"Hanging Man Candle on Bullish Trend—Pause or Plot Twist?"
📊 Market Recap:
As anticipated from the ongoing bullish structure, Nifty opened with a strong Gap-Up at 24,357, adding +192 Points (+0.79%) to the charts. However, what looked like a continuation day quickly turned cautious. The initial candle marked the day’s high (Open = High scenario, nearly exact) and started a gap-filling move, pushing prices back to CPR.
The market respected CPR as a support, then moved back towards its mean (VWAP) where the PDH + R1 zone resisted price action effectively until 1 PM. Post that, Nifty finally broke out, sustained above the zone, and closed at 24,300—still holding gains despite a red candle, which visually seems bearish but technically closes above VWAP + PDH. Hence, a hidden bullish undertone remains.
🕯 Daily Candle Check: Is It a Hanging Man?
A textbook Hanging Man candle appears to have formed on the Daily Chart—a bearish reversal pattern that shows potential weakness at the top of a rally.
📌 Candle Stats:
Body: 28 points
Lower Shadow: 209 points
Upper Shadow: 2 points
Shadow-to-body ratio: 209 / 28 = 7.4x
✅ Trend Context: Yes, uptrend present
✅ Candle Structure: Meets all parameters
👉 Verdict: Confirmed Hanging Man Candle
This hints that selling pressure is gradually creeping in while buying strength might be exhausting. But a Hanging Man alone isn't a trade trigger—confirmation is key. So we watch tomorrow’s session to decide whether it’s just a pause or a trend shift.
📈 Intraday Insight: Head & Shoulders Pattern
During the session’s consolidation and bounceback phase, a Head & Shoulders pattern played out intraday with its target being 24,300—achieved successfully by EOD.
🔍 Pattern Recap:
This bullish reversal structure shows three dips, with the central one (head) being the deepest and two shallower ones (shoulders). A break above the “neckline” confirmed bullishness—supporting the rebound above VWAP.
