In
candlestick charting, a candlestick indicating a possible turnaround in a
bear market. A bullish bear hold occurs after a series of losing
trading days, represented by black candles. The bullish bear hold is a gaining trading day, represented by a white candle, in which the
opening price is the
bottom price and the
closing price is only slightly lower than the
intraday high, both of which are much higher than the opening price. This is represented by a long candle with no wick (or
shadow) at the bottom and only a short wick (or shadow) at the top.
