What is the opposite of a piercing line?

The opposite of a piercing line is the dark cloud cover, a bearish reversal pattern that mirrors the piercing line's structure. The dark cloud cover comes into play after an uptrend, beginning with a long green candle, then a red candle that gaps up and closes more than halfway down the green candle's body. It's effectively a bearish piercing pattern, a mirror-image bearish reversal that forms during an uptrend. Where the piercing line shows buyers reclaiming control after a downtrend, dark cloud cover shows sellers seizing control after a rally.
