What it
Means
In an uptrend, the market
builds strength on a long white day and gaps open on the
second day. However, the second day trades within a small
range and closes at or near its open. This scenario
generally shows erosion of confidence in the current trend.
Confirmation of a trend reversal would be a lower open on
the next trading day.
