Wish I knew. LOL That first one looks like one of my holdings and I have been staring at it all weekend so far. I had that pattern on one that I held last week and it held the range of the long body for 4 days and then collapsed down. A long body like the week before's on that OEX chart usually puts up resistance for any subsequent bounce. I must admit that candles are not my forte'. I use stochastics and trendlines as my primary indicators and then the rest are just qualifiers.

Actually there are a very rare few stocks or indexes that look like a short term bounce is possible but limited in strength. I have also seen this pattern as false and bull runs continue on but it is a rare occurance. My point was it is wide spread across the market.

The second site you sent me to I found something interesting that I was meaning to do later tonight. That is sector comparison. I noticed on his chart that what I consider defensive plays were the lowest sectors. Could we take that as they are the most likely to move up soon. That would make a short term bounce, sell into the rally then move into defensive posture even more interesting.

That engulfing reversal is also a tweezer top. And the big bearish belthold after it is confirmation. I think the Harami is too soon to be a sign of a reversal but we will need confirmation. If you use other indicators with candlesticks I think then you can have confirmation without waiting to see what the next candle may be- because then it is often too late when you are dealing with major moves.
