Bearish kicking pattern

The bearish kicking pattern is a bearish stock market sign. It does not require the prior trend to either be up or down.

This pattern consists of two different days. The first day is a bullish day that makes a nice clear Marubozu. The second day the stock gaps down and continues down for the remainder of the day. It should make a big candlestick and have a little to no shadow.

Why does the bearish kicking pattern work? When the stock gaps down and continues down without any bullish pressure it is a sign that the bears are taking control and selling pressure should continue for the next few days.
