Bearish · nagare boshi

Drawn example, not a real chart

What it shows

After a rally, a session with a small real body at the bottom of the range and a long wick standing above it. Price pushed sharply higher and every bit of that push was sold back before the close. The Japanese description is direct: it shows trouble overhead.
