Important K-line Pattern Interpretations

T-Shape Line
It indicates that the stock price was heavily pushed down during the trading process but was ultimately strongly pulled back to the opening price to close.

Inverted T-Shape Line
Trying to jump higher and escape, but being pressed down to the floor— all rebounds are firmly suppressed by the bears, closing at a new low for the day, indicating that the bulls have completely failed and the bears are in full control.

Small Upper Shadow Bullish Line
Like sprinting to the finish line but being pulled back half a step—although the closing price is higher than the opening (red candle), the long upper shadow indicates heavy selling pressure at high levels, and the bulls failed to hold their gains.

Small Upper Shadow Bearish Line
Jumped up to reach something but fell short and stumbled—failed to break through during the intraday rally, heavily pushed back by the bears, with the closing price lower than the opening, signaling a clear pullback after a rally and heavy selling pressure.

Large Bullish Candle
Like a sprinter, taking the lead at the open and closing at the highest point of the day or close to it, usually representing that buyers have an overwhelming advantage in the trading session.

Large Bearish Candle
Bears dominate throughout, falling from open to close without resistance. Usually accompanied by panic selling, do not rush to catch falling knives.

Small Bullish Candle
Prices rose, but the rise was sluggish and weak. Like a car running out of fuel, it might be charging up or about to stall, depending on whether the trading volume supports it.

Small Bearish Candle
Prices fell, but the decline was sluggish and tearful, like taking a light stumble while walking—possibly genuinely exhausted or pretending to be weak to deceive you into helping it up.

One-Word Line (Limit Up)
It’s “limit-up lock, unmoving”—the price hits the daily limit and stays locked all day, unable to buy in, indicating that the buying power is absolutely strong.

One-Word Line (Limit Down)
It’s “limit-down suppression, unmoving”—the price hits the daily limit and remains locked all day, unable to sell, indicating that the selling power is absolutely strong.

Lower Shadow Small Bullish Line
Like “a deep squat followed by a jump.” During the day, it was heavily pushed down by the bears but was supported strongly by buyers, reversing to close in the red—indicating very strong support below and a sign of bottoming out and rebounding.

Lower Shadow Small Bearish Line
Fallen into a pit, climbing out halfway. After the bears pushed the price down, the bulls tried to resist but lacked strength, only reducing losses and failing to turn red, representing a resistance-based decline.
