✤ Rejection:

In financial markets, rejection refers to a situation where the price attempts to move beyond a certain level—such as a support, resistance, or key psychological level—but fails to sustain the move, signaling a lack of momentum in that direction. This often leaves behind visual cues on a candlestick chart, such as long wicks or shadows, indicating market hesitation or reversal.

Key Features of Rejection:
✤ Long Wick or Shadow

The wick represents the area where price attempted to go but was "rejected."

Upper Wick: Indicates rejection of higher prices, often signaling bearish sentiment.

Lower Wick:Indicates rejection of lower prices, often signaling bullish sentiment.

✤ Occurs Near Key Levels:

Resistance Rejection: When price tests a resistance level but cannot break above it.

Support Rejection: When price tests a support level but does not break below it.

✤ Market Sentiment Shift:

Shows that buyers or sellers are stepping in to defend a certain price level, potentially leading to a reversal or consolidation.

✤ Examples of Rejection in Candlestick Patterns:

Hammer Candle (Bullish Rejection): Long lower wick, small body; often signals reversal from downtrend.

Shooting Star (Bearish Rejection): Long upper wick, small body; often signals reversal from uptrend.

Doji: Indicates indecision and can reflect rejection depending on context.
