Candlestick Analysis

SPY: Candlestick Patterns HackHere is a pro-hack that helped me identify and learn candlestick patterns. I used the Spy Daily chart here as an example, but it works for any period and ticker (The longer out the time frame, the better aggregated data can be extrapolated). It's cool to have this resource available when learning to spot them and in the course of training your eye. Using Trading View platform simply: 1. Hit up the Public Library 2. Type in: Candlestick Patterns 3. Choose your preference (I circled the specific one I use/still use as it has been quite reliable as far as accuracy comes...mind you they aren't all perfect but it is great to upgrade your game , so I hope it helps) 4. Have Fun and Happy Charting 👹🤓

ETH An example in why retail traders are wrong!Good Morning traders! Today I have a great example of order protection and liquidity building. This is something that I have been speaking about for a long time and this current PA shows it well. The blue boxes show places where large orders have been placed and and initiated moves. See how price returns to retest these areas?! this gives the Banks, Whales and big players a chance to protect orders. Retail traders place orders outside of these areas "support and resistance areas" These orders can easily be seen, and therefore hunted. The highs and lows create areas for the big players to exit the large volume positions as every buy order needs a seller and vice versa. I hope this information has been helpful. As always trade safe. EnvisionEJ

Example of Shorting SPY w PSI and comparison w RSIThis is an example of Shorting SPY at the High and a comparison of RSI and Price Strength Index (PSI). AMEX:SPY made a great upside move towards 450 and then 453 on a valid strong move after a bounce of higher Low. Then, it made a pullback to 450 and made a retest of 453 to go higher. Price action w PSI analysis On 4H chart, at the second test of 453, buyer is significantly weaker because it did not even break or test previous High of the PSI 4H. PSI 4H had already shown obvious divergence even before the retest of 453, and when it retest 453 and failed, this give confidence to Short. Now on Daily, at the second test to 453, PSI shows that the move is not even strong at all. It actually made a lower High on PSI, now confirms the divergence shown on lower time frame 4h. This gives another confidence boost to Short. With these confluence, this gives a good confidence to Short. Price action w RSI analysis On 4H chart, the RSI 4H appears to look good for a push to break that 453 and go into overbought level. Even at the retest of 453, while price action shows that rejection (Red Topping Tail candle), RSI however still looks somewhat okay because it still holding on above 60 and near to previous Low. On the Daily, RSI is showing that it is still in the direction of the trend to push higher. To conclude, this is not looking clear, there is a difference of information on 4H and Daily. While RSI on 4H does indeed shows some weakness, RSI on Daily still going strong on uptrend. This does not gives confidence to Short. PSI vs RSI While both are useful, PSI do appear to have better clarity of strength/momentum in comparison to RSI.

Your Strength Meter For Candlestick | Best Momentum Indicator 🕯 Hey traders, There are multiple different ways to measure the strength of the market reversal from a key level: ✔️some traders apply volumes and look for its sudden spike as a confirmation, ✔️some traders rely on some indicators and look for a particular trigger there as the signal, ✔️some traders, like me, follow the candlesticks and make their judgments based on the candle's strength. In this article, I prepared for you a candlestick strength meter that will help you to accurately spot the reversal clues. ❗️Remember about the important precondition: that candlestick meter is reliable being applied ONLY on key levels. Trading that outside key levels is not recommendable. 📈The initial touch of a key level is very telling: after a sharp bullish/bearish rally to key resistance/support the reaction of the price on that can indicate you the strength of the identified level. There are three main classifications of the reversal candle momentum: *by reversal candle we mean the first bullish candle on key support or the first bearish candle on key resistance. 1️⃣The momentum will be considered to be low in case if the reversal candle will close within the range of the previous candle. It indicates the weakness of bulls buying from support / bears selling from resistance. You should patiently WAIT for some other signal before you open the trade. 2️⃣The momentum will be considered to be medium in case if the reversal candle will engulf the range of the previous candle. It shows quite a strong initial reaction being sufficient to open the trade ONLY in a strict combination with some other signal. 3️⃣The momentum will be considered to be high in case if the reversal candle engulfs the range of the last two candles (two bearish or two bullish). By itself, it is considered to be a strong reversal signal. The trading position can be opened just based on such a candle. Among the dozens of different candlestick pattern formations, I believe that momentum candles are one of the most reliable in spotting the market reversal. Learn to spot these candles and you will be surprised how accurate they are. What candlestick pattern formations do you want to learn in the next post?🤓 ❤️Please, support my work with like and comment!❤️

