A White Marubozu is followed by a sharply lower gap when it opens during the second day. The second day opening is even below the prior session’s opening (forming a Black Marubozu). Such a pattern is called a Bearish Kicking Pattern.

Bearish Kicking is a two candlestick reversal pattern. The pattern occurs during an uptrend, beginning with a black Marubozu candlestick. The second candlestick gaps below the close of the first and is a white Marubozu.

The bearish kicking pattern is a bearish stock market sign. It does not require the prior trend to either be up or down. This pattern consists of two different days. The first day is a bullish day that makes a nice clear Marubozu. The second day the stock gaps down and continues down for the remainder of the day. It should make a big candlestick and have a little to no shadow. Why does the bearish kicking pattern work? When the stock gaps down and continues down without any bullish pressure it is a sign that the bears are taking control and selling pressure should continue for the next few days.

The Bearish Kicking Pattern is a large Black Marubozu (open is the high of the day and the close is the low of the day) following a large White Marubozu (open is the low of the day and the close is the high of the day). After the White Marubozu, the stock gaps sharply lower at the open, opening with a gap below the prior session’s opening, and dropping to close at the low of the day.
