Non-Breakout Candles have a small Body Height in comparison to Candle Height as shown below (Fig.1)

They are called weak because by itself they cannot be leading to any trend direction and have to wait for the
ensuing Strength candle to follow for the direction.

If seen on a Breakout Crossing Line, it cannot give due confirmation of Breakout and have to wait for the
ensuing Strength Candle, which if does not appear the Breakout is termed ‘Failed’ as shown below (Fig.2).
