What the bearish marubozu is
A full red body with no wicks. Sellers owned the whole candle.
Think of a sled sliding from the top of a hill to the bottom without a single bump. A bearish marubozu is a big red candle like that: price opened at the top and closed at the very bottom. Sellers were in charge from start to end.
