A Practical Guide For Candlestick Patterns!Intraday trading is a method of investing in cryptocurrencies where the trader buys and sells cryptocurrencies on the same day without any open positions left by the end of the day. Intraday traders aim to either purchase a cryptocurrency at a low price and sell it at a higher price or short-sell a cryptocurrency at a high price and buy it at a lower price within the same day. This requires a good understanding of the market and relevant information to help them make the right decisions. In the cryptocurrency market, the price of a cryptocurrency is determined by its demand and supply, among other factors. Tools such as candlestick chart patterns are very helpful to traders. We will discuss these candlestick charts and offer steps to help you read them.

📊10 Candlestick Patterns You need To Know🔷 Bullish engulfing: A candlestick pattern where a smaller bearish candle is followed by a larger bullish candle, indicating a potential reversal of a downtrend. 🔷 Bearish engulfing: The opposite of a bullish engulfing pattern, where a smaller bullish candle is followed by a larger bearish candle, suggesting a potential reversal of an uptrend. 🔷Tweezer tops: Two consecutive candlesticks with equal or near-equal high prices, indicating possible resistance and a potential reversal from an uptrend. 🔷Tweezer bottoms: Similar to tweezer tops, but indicates support and a potential reversal from a downtrend. 🔷Bullish harami: A bullish harami is a candlestick chart indicator used for spotting reversals in a bear trend. It is generally indicated by a small increase in price (signified by a white candle) that can be contained within the given equity's downward price movement (signified by black candles) from the past couple of days. 🔷Morning star: A three-candle pattern consisting of a bearish candle, a small indecisive candle, and a bullish candle, indicating a potential reversal from a downtrend. 🔷Evening star: The opposite of a morning star pattern, consisting of a bullish candle, a small indecisive candle, and a bearish candle, suggesting a potential reversal from an uptrend. 🔷Three white soldiers: Three consecutive long bullish candles, typically seen as a strong bullish reversal pattern. 🔷Three black crows: Three consecutive long bearish candles, often considered a bearish reversal pattern. 🔷Three inside up : A bullish reversal pattern composed of a large down candle, a smaller up candle contained within the prior candle, and then another up candle that closes above the close of the second candle. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

🔋Candlestick Power📍Candlestick patterns are powerful tools used in technical analysis to analyze and predict price movements in financial markets, particularly in trading. They provide valuable insights into market sentiment and help traders make informed decisions. The open, close, and various components of a candlestick, such as the body and shadows, are crucial in determining whether it is bullish or bearish. 🔷A candlestick consists of a body and two shadows, also known as wicks or tails. The body represents the price range between the open and close of a trading period, while the shadows represent the high and low points reached during that period. 🔷A bullish candlestick occurs when the closing price is higher than the opening price, indicating buying pressure and market optimism. The body is typically filled or colored, indicating a bullish trend. The longer the body, the stronger the bullish sentiment. Shadows may exist above or below the body, and they represent the price range outside of the open and close. Long shadows indicate higher volatility during the trading period. 🔷A bearish candlestick forms when the closing price is lower than the opening price, reflecting selling pressure and market pessimism. The body is often empty or colored differently to indicate a bearish trend. Again, the length of the body provides information about the strength of the bearish sentiment. Shadows can be found above or below the body, representing the price range outside the open and close. Similar to bullish candles, long shadows suggest increased volatility. Traders use different candlestick patterns and combinations to identify potential trend reversals, continuation patterns, or price consolidations. For example, a doji candlestick, where the open and close are very close or equal, signals indecision in the market and may precede a reversal. Engulfing patterns occur when one candle fully engulfs the body of the preceding candle, indicating a potential trend reversal. However, it is important to note that candlestick patterns should be used in conjunction with other technical indicators and fundamental analysis to confirm the validity of a potential trade signal. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

