Could be bullish or bearish. Here's the theory:
"....usually the market is full of bullish energy. The market has opened on or near its highs, then sells off sharply and then rallies to close near highs.
If the market opens lower the next day, those who bought on the open or close of the hanging man are now left "hanging" with a losing position. Thus, if there's a down gap open the next day the market is vulnerable to a fast break down with the added fuel of the losers closing their positions.
On the other hand if the market opens same or up and progresses that way then it's a sign of continued strength."
As is often the case, a long winded way of saying that it'll either go down or go up 🙂
thanks for that Barjon I am going to spot other "hanging mans" on ftse, wonder when the last one was.
