In Neck

A bearish continuation candlestick pattern that occurs in a downtrend. It consists of a long bearish candle followed by a smaller bullish candle that closes near but slightly above the prior candle's close.

Example

For example, during a downtrend in crude oil, an In Neck pattern appears where a small bullish candle closes just at the prior bearish candle's close, suggesting the downtrend is likely to continue.