Learn the Strongest Reversal Candlestick Patterns Hey traders, In this educational article, we will discuss powerful reversal candlestick patterns that every trader must know. Bullish Engulfing Candle Bullish engulfing candle is one of my favorite ones. It usually indicates the initiation of a bullish movement after a strong bearish wave. The main element of this pattern is a relatively big body. Being bigger than the entire range of the previous (bearish) candle, it should completely "engulf" that. Such a formation indicates the strength of the buyers and their willingness to push the price higher. Bearish Engulfing Candle The main element of this pattern is a relatively big body that is bigger than the entire range of the previous (bullish) candle. Such a formation indicates the strength of the sellers and their willingness to push the price lower. ________________________ Bullish Inside Bar Inside bar formation is a classic indecision pattern. It usually forms after a strong bullish/bearish impulse and signifies a consolidation. The pattern consists of 2 main elements: mother's bar - a relatively strong bullish or bearish candle, inside bars - the following candles that a trading within the range of the mother's bar. The breakout of the range of the mother's bar may quite accurately confirm the reversal. A bullish breakout of its range and a candle close above that usually initiates a strong bullish movement. Bearish Inside Bar A bearish breakout of the range of the mother's bar and a candle close below that usually initiates a strong bearish movement. ________________________ Doji Candle (Morning Star) By a Doji we mean a candle that has the same opening and closing price. Being formed after a strong bearish move, such a Doji will be called a Morning Star. It signifies the oversold condition of the market and the local weakness of sellers. Such a formation may quite accurately indicate a coming bullish movement. Doji Candle (Evening Star) Being formed after a strong bullish move, such a Doji will be called an Evening Star. It signifies the overbought condition of the market and the local weakness of buyers. Such a formation may quite accurately indicate a coming bearish movement. I apply these formations for making predictions on financial markets every day. They perfectly work on Forex, Futures, Crypto markets and show their efficiency on various time frames. ❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️

💥 Bullish VS Bearish Candlesticks📍Bullish and bearish candlestick patterns are technical analysis tools used by traders to identify potential market trends and reversals. Bullish patterns indicate a potential rise in the price of an asset, while bearish patterns indicate a potential decline in price. 🔷 Bullish candlestick patterns include the dragonfly doji, hammer, tweezer bottom, morning star engulfing and three white soldiers. These patterns suggest that buying pressure is increasing and that there may be a potential for a trend reversal. 🔷 Bearish candlestick patterns include the gravestone doji, inverted hammer, tweezer top three black crows and more. These patterns suggest that selling pressure is increasing and that there may be a potential for a trend reversal. 🔷When using candlestick patterns for trading, it's important to look for confluence with other signals, such as trend lines, support and resistance levels, and other technical indicators. Combining multiple signals can provide a stronger indication of potential market movements and help traders make more informed trading decisions. 🔷It's also important to note that candlestick patterns should not be relied on as the sole indicator for trading decisions, as they are not always accurate and can produce false signals. Traders should always use a combination of technical analysis tools and fundamental analysis when making trading decisions. This is why its important to create and monitor your own strategy and backtest what works and what doesn't. 👤 @AlgoBuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

master candle strategy explained🔸The concept of the Master Candle is well known in trading. There are different ways of looking at this trading strategy, but in its simplest form, a Master Candle is a candle which contains the highs and lows of at least the next four candles after it. 🔸Can be applied to forex, gold , oil , crypto, stocks and indices. 🔸simple rules to enter the trade based on the breakout of high/low. 🔸Master candle setup is confirmed once 4 or 5 candles are traded inside the range defined by master candle high and low. 🔸The Master Candle trading strategy provides clear pattern and also helps in the identification of breakout points. 🔸You should not try to trade near a Support / Resistance (SR) zone. 🔸There should be no trade against a Support / Resistance zone that is closer than the Master Candle’s height. 🔸Only take a trade when a candle breaks the Master Candle’s High or Low. 🔸It is recommended to always target the Master Candle size when exiting the trade. So, for example, if the Master Candle size is 80 pips, consider setting your profit target at 80 pips. 🔸Place your Stop-Loss order in the opposite direction of the entry at the other end of the Master Candle. So, in a long trade, the stop should be at the Master Candle’s low, while in a short trade the stop should be at the Master Candle’s high.

