Yes, that is the classic definition of a Marubozu. Thanks, T.

The setups we take are a bit different in that having a small shadow does not negate the setup (and in particular, if there is a small shadow at the bottom and that buying came late in the day). We would prefer the top shadow to be extremely minimal or nonexistant.

Because we pair the Marubozu setup with moving averages, volume, and standard support and resistance for these plays, the psychological state of those who are interested in the stock becomes the main factor -- and that Pavlovian response appears to be fairly constant.

Let me just add that we would never take a play like this based solely on a Black Marubozu candlestick. Support must be present, and the setup has to appear within a generally uptrending pattern that makes optimistic bargain hunters want to jump in.
