Bearish kicking is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern, which indicates the start of a new downtrend. It is a rare but highly reliable formation consists of two candlesticks – one bullish (white or colorless) candlestick and one bearish (black or colored) candlestick. Both are marubozu candlesticks (having no upper and lower shadows, or having very small shadows). Bearish kicking pattern has a strong resemblance to bearish separating lines pattern, the difference is that it has a gap between the two candlesticks.



Requirements of bearish kicking candlestick pattern include,

• The prior trend is not important with this pattern.
• On first day, there should be a bullish marubozu candlestick.
• On second day, there should be a bearish marubozu candlestick which opens below a downside gap.

The opening of second candlestick way below the closing of first day candlestick and the continuous bearish activity to close the day in a new low sends a strong signal that the market is bearish. More over, the price of second day never enters first days range, giving the indication that it is difficult to move the prices up.

Bearish kicking candlestick pattern is a highly reliable pattern and the reliability increases with increase in gap, increase in real-body and trading volume of second day candlestick. Confirmation of bearish trend is suggested, which can be a lower gap (occurs many times), a bearish candlestick or lower close on next trading day.