What is Candlestick Pattern?Candlestick patterns are a charting technique used by traders to analyze the price movement of financial instruments. They originated in Japan in the 18th century and were used to track the price of rice. The technique was later adapted for trading other assets like stocks, currencies, commodities, and cryptocurrency. Candlestick patterns are an important tool used by traders and investors to analyze the price movement of financial assets. A candlestick is a visual representation of the price movement of an asset during a specific time period. Each candlestick represents the opening, closing, high, and low prices of the asset during the period. The shape and color of the candlestick provide important information about the price movement of the asset. Candlestick patterns are formed by the combination of one or more candlesticks, and they can indicate a potential trend reversal, continuation, or indecision in the market. Some candlestick patterns are based on just one candlestick, while others are based on combinations of two or more candlesticks. A bearish candle (red candle) represents a period of trading where the closing price is lower than the opening price. This indicates that sellers were able to push the price down, indicating a negative sentiment in the market. The bearish candle has a long body and a small lower wick, indicating that sellers were in control for most of the trading period. A bullish candle (green candle) represents a period of trading where the closing price is higher than the opening price. This indicates that buyers were able to push the price up, indicating a positive sentiment in the market. The bullish candle has a long body and a small upper wick, indicating that buyers were in control for most of the trading period. Both bullish and bearish candles can come in various sizes and shapes, indicating different levels of buying or selling pressure. For example, a long bullish candle with no or a very small upper shadow could indicate strong buying pressure, while a short bullish candle with a long upper wick could indicate weaker buying pressure. Different types of candlesticks Pattern: 1. Bullish Candlestick Pattern - Hammer - Inverse Hammer - Bullish Harami - Bullish Engulfing - Morning Star - Three white soldiers 2. Bearish Candlestick Pattern - Shooting star - Hanging man - Bearish Harami - Bearish Engulfing - Evening star - Three black crows Doji: Gravestone Doji Dragonfly Doji Long-legged Doji ( Spinning top ) In the upcoming post, we will elaborate on the various types of candlesticks and how to use them.

Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing - Step 5 < Let's just watch it for three minutes! Zhuge Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing > Step 5. Types of bearish candles Let's talk about the types of bullish candles yesterday and the types of bearish candles today. Likewise, let's classify the types based on the shape. First, the hanging candle. It's a candle that went down to a low price and then went up a little. It's a bearish candle with a tail at the bottom. The shorter the torso and longer the tail, the more likely the next movement is to rise. Next is 'meteoric candle'. It's a candle that goes up once and then rolls down all the gains and then goes down further. Because both the torso and tail contain the drop, the longer the torso and tail, the greater the influence. If these cans appear at the high point, they are likely to turn downward. Lastly, "long stick - bearish candle". The properties are similar except for the pole bullish candle and the bearish/bullish. It's a light stick candle with only the body without a tail up and down. In general, there is a very strong downward trend in the process of these cans appearing, and the longer the torso, the more the amount of decline, so it exerts a greater influence. Today, we've looked at the typical types of bearish candles. Likewise, when you look at the shape of the candle on the actual chart, let's review it so that the characteristics of the candle come to mind!

Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing - Step 4 < Let's just watch it for three minutes! Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing > Step 4. Types of bullish candles We've looked at the composition of the candles in the previous sections. Today, we're going to classify the types of bullish candles based on their shapes. First, it's a hammer-type candle. It's a candle that went down to low prices and then went up. The shape has a tail only on the bottom. If these candles came out of the low point, you can expect a trend shift to an upward trend. The shorter the body and the longer the tail, the more reliable the candle is. Next is the reverse hammer type candle. Although it is a bullish candle, it is a candle that is bent at the end and left the upper tail. The shorter the torso and longer the tail, the higher the probability that the next move will be a drop. Conversely, the longer the torso and shorter the tail, the stronger the upward force, so the next is the higher the probability of ascending. The length of the tail and body is important. Lastly, it's "a long-stick candle". The shape itself is simple, but it's a beekeeping candle with only the body without the top and bottom tails. In general, there's a very strong upward trend in the process of these cans appearing, and the longer the torso, the greater the amount of upward movement, so it exerts a greater influence. Today, we've looked at a typical type of bullish candle, and the shape of the candle is very important because it represents the power to move up and down. When you look at the shape of the candle on the actual chart, let's review it so that the characteristics of the candle come to mind!

Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing - Step 2 < Let's just watch it for three minutes! Zhuge Gongmyeong's Knowledge Sharing > We learned the basic theory about the composition of candles yesterday, and today we're going to summarize the names of the candles while looking at the actual candles. You can think of it as a review of yesterday's content! First, let's look at the left candle. The left candle is green, so it's bullish candle. - Bullish candle is a candle with a higher closing price than the starting price, which means that the price was higher at the end than at the beginning of the candle formation. The starting price and the closing price can be confusing, so let's find out the easiest high price and low price first. The high price is the highest price in the candle. They don't care about bullish or bearish candle. The low price is the lowest price in the candle, as opposed to the high price. In these candle, the high price is around 22315 and the low price is around 22250. In the bullish candle, the 'starting price' is 'below' the closing price. So the red part is the beginning of the candle. It looks like 22265. The closing price is the blue part located on the opposite side. It looks like it's about 22300. This time, let's distinguish between the body and the tail. *If you divide the bullish candle into tail and body, it can be divided into three categories: lower tail, body, and upper tail. Lower tail (low price ~ market price) Body (shiga to closing price) Upper tail (Closing price ~ expensive) We found low prices, starting prices, closing prices, and high prices earlier, so you can replace them as they are. Lower tail (22250 to 22265) Body (22265 to 22300) Upper tail (22300 to 22315) It's not hard, right? In fact, the tail, the body, the top price, and the low price can be intuitively distinguished, so it is important to understand to the extent that "Closing price" and "Starting price" are not confused. The candle on the right is a bar. Check it out and let's understand why it's like that!

📊 Candlestick CheatsheetCandlestick charts are commonly used in trading to analyze market trends and make trading decisions. Candlesticks can be categorized as bullish or bearish, depending on whether the price has increased or decreased over a given period. It is important to note that while candlestick patterns can be useful in predicting market movements, they should not be used in isolation, and other indicators and analysis should also be considered. It is also important to have a clear understanding of the market and its underlying fundamentals before making any trading decisions. 🔹 Rails The rails pattern is a two-candlestick pattern that typically occurs during a downtrend. The first candle is a long red candle, followed by a long green candle that opens below the previous day's close but closes above it, creating a rail-like pattern. 🔹 Three White Soldiers The three white soldiers pattern is a bullish pattern that consists of three consecutive long green candles with small or no wicks. It typically occurs after a downtrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Three Black Crows The three black crows pattern is a bearish pattern that consists of three consecutive long red candles with small or no wicks. It typically occurs after an uptrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Mat Hold The mat hold pattern is a five-candlestick pattern that occurs during a bullish trend. It consists of a long green candle, followed by three small candles with lower highs and higher lows, and ending with another long green candle. 🔹 Pinbar The pinbar pattern is a single candlestick pattern that has a long tail or wick and a small body. The tail should be at least two times the length of the body. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Engulfing The engulfing pattern is a two-candlestick pattern that occurs when the second candle's body completely engulfs the previous candle's body. A bullish engulfing pattern occurs during a downtrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction, while a bearish engulfing pattern occurs during an uptrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Morning Star The morning star pattern is a three-candlestick pattern that typically occurs after a downtrend. It consists of a long red candle, a small candle, and a long green candle, with the small candle gapping down from the previous day's close. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Evening Star The evening star pattern is the opposite of the morning star pattern and typically occurs after an uptrend. It consists of a long green candle, a small candle, and a long red candle, with the small candle gapping up from the previous day's close. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 👤 @algobuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

