• The body lies on one side of the candlestick (upper or lower side)

Bullish Pin Bar signs the upward reversal. It has a long lower wick (shadow) and a short or almost no upper wick. Its body is small on the upper side.
On the contrary, Bearish Pin Bar indicates the downward reversal. It has a long upper wick and a short or almost no lower shadow. Its body lies on the lower side.
