What the piercing line is
After a big red candle, green closes above its middle.
Imagine sliding down a slide, then climbing back up more than halfway before you stop. A piercing line is like that: after a big red candle, the next green candle climbs back past the middle of the red one. Buyers took back more than half of the drop.
