Following a sustained 6-month uptrend, a 'Hanging Man' candle forms on the daily chart with volume at 1.8 × the average. The next candle is a 'Shooting Star' on 2.1 × average volume.

What does this two-candle sequence confirm?

  1. The sequence is a 'bullish re-accumulation' setup, since the Hanging Man's lower wick still shows buyers stepping in with real support.
  2. The Shooting Star is an anomaly, since its heavier volume versus the Hanging Man actually signals a fresh trend continuation higher.
  3. The sequence confirms a 'Buying Climax' has occurred here, meaning accumulation is about to start soon.
  4. The sequence confirms the start of the distribution phase through two distinct signatures of weakness (from below and above).
