hanging man

Executed by rope

A hanging man is a person being executed or who has died by hanging—suspended by a rope around the neck.

In technical analysis of financial markets, a hanging man is a candlestick pattern resembling a body with dangling legs, signaling potential reversal after an uptrend.

The children's word-guessing game where incorrect guesses add body parts to a gallows drawing is usually called hangman, not hanging man.