THE DRIVING FORCE IN THE CANDLEHello everybody! Today I want to discuss with you the movement hidden in the candle. This struggle inside the candle can tell us a lot about the future movement. Let's go! Fighting Inside each candle there is a serious struggle between buyers and sellers. Unfortunately, most traders not only do not notice, but also do not think about this struggle, and this is very valuable information. The price does not move just like that, you should understand this. Understanding which side is winning gives us information that helps us to keep a deal more confident or close it. Candles We all know that candles consist of a body and shadows. But not everyone understands how candles are formed. Let's take the first candle on the chart. This is a green full-bodied candle, without shadows. Looking at it, we understand that the strength of buyers is much higher than that of sellers. Specifically, there are no traces of sellers in this candle at all. This means that the uptrend is strong and there is no resistance from sellers, which means that if we have opened a long, we can confidently hold the position. The second candle already has shadows. These shadows are not large, but they indicate to us that sellers still managed the market for some time. From the first second, sellers pushed the price down, after which buyers forcefully overcame the situation in their favor - this is how the lower shadow was formed. The upper shadow is a movement created by sellers at the end of the candle formation. By such a candle, we can understand that the trend is still strong, although sellers are already pushing harder, but buyers are still winning quite confidently. We can still hold our position with sufficient confidence. The third candle has shadows even longer than the second. Does this mean that it's time to close a long position? No! Buyers are still strong, but sellers are not asleep either. We should be on the alert and wait for the next candle to show. The last fourth candle has very long shadows. There is no winner here anymore. There is an equal struggle going on here. And if there is no winner, it means that the price can go anywhere. If you look in the context of the previous candles, you can understand that buyers have lost strength, and sellers have become more confident. As we can see at the beginning of the candle formation, the sellers were able to lower the price significantly, after which the sellers got down to business. The price rose until the sellers pushed the price down again. In this candle, both buyers and sellers controlled the market for the same time. But we already understand that sellers are gaining momentum and a trend change is possible. The last candle is the well-known Doji, after which you will often observe a reversal. To better understand the movement, see the lower timeframes. There you will be able to look at the price under a microscope to understand who is still winning the market. Result Each candle contains information. A professional trader knows how to interpret each movement correctly. Maybe it's a correction? Or maybe it's a trend reversal? Using different timeframes, you can better understand who is dominating the market right now. Do not be lazy to analyze. Trade wisely! Good luck! Traders, if you liked this idea or if you have your own opinion about it, write in the comments. I will be glad 👩‍💻

HOW-TO: Adjust Default Parameters in MLC for Intraday TradingThe default parameters in Master/Last Candle (MLC) indicator are used for the standard timeframe 1D. Due to the difference in nature between bars of intraday timeframes and bars of day-and-above timeframes, some settings could be changed as below to make the indicator tailored to your case. • Increase default Max Volume Drop % from 25 to 30. We have seen a case in timeframe 30m that requires deeper volume drop than 25% to catch the big move. If you also find a big move that is not captured by MLC, try to adjust this measure as we do. If it is not your case, ignore this item and keeping the old default value as 25. Before After • Other parameters: Percentile % , Min Price Breakout % .

Most Popular Types Of Candles How to Read Candlestick charts? Candlestick charts were originated in Japan over 100 years before the West had developed the bar charts and point-and-figure charts. In the 1700s, a Japanese man known as Homma discovered that as there was a link between price and the supply and demand of rice, the markets also were strongly influenced by the emotions of traders. A daily candlestick charts shows the security’s open, high, low, and close price for the day. The candlestick’s wide or rectangle part is called the “real body” which shows the link between opening and closing prices. This real body shows the price range between the open and close of that day’s trading. When the real body is filled, black or red then it means that the close is lower than the open and is known as the bearish candle. It shows that the prices opened, the bears pushed the prices down and closed lower than the opening price. If the real body is empty, white or green then it means that the close was higher than the open known as the bullish candle. It shows that the prices opened, the bulls pushed the prices up and closed higher than the opening price. The thin vertical lines above and below the real body is knowns as the wicks or shadows which represents the high and low prices of the trading session. --------------------------------------- 1- Hammer Candle Hammer is a single candlestick pattern that is formed at the end of a downtrend and signals a bullish reversal. The real body of this candle is small and is located at the top with a lower shadow which should be more than twice the real body. This candlestick chart pattern has no or little upper shadow. The psychology behind this candle formation is that the prices opened, and sellers pushed down the prices. Suddenly the buyers came into the market and pushed the prices up and closed the trading session more than the opening price. This resulted in the formation of bullish pattern and signifies that buyers are back in the market and downtrend may end. Traders can enter a long position if next day a bullish candle is formed and can place a stop-loss at the low of Hammer. ----------------------------------------- 2- Hanging Man Hanging Man is a single candlestick pattern which is formed at the end of an uptrend and signals bearish reversal. The real body of this candle is small and is located at the top with a lower shadow which should be more than the twice of the real body. This candlestick pattern has no or little upper shadow. The psychology behind this candle formation is that the prices opened and seller pushed down the prices. Suddenly the buyers came into the market and pushed the prices up but were unsuccessful in doing so as the prices closed below the opening price. This resulted in the formation of bearish pattern and signifies that seller are back in the market and uptrend may end. Traders can enter a short position if next day a bearish candle is formed and can place a stop-loss at the high of Hanging Man. ----------------------------------------- 3- Three White Soldiers The Three White Soldiers is a multiple candlestick pattern that is formed after a downtrend indicating a bullish reversal. These candlestick charts are made of three long bullish bodies which do not have long shadows and are open within the real body of the previous candle in the pattern. ----------------------------------------- 4- Inverted Hammer An Inverted Hammer is formed at the end of the downtrend and gives a bullish reversal signal. In this candlestick, the real body is located at the end and there is a long upper shadow. It is the inverse of the Hammer Candlestick pattern. This pattern is formed when the opening and closing prices are near to each other and the upper shadow should be more than twice the real body. ---------------------------------------- 5- Piercing Pattern Piercing pattern is a multiple candlestick chart pattern formed after a downtrend indicating a bullish reversal. Two candles form it, the first candle being a bearish candle which indicates the continuation of the downtrend. The second candle is a bullish candle which opens the gap down but closes more than 50% of the real body of the previous candle, which shows that the bulls are back in the market and a bullish reversal is going to take place. Traders can enter a long position if the next day a bullish candle is formed and can place a stop-loss at the low of the second candle. ---------------------------------------- 6- White Marubozu The White Marubozu is a single candlestick pattern that is formed after a downtrend indicating a bullish reversal.

