker and the risk-averse trader would likely face a loss, but the risk taker would be hit harder.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHere’s why:\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe risk taker Arjun enters the short trade immediately after the Hanging Man forms, expecting a reversal. However, the following candles show continued bullish momentum, invalidating the bearish signal. Since they entered without confirmation, they’re exposed to the full upside move and would likely be stopped out quickly as the price rises above the Hanging Man’s high.\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003eThe risk-averse trader Aakash, on the other hand, waits for a red candle to confirm the reversal. But in this case, the next candle is bullish, so they would not enter the trade at all. Their strategy protects them from acting on a false signal.\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSome Activity For You\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cfigure id=\u0022attachment_76221\u0022 aria-describedby=\u0022caption-attachment-76221\u0022 style=\u0022width: 2394px\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption aligncenter\u0022\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022wp-image-76221 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Some Activity for You\u0022 width=\u00222404\u0022 height=\u00221036\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047.png 2404w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-300x129.png 300w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-1024x441.png 1024w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-768x331.png 768w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-1536x662.png 1536w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-2048x883.png 2048w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-50x22.png 50w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-100x43.png 100w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/1ae54e50-aaad-4c52-a89d-78a718b9b047-150x65.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 2404px) 100vw, 2404px\u0022 /\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\u0022caption-attachment-76221\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption-text\u0022\u003eImage Source : Trading View\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn May 2012, a Hanging Man candlestick pattern appeared on HDFC Bank’s weekly chart.

The colour of the candle is less important than its structure and placement. What matters is the rejection of higher prices, which is visually captured by the long upper wick. Traders often wait for confirmation in the form of a bearish candle on the following day or week, one that closes below the Shooting Star’s low to validate the reversal signal before initiating a short position.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce confirmed, the trade setup typically involves entering a short position below the Shooting Star’s low, with a stoploss placed just above its high. This protects against false signals and limits risk. The Shooting Star is especially powerful when it appears near resistance zones or after an extended rally, as it reflects exhaustion among buyers. However, like all candlestick patterns, it should be used in conjunction with other indicators or price action analysis to improve reliability and avoid premature trades.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cfigure id=\u0022attachment_76219\u0022 aria-describedby=\u0022caption-attachment-76219\u0022 style=\u0022width: 2394px\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption aligncenter\u0022\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022wp-image-76219 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Example\u0022 width=\u00222404\u0022 height=\u00221044\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3.png 2404w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-300x130.png 300w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-1024x445.png 1024w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-768x334.png 768w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-1536x667.png 1536w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-2048x889.png 2048w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-50x22.png 50w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-100x43.png 100w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/d62a2edb-bd0d-4843-9342-a74645f7bae3-150x65.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 2404px) 100vw, 2404px\u0022 /\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\u0022caption-attachment-76219\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption-text\u0022\u003eImage Source : Trading View\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eOpen\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: 1,238.75\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: 1,297.10\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eLow\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: 1,237.95\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c/b\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eClose\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e: 1,295\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Shooting Star candlestick highlighted on the Nifty 50 weekly chart dated 4\u003csup\u003eth\u003c/sup\u003e August 1997 is an example of a bearish reversal signal. It appears after a short-term uptrend, with the candle’s long upper wick indicating that bulls initially pushed prices higher during the week, but were ultimately overpowered by bears who drove the price back down near its opening level. This rejection of higher prices suggests waning bullish momentum and potential for a trend reversal. The small real body near the candle’s low reinforces the bearish sentiment, especially when it forms near a resistance zone or after a sustained rally.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLooking at the weekly Nifty 50 chart from August 1997, the Shooting Star candlestick stands out as a potential bearish reversal signal. It forms after a short-term uptrend and is characterized by a long upper wick and a small real body near the candle’s low, indicating that buyers initially pushed prices higher but were ultimately overwhelmed by sellers. This rejection of higher prices suggests weakening bullish momentum.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eNow, how do Arjun and Aakash respond?\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArjun, the risk taker, doesn’t wait for tomorrow. He acts on the same day the Shooting Star forms, but only after validating two things: first, that the current market price is hovering near the day’s low i.e. 1237.95 and second, that the upper shadow is at least twice the size of the real body. He’s betting on a reversal and is willing to take the heat if it doesn’t play out.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAakash, on the other hand, waits for confirmation. He watches the next day’s candle closely. If it’s a red candle, meaning the price closes lower than it opens—he takes that as a sign that the reversal is real. Only then does he enter the short trade, ideally near the close of that second day. His stop-loss is also placed at 1297.10, just like Arjun’s.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce either trader enters the trade, the rule is simple: don’t interfere. No second-guessing, no premature exits. The trade is valid until either the stop-loss is hit or the target is achieved. If the stop-loss is triggered, the trader must exit without hesitation, the setup has failed, and staying in the trade could lead to unnecessary losses. This discipline is what separates a strategy from a gamble.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoth traders recognize the significance of the Shooting Star, but their actions diverge based on their tolerance for uncertainty. Arjun seeks early entry and fast gains, while Aakash waits for confirmation and prefers a more calculated approach. This divergence beautifully illustrates how the same technical signal can lead to different strategies depending on the trader’s psychology and risk profile.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmall Activity for you\u003c/i\u003e\u003c/em\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/p\u003e\u003cfigure id=\u0022attachment_76223\u0022 aria-describedby=\u0022caption-attachment-76223\u0022 style=\u0022width: 3558px\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption aligncenter\u0022\u003e\u003cimg loading=\u0022lazy\u0022 decoding=\u0022async\u0022 class=\u0022wp-image-76223 size-full\u0022 src=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63.png\u0022 alt=\u0022Small Activity for you \u0022 width=\u00223568\u0022 height=\u00221538\u0022 srcset=\u0022https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63.png 3568w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-300x129.png 300w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-1024x441.png 1024w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-768x331.png 768w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-1536x662.png 1536w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-2048x883.png 2048w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-50x22.png 50w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-100x43.png 100w, https://www.5paisa.com/finschool/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/23ac9077-4141-4376-9650-1a2158b28b63-150x65.png 150w\u0022 sizes=\u0022(max-width: 3568px) 100vw, 3568px\u0022 /\u003e\u003cfigcaption id=\u0022caption-attachment-76223\u0022 class=\u0022wp-caption-text\u0022\u003eImage Source : Trading View\u003c/figcaption\u003e\u003c/figure\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cb\u003eScenario:\u003c/b\u003e\u003c/strong\u003e In the week of November 2012, a Shooting Star candlestick appears on the chart after a bullish run.
