Pattern & Confirmation Chart for the Last 6 Months

Signal Update

Today's recommendation from our system is to SHORT. The BEARISH HARAMI pattern has finally received confirmation because the prices crossed below the confirmation level at 25.67, and our valid average selling price now stands at 25.45. The previous BUY signal was issued on 09/10/2025, 2 days ago, when the stock price was 25.68. Since then, VKTX has fallen by -0.92%.

Market Outlook

The bears have substantial evidence supporting their case, prompting us to consider placing a bearish bet. Today’s candlestick has a black body and its close is below the confirmation level. The bearish pattern that was previously identified is finally confirmed and a SHORT signal is generated. Act on the signal and capitalize on the bearish sentiment before the opportunity fades. SHORT is a dangerous signal. Sudden increases in prices can lead to huge losses. For this reason stop-loss levels must be kept in mind at all times and SHORT orders must never be placed without a stop-loss.

Pattern Description

This pattern comprises a large white candlestick followed by a smaller black candlestick that is entirely contained within the range of the previous white candlestick. The pattern resembles a pregnant woman when outlined, hence the name. "Harami" is a Japanese term that means "pregnant." In this context, the larger white candlestick is referred to as the "mother," while the smaller black candlestick is the "baby." more...
