## What it means

A candle pushes to a new low, then closes above the previous candle's high. Sellers made one last push and buyers took over before the candle closed.

## How it is confirmed without repainting

The new low and the close are both part of one closed candle. Nothing is decided while it is still forming.

## When it fails

The next candles fall back below the middle of the reversal candle.
