The hanging man is a type of candlestick pattern. Candlesticks displays the high, low, opening and closing prices for a security for a specific time frame. Candlesticks reflect the impact of investor' emotions on security prices and are used by some technical traders to determine when to enter and exit trades.
The term "hanging man" refers to the candle's shape, as well as what the appearance of this pattern infers. The hanging man represents a potential reversal in an uptrend. While selling an asset solely based on a hanging man pattern is a risky proposition, many believe it's a key piece of evidence that market sentiment is beginning to turn. The strength in the uptrend is no longer there.
