Topping Tail


A topping tail is a candlestick pattern which some people believe marks the end up an upward move.  After several consecutive candles with large green bodies, the stock tries to make another large green candle.  But the price pulls back before the end of the last candle, leaving a large wick or tail at the top of the candle.
