Bullish Kicking (A bullish push) is a pattern that may rarely appear but once this candlestick is created, it will give a strong bullish signal. The opposite of Bullish Kicking is the Bearish Kicking pattern, giving bearish signal. In this article, we will introduce you to the basic characteristics of the two models and how to use them effectively in real trading.
What is Bullish Kicking and Bearish Kicking?
Bullish Kicking or Bullish Kicker (bullish push) is a pattern of 2 candles, a bearish marubozu candle and an increased marubozu candle are "connected" with a gap.
To help remember this model better, you can imagine a player dropping a ball onto the field. The ball after falling will bounce, creating a gap from the grass. At this time the new player launches a kick, the ball will eventually fly high.
In contrast to the Bullish Kicking pattern is Bearish Kicking or Bearish Kicker (Kick push prices down). This pattern starts with a rising marubozu candle, then a gap appears and creates a bearish marubozu candle.

- The first candle is a falling marubozu

The stop loss should be placed below the lowest of the first day.
Profit-taking points can be placed at the resistance levels or we can exit orders when the uptrend signal is broken. For example, in the example below, the stock price has risen in the Rising Wedge model, so when the Wedge Rising model is broken, we will close the position.

Therefore, in order to minimize the stop loss, we wait for the price to go up to place a sell order down.
The trade will be profit-taking if the price breaks out of the downward channel (see illustration).
