A doji with open and close at or near the low and a long upper wick. Buyers pushed price up, sellers brought it all the way back.
How traders use it: At resistance after an advance it is read like a shooting-star-type rejection, pending confirmation.
Common mistake: Treating it as bearish after a long decline, where it may just be a pause.
