Updated
Introduction:
The Vertical Support Area can help us identify the entry opportunity when we make long trade. It is formed by at least three candlesticks:
1. bullish candlestick or bearish candlestick
2. bullish candlestick or bearish candlestick
3. bullish candlestick, the close price must higher than the high price of the second candlestick, meanwhile, there is a significant increase in volume, this is the most important requirement.

The third candlesticks help us identify whether there formed a vertical support area.
