Bearish Hanging Man

The hanging man is a bearish reversal pattern. It signals a market top or a resistance level. Since it is seen after an advance, a Bearish Hanging Man Pattern signals that selling pressure is starting to increase. The low of the long lower shadow indicates that the sellers pushed prices lower during the session. Even though the bulls regained their footing and drove prices higher by the finish, the appearance of this selling pressure after a rally is a serious warning signal.

Today, Freeport Mcmoran (FCX) made such a candle.

The candlestick shown is almost like a dragon fly doji, just that it has a rather larger head or candle body
