- appears as a long line
Bearish Belt Hold is a one-line pattern formed by the Opening Black Marubozu basic candle. There is no source providing the information on how short the lower shadow should be. In CandleScanner, we adopted that it should be no more than 25 percent of the candle. The pattern has to occur in an uptrend.
It rarely changes the trend on the next candle. Pattern rather slows it down, and the turning point occurs in the subsequent nearest candles. However, it is not the rule. As with all one-line patterns, it is worth waiting a few candles for a signal confirmation.
Bearish Belt Hold pattern may occur in combination with another pattern. For example, it can be the second line of such patterns as Bearish Engulfing, Dark Cloud Cover, and Three Inside Down. In this case, the more important is the pattern composed of multiple lines. When the Bearish Belt Hold pattern is formed by a very long candle (three times longer than an average length of n last candles), it may create a very strong resistance zone.
