Rejection block — Trading Glossary

rejection

The zone covered by a long lower wick at a swing low (upper wick at a swing high) — from the wick's extreme to the candle's body — after the move away from it breaks structure.

Made measurable: the wick at least twice the body, and a close through the last lower high (a change of character) before the block counts. A close back through the block invalidates it.

The long-wick swing low that reversals often start from — the three conditions it needs, where to mark it, and when it is dead.
