    B-638 What is Hanging man candlestick pattern_WWW.ISFM.CO.IN

    In the world of technical analysis, candlestick patterns help traders make informed decisions by revealing market psychology. One of the most reliable bearish reversal indicators at the top of an uptrend is the Hanging Man candlestick pattern.

    If you’re trading in an overbought market or suspect a trend is losing steam, spotting a Hanging Man can save you from major losses—or even help you profit from reversals.

    In this blog, we’ll cover:

    • What is a Hanging Man pattern
    • How it forms and how to identify it
    • Key trading strategies
    • Where to place stop loss
    • Pros and cons of using this setup
    • Where to master these patterns with live coaching

    What is a Hanging Man Candlestick?

    The Hanging Man is a single-candle bearish reversal pattern that appears after a strong uptrend. It looks just like a Hammer but appears at the top, not the bottom.

    Key Characteristics:

    • Small real body at the top of the range
    • Long lower shadow (at least 2x the body)
    • Very little or no upper shadow
    • Appears after a bullish rally

    It reflects weakening buyer strength and the possible entry of sellers.

    How Does the Hanging Man Form?

    1. After a strong uptrend, bulls open the candle higher
    2. During the session, sellers push prices down significantly
    3. By the end, bulls recover some ground, but fail to close strong
    4. This results in a small body with a long lower wick—a clear sign of buying pressure fading

    It’s a sign that sellers are testing the waters—and bulls are starting to tire.

    How to Identify a Hanging Man?

    Use the following checklist to spot a true Hanging Man:

    ✅ Appears after a noticeable uptrend
    ✅ Small real body at the top of the range
    ✅ Long lower shadow (at least twice the body)
    ✅ Little or no upper wick
    ✅ Ideally confirmed with next bearish candle or high volume

    How to Trade the Hanging Man Pattern?

    Entry Strategy:

    • Wait for the next candle to break below the low of the Hanging Man
    • Confirm with volume spike or bearish RSI divergence

    Stop Loss:

    • Place stop loss above the high of the Hanging Man candle

    Target:

    • Previous support level or
    • Use Fibonacci retracement levels or moving averages as dynamic targets

    We cover this trading logic live in our CSTX – Chartered Stock Trading Expert Course

    Pros and Cons of Hanging Man Pattern

    Pros:

    • Easy to spot visually
    • Great early warning signal for trend reversal
    • Can be highly accurate with volume confirmation

    Cons:

    • Needs confirmation from the next candle
    • May produce false signals in sideways markets
    • Not useful in isolation—requires context (trend + volume)
