The Belt Hold is a one day candlestick pattern and it can be bullish or bearish.
A bullish belt hold occurs when prices open on the low of the day and then immediately move higher creating a long bullish candlestick. The bullish belt hold is also referred to as a white opening shaven bottom.
A bearish belt hold occurs when prices open on the high of the day and then move down for the remaining period, thus creating a long bearish candlestick. The bearish belt hold is called a black opening shaven head.
