Piercing line
Candle Combos
Halfway is the line
After a decline: a red candle, then a green that opens lower but closes ABOVE the midpoint of the red body. Buyers reclaimed more than half the lost ground overnight.
Check yourself
The green candle must close…
- Above the red's midpoint correct
- At the high
- Green at all
Above 50% = conviction. Below 50% is 'on-neck' weakness, not a piercing line.