All candlestick patterns for Trading : Bullish reversal patternsHello everyone 😃 In this article we present Most useful bullish reversal patterns of candlesticks and How to trade with them. ( Sorry for my irregular chart 🤦‍♂️ I'm not good in drawing 😁 ) 📊 What is Candlestick charts ? Candlestick charts are a type of financial chart for tracking the movement of securities. They have their origins in the centuries-old Japanese rice trade and have made their way into modern day price charting. Some investors find them more visually appealing than the standard bar charts and the price actions easier to interpret. Candlesticks are so named because the rectangular shape and lines on either end resemble a candle with wicks. Each candlestick usually represents one day’s worth of price data about a stock. Over time, the candlesticks group into recognizable patterns that investors can use to make buying and selling decisions. 📍 Bullish reversal Candlestick Patterns : Over time, groups of daily candlesticks fall into recognizable patterns with descriptive names like three white soldiers, dark cloud cover, hammer, morning star, and abandoned baby, to name just a few. Patterns form over a period of one to four weeks and are a source of valuable insight into a stock’s future price action. Before we delve into individual bullish candlestick patterns, note the following two principles: 1- Bullish reversal patterns should form within a downtrend. Otherwise, it’s not a bullish pattern, but a continuation pattern. 2- Most bullish reversal patterns require bullish confirmation. In other words, they must be followed by an upside price move which can come as a long hollow candlestick or a gap up and be accompanied by high trading volume. This confirmation should be observed within three days of the pattern. 📌 The bullish reversal patterns can further be confirmed through other means of traditional technical analysis—like trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators—to reaffirm buying pressure. There are a great many candlestick patterns that indicate an opportunity to buy. We will focus on five bullish candlestick patterns that give the strongest reversal signal. 🈺 Now let's talk about patterns that we provided on chart.. ! - Hammer : Hammers have a small real body and a long lower shadow. 📚 The hammer candlestick shows sellers came into the market during the period but by the close the selling had been absorbed and buyers had pushed the price back to near the open. - Inverted hammer : The Inverted Hammer formation is created when the open, low, and close are roughly the same price. Also, there is a long upper shadow which should be at least twice the length of the real body. 📚 The Inverted Hammer candlestick formation occurs mainly at the bottom of downtrends and can act as a warning of a potential bullish reversal pattern. - Dragonfly DOJI : The open, high, and close prices match each other, and the low of the period is significantly lower than the former three. This creates a "T" shape. 📚 A dragonfly DOJI after a price decline warns the price may rise. If the next candle rises that provides confirmation. - Bullish kicker : This pattern is characterized by a sharp reversal in price over the span of two candlesticks. 📚 Traders use kicker patterns to determine which group of market participants is in control of the direction. - Bullish spinning top : A spinning top is a candlestick pattern that has a short real body that's vertically centered between long upper and lower shadows. 📚 Spinning tops are a sign of indecision in the asset; the long upper and lower shadows indicate there wasn't a meaningful change in price between the open and close. - Bullish engulfing : This pattern appears in a downtrend and is a combination of one dark candle followed by a larger hollow candle. 📚 Bullish engulfing patterns are more likely to signal reversals when they are preceded by four or more black candlesticks. - Bullish harami : It is generally indicated by a small increase in price (signified by a white candle) that can be contained within the given equity's downward price movement (signified by black candles) from the past couple of days. 📚 A bullish harami is a candlestick chart indicator for reversal in a bear price movement. - Tweezers bottom : A tweezers bottom occurs when two candles, back to back, occur with very similar lows. 📚 Tweezers are more meaningful as part of other trends, especially pullbacks. - Morning star : A morning star is a visual pattern made up of a tall black candlestick, a smaller black or white candlestick with a short body and long wicks, and a third tall white candlestick. 📚 The middle candle of the morning star captures a moment of market indecision where the bears begin to give way to bulls. The third candle confirms the reversal and can mark a new uptrend. - Morning DOJI star : A Morning Doji Star consists of a long bearish candle, followed by a Doji that has gapped below it, then a third bearish candle that closes well within the body of the first candle and in doing so confirming the reversal. It is considered a strong bullish price reversal candlestick pattern. 📚 It is considered as a signal of a potential upcoming reversal of the current trend of the market. - Bullish abandoned baby : It forms in a downtrend and is composed of three price bars. The first is a large down candle, followed by a doji candle that gaps below the first candle. The next candle opens higher than the doji and moves aggressively to the upside. 