Candlestick Requirements and Flexibility
The candlestick’s black body should be of average length, with the lengths of the shadows being inconsequential.

This candlestick alone is insufficient to determine bearishness, as it reflects only one day of trading under sellers’ control. It could indicate either the continuation of a trend or a reversal. For a well-informed decision regarding market direction, it is essential to consider adjacent candlesticks.
