Upside Tasuki Gap
bullish
Definition
Green, gap up, green — then a red that dips INTO the gap but can't close it. Trend resumes.
Psychology
Price gapped up, a red candle tried to close the gap and failed — buyers defend their moat.
Real-life analogy
💡 A moat gets tested by the enemy — and holds.
Confirmation
A green close above the red candle's high.
Invalidation
A close that fully fills the gap voids it.
Historical behaviour
Needs a real gap — intraday charts rarely qualify.
Illustrative success rate
~55-60% continuation · Medium reliability
Common beginner mistakes
- • Panicking during the normal red test candle
- • Trading it where no true gap exists
