About

Hanging Man: hammer shape (small body, long lower wick) that appears at the top of an uptrend instead of a downtrend. Bearish reversal warning.

  • Only flagged when the prior close is above its 20-SMA (uptrend context).
  • Red bar colour highlights the warning; confirmation candle is still required.
