The Dark Cloud Cover candlestick pattern occurs when a stock that is in an uptrend has a tall hollow candle that is followed by a tall filled candle that extends below the mid-point of the first candle.

A Dark Cloud Cover pattern signals short-term weakness for the stock.  The idea is that investors who were excited by Thursday's big rise are now disheartened by today's lack of follow through - thus making another rally unlikely in the near term.
