What the hanging man is
After a rise, a long lower wick warns that sellers are testing.
Imagine climbing to the top of a hill, slipping far down, then scrambling back up. You made it, but the slip warns that the ground up there is shaky. A hanging man is that slip, showing up after price has been rising.
