Bullish Marubozu

A long green candle with no (or barely any) wicks. Open is the low, close is the high. Pure buying pressure.

[ Schematic ]

Clean view of the bullish marubozu in isolation.

[ In context · uptrend ]

After the downtrend, the pattern appears and price reverses higher.

What to do
BUY (with trend)
Confirmation

Strong signal on its own — continuation extremely likely if it appears mid-uptrend or after consolidation.

When it's most reliable

Bullish continuation (or strong reversal signal at a clear support level).

The psychology behind it

Buyers controlled the entire session. Open low, never looked back, closed at the high. Maximum aggression.

Like every candlestick pattern, the Bullish Marubozu is a probabilistic signal — not a guarantee. The strongest setups appear at clear support / resistance levels, with a directional bias from higher timeframes, and ideally with volume confirmation. Always combine candlestick reads with structure and trend context.
