What the dark cloud cover is
After a big green candle, red closes below its middle.
Imagine a sunny sky, and then a dark cloud slides over more than half of it. A dark cloud cover is like that: after a big green candle, the next red candle pushes down past the middle of the green one. Sellers took back more than half of the climb.
