CDLTHRUSTING

Summary

A two-candle pattern: a long black candle followed by a white candle that opens below the prior low and closes back into the prior body but below its midpoint. It is a bearish continuation signal. A hit is bearish: the failed white push back into the black body signals continuation of the down move.

Notes

The pattern is classically meaningful only in a downtrend, but this function does not verify any prior trend.
Although the pattern can be read as bullish in an uptrend or when it recurs, this function ignores trend and always reports it as bearish.
