In-Neck Pattern
bearish
Definition
Like on-neck, but the green closes a hair INSIDE the prior body — still a feeble bounce.
Psychology
The bounce barely crept into yesterday's candle — sellers barely noticed.
Real-life analogy
💡 The rescuer gets one toe in the water, then retreats.
Confirmation
Break of the two-candle low.
Invalidation
A push above the red body's midpoint.
Historical behaviour
Nison groups it with on-neck/thrusting as bear-flags in candle form.
Illustrative success rate
~55-60% continuation · Medium reliability
Common beginner mistakes
- • Buying it thinking it's a piercing pattern
- • Ignoring the midpoint rule
