Kicking

The Kicking Up pattern (also called Bullish Kicking) consists of two Marubozu candles that appear as long lines. The first candle of the pattern is a Black Marubozu, the second line is a White Marubozu. The open of the second line is higher than the previous open, which forms a price gap.

Depending on the trend in which the pattern appears, it can predict its continuation or reversal. The next candle determines the direction of the price.

The pattern is extremely rare, especially in liquid markets. It can be seen more as an exoticism than as a seriously traded pattern.
