in what direction determines the color or type of candle
up=generally hollow or green down=generally full, red or black
Todays shadows have not changed. If you looked just before lunch when we were close to the low of the day then the candle shadows would have appeared smaller and the body larger than it is now. The price is closer to the opening price currently so the body appears smaller now.