📚 This pattern signals the potential end of a downtrend and the start of a price move higher. - Three white soldiers : The pattern consists of three consecutive long-bodied candlesticks that open within the previous candle's real body and a close that exceeds the previous candle's high. 📚 Three white soldiers are considered a reliable reversal pattern when confirmed by other technical indicators like the relative strength index (RSI). 📌 These candlesticks should not have very long shadows and ideally open within the real body of the preceding candle in the pattern. - Three line strike : The bullish formation is composed of a big green candle, 3 up candles, and one down candle erasing the advance made by the prior 3 candles. 📚 After prices trend in a particular direction, they will pause before refreshing higher. This is seen as a continuation pattern and is different from a pattern that would signal a reversal. - Three inside up : The three inside up pattern is a bullish reversal pattern composed of a large down candle, a smaller up candle contained within the prior candle, and then another up candle that closes above the close of the second candle. 📚 Consider using these patterns within the context of an overall trend. For example, use the three inside up during a pullback in an overall uptrend. 📌 These patterns are short-term in nature, and may not always result in a significant or even minor trend change. - Three outside up : The three outside up and three outside down patterns are characterized by one candlestick immediately followed by two candlesticks of opposite shading. 📚 Three outside up/down are patterns of three candlesticks that often signal a reversal in trend. 📌 Each tries to leverage market psychology in order to read near-term changes in sentiment. - Three stars in the south : It is formed by three black or red (down) candles of decreasing size following a price decline. 📚 The pattern indicates a bullish reversal, although the price should ultimately move in the expected direction before taking a trade. This is called confirmation. 📌 The three stars in the south candlestick pattern is a very rare pattern that doesn't typically precede large price moves. - Bullish stick sandwich pattern : One candlestick pattern is the stick sandwich because it resembles a sandwich when plotted on a price chart - they will have the middle candlestick oppositely colored vs. the candlesticks on either side of it, both of which will have a larger trading range than the middle candlestick. 📚 Candlestick charts are used by traders to determine possible price movement based on past patterns; These patterns may indicate either bullish or bearish trends, and so should be used in conjunction with other methods or signals. - Matching low : The matching low pattern is created by two down candlesticks with similar or matching closing prices. 📚 The pattern occurs following a price decline and signals a potential bottom or that price has reached a support level. - Break breakaway : The first candle in the formation is long and black. The second candle is also long gaps away from the first in the direction of the trend. The third candle can be either color, but does not show a change in trend direction. The fourth candle continues in the direction of the proceeding trend. The fifth candlestick has a long white body, opens against the trend and continues in that direction to close the gap. 📚 The Bullish Breakaway pattern is a five candle reversal formation that occurs during a downtrend. - Bullish Tri-Star : Tri-Star patterns form when three consecutive DOJI candlesticks appear at the end of a prolonged trend. 📚 A Tri-Star is a three line candlestick pattern that can signal a possible reversal in the current trend, be it bullish or bearish. 📍 A Tri-Star pattern near a significant support or resistance level increases the probability of a successful trade. - MARUBOZU : A large real body, There will be no shadow at either sides of the candle, The color of the candle will be of a significant meaning. 📚 MARUBOZU means “bald head” or “shaved head” in Japanese, and this is shown in the absence of wicks or shadow on the candlestick, meaning that the opening or closing price will be the same as the maximum prices of the candle. The absence of shadow indicates that the trading session opened at a high price and close at a low price at the end of the day (or the opposite). 🔴 NOTES : - There are many bullish reversal patterns that we only present most useful patterns for trading ! - Most of them have 2 definition and direction ( Bearish and Bullish ) and we only present bullish reversal patterns ! - For better result in your trading, You need to confirm patterns through trend lines, momentum, oscillators, or volume indicators. ⏰ Best timeframes to work with candlestick patterns : Traders usually use Monthly, Weekly, Daily, 4-Hour, Hourly, 15-Minute and even 1-Minute timeframes. Ideally, traders pick the main timeframe they are interested in and then choose a longer and a shorter timeframe to complement the main one. The longer timeframes typically contain fewer and more reliable signals. The shorter timeframes usually contain more signals with less accuracy. There are several types of traders, and they have different trading styles. 📍 We will provide more contents for candlestick patterns in next weeks !

