Wick

Marubozu & belt holds

Candles 101

No wicks, no doubt

A marubozu opens at one extreme and closes at the other: zero wicks, total control by one side. After consolidation — price going sideways in a tight range while nobody wins — it often kicks off the next leg.

Check yourself

A full-body green marubozu means…

  1. Buyers controlled open to close correct
  2. A reversal is guaranteed
  3. Low volume

No wick = no successful pushback the entire period. Pure conviction.
