What the gravestone doji is
Buyers pushed price far up, sellers pushed it all the way back.
Throw a ball straight up and it falls right back into your hand. A gravestone doji is like that: after a rise, price shot up during the candle, then sellers pushed it all the way back down to where it opened. It looks like an upside-down letter T.