MUST SEE!!!!!! How candle time ranges make a BIG differencethis is a quick chart today. the point of this chart is to illustrate how zooming out even 30min can change your whole perspective on how the market is moving. left side 1h chart right side 1.5hr(90min) chart within the circled range (the breakout) you can see in the 1HR chart 3 red candles vs. the 1.5HR chart has no red candles. NONE! if your waiting for your candles to close before you freak out on a dip then on a 1.5hr chart you would have never seen a reason to close a long. if red candles scare you out of trades. always zoom out on the charts instead of freaking out and being impulsive. tip of the day...never trade based off candles smaller than 1HR. ***im not a professional ....i do this cuz i like to help other make money too!****

Bearish Reversal Candlesticks PatternsHanging man The hanging man is the bearish equivalent of a hammer (bullish pattern). It typically forms at the end of an uptrend with a tiny body and a long lower wick. The lower wick designates that there was a large sell-off, but bulls headed to take back control and drive the price up. Holding that in mind, after a lengthened uptrend, the sell-off may act as a warning that the bulls might soon be losing control of the market. Shooting star The shooting star is a comparable pattern as the inverted hammer (bullish pattern) but is formed at the end of an uptrend. The shooting star is composed of a candlestick with a long upper wick, little or no lower wick, and a small body, ideally near the low. It indicates that the market reached a high, but then sellers took control and drove the price back down. Three black crows The bearish equivalent of three white soldiers (bullish pattern). The three black crows are made of three sequential red candlesticks that open within the previous candle’s body, and close at a level below the previous candle’s low. Ideally, these candlesticks shouldn’t have long higher wicks, betokening continuous selling pressure pushing the price down. The dimension of the candles and the length of the wicks can be used to estimate the chances of continuation. Bearish harami The bearish harami is a long green candle followed by a small red candle with a body that’s completely contained within the body of the previous candle. The bearish harami can unfold over two or more days, marks at the end of a downtrend, and may symbolize that buying pressure is decreasing. Dark cloud cover The dark cloud cover pattern consists of a red candle that opens above the close of the previous green candle but then closes below the midpoint of that candle. It can often be co-occurred by high volume, indicating that momentum might be shifting from the upside to the downside. Traders might wait for a third red candle for confirmation of the pattern.

Trend Continuation Candlesticks PatternsTrend Continuation Candlesticks Patterns There are countless candlestick patterns that traders can use to identify areas of interest on a chart. These can be used for day trading, swing trading, and even longer-term position trading. Rising three methods This pattern occurs in an uptrend, where three consecutive red candles with small bodies are attended by the continuation of the uptrend. Ideally, the red candles shouldn’t breach the area of the previous candlestick. The continuation is confirmed with a green candle with a large body, symbolizing that bulls are back in control of the trend’s direction. Falling three methods The inverse of rising three methods, indicating the continuation of a downtrend instead. It’s relevant to note that candlestick patterns aren’t fundamentally a buy or sell signal by themselves. They are rather a way to look at market structure and a potential indication of upcoming opportunities.
