Notice this week's candlestick has fat body meaning the bulls were in overall control following a kicker signal, this is what you'd expect to see after such signal for potential change of direction.
It's important to point out a similar kicker signal a few weeks ago has no follow through, instead the very next candle is a inside doji followed by an bearish engulfing candle.
Verdict: current change of direction remains in effect as long as there's no contradictory patterns showing up.