Candlestick Chart Part 2 : ReversalsHello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :) _________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________ Today's video will be about the Candlestick Chart : Reversal Patterns. So lets start by talking about the different types of Patterns : Bullish Reversal Patterns Bearish Reversal Patterns And they are divided into 3 groups : Weak Patterns Reliable Patterns Strong Patterns We Start with the Weak Reversals : 1) Dragonfly Pattern : A dragonfly doji candlestick is a candlestick pattern with the open, close, and high prices of an asset at the same level. A dragonfly doji pattern does not appear constantly. It is used as a technical indicator that signals a potential reversal of the asset’s price. 2) Hammer & Hanging Man Patterns : The Hammer is a bullish reversal pattern that forms during a downtrend. It is named because the market is hammering out a bottom. When the price is falling, hammers signal that the bottom is near and the price will start rising again. The long lower shadow indicates that sellers pushed prices lower, but buyers were able to overcome this selling pressure and closed near the open. The Hanging Man is a bearish reversal pattern that can also mark a top or strong resistance level. When the price is rising, the formation of a Hanging Man indicates that sellers are beginning to outnumber buyers. The long lower shadow shows that sellers pushed prices lower during the session. Buyers were able to push the price back up some but only near the open. 3) Inverted Hammer & Shooting Star Patterns : The Inverted Hammer occurs when the price has been falling suggests the possibility of a reversal. Its long upper shadow shows that buyers tried to bid the price higher. However, sellers saw what the buyers were doing, said "No!" and attempted to push the price back down. The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal pattern that looks identical to the inverted hammer but occurs when the price has been rising. Its shape indicates that the price opened at its low, rallied, but pulled back to the bottom. 4) Dark Cloud Pattern : A 2-candle pattern. The first candle is bullish and has a long body. The second candlestick should open significantly above the first one’s closing level and close below 50% of the first candlestick’s body. The sell signal is moderately strong. 5) Piercing Pattern : A 2-candle pattern. The first candlestick is long and bearish. The second candlestick opens with a gap down, below the closing level of the first one. It’s a big bullish candlestick, which closes above the 50% of the first candle’s body. Both bodies should be long enough. 6) Upside Gap Three Method : The upside gap three methods candlestick pattern is a bearish continuation pattern that only occurs during an uptrend. It consists of three candles. The first two candles are long and white in the direction of the prevailing trend. The second black candle creates an upside gap. The third candle fills the gap between the first and the second candle. 7) Downside Gap Three Method : The downside gap three methods candlestick pattern appears during a downtrend and consists of three candles. The first two candles have a gap down between them while the third candle covers the gap between the first two. The gap between the first two candles simply gets filled. 8) Bearish Harami Pattern : A 2-candle pattern. The body of the second candle is completely contained within the body of the first one and has the opposite color. 9) Bullish Herami Pattern : A 2-candle pattern. The body of the second candle is completely contained within the body of the first one and has the opposite color. Now Lets Talk about the Reliable Reversals : 1) Bullish Engulfing Pattern : A 2-candle pattern appears at the end of the downtrend. The first candlestick is bearish. The second candle should open below the low of the first candlestick low and close above its high. 2) Bearish Engulfing Pattern : A 2-candle pattern. The first candlestick is bullish. The second candlestick is bearish and should open above the first candlestick’s high and close below its low. 3) Tower Top Pattern : The tower top is a reversal pattern that occurs at high price levels. Typically one or more long bullish candlesticks are followed by a few smaller real body candlesticks and then the pattern is completed with one or more large bearish candlesticks. 4) Tower Bottom Pattern : The tower bottom is a reversal pattern that occurs at low price levels. There is one or more long bearish candlesticks followed by a few smaller body candlesticks and then concluded with one or more large bullish candlesticks. 5) Bullish Abandoned Baby Pattern : The bullish abandoned baby is a pattern that appears at the end of a downtrend and signals reversal to an uptrend. Simply put, it signals an end of the selling pressure of the bears and return of the bulls in the market. This pattern consists of three candlesticks: the first candle has a black (or red) big body, the second is a small and bearish candle – or a Doji, and the third is white (or green) candle. 6) Bearish Abandoned Baby Pattern : The bearish abandoned baby is a reversal pattern that forms during an uptrend. It is characterized by three candles, where the first candle is long bodied and white/green. The second candle is a Doji that gaps above the close of the first bar in the series. The third candle opens below the close of the second bar and is long bodied and black/red. 7) Dumpling Top Pattern : A dumpling top occurs when small real body candlesticks slowly rise and then move in a neutral to downward direction. The dumpling top pattern is complete when there is a bearish candlestick that gaps down from the other candlesticks. 8) Fry Pan Bottom Pattern : The opposite of the dumpling top is the fry pan bottom pattern. The fry pan bottom occurs when small real body candlesticks slowly move downward and then move in a neutral to upward direction. The fry pan bottom pattern is complete when a bullish candlestick gaps up from the rest of the candlesticks. 9) Bullish Belt Hold Pattern : A bullish belt hold shows up in downtrends. The pattern can be recognized by one long, full-bodied candlestick that is bullish and opens at a new recent low. The bullish belt hold candle is expected to have a flat or nearly flat bottom. The top has a small shadow, relative to the length of the body. 10) Bearish Belt Hold Pattern : The bearish belt hold is the complete opposite and it comes up in uptrends. To detect it, look for a long full-bodied, bearish candlestick that stands out at the top of an uptrend because it will get to a new recent high and it should be noticeably longer than the other candles. 11) Tweezer Top Pattern : The Tweezer Top pattern is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that is formed at the end of an uptrend. It consists of two candlesticks, the first one being bullish and the second one being bearish candlestick. Both the tweezer candlestick make almost or the same high. 12) Tweezers Bottom Pattern : The Tweezer Bottom candlestick pattern is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that is formed at the end of the downtrend. It consists of two candlesticks, the first one being bearish and the second one being bullish candlestick. Both the candlesticks make almost or the same low. And Last but not least The Strong Reversal Patterns : 1) Three White Soldiers Pattern : A 3-candle pattern. There’s a series of 3 bullish candles with long bodies. Each candle should open within the previous body, better above its middle. Each candle closes at a new high, near its maximum. The reliability of this pattern is very high, but still, a confirmation in the form of a white candlestick with a higher close or a gap-up is suggested. 2) Three Black Crows Pattern : A 3-candlestick pattern. There’s a series of 3 bearish candles with long bodies. Each candle opens within the body of the previous one, better below its middle. Each candle closes at a new low, near its minimum. The reliability of this pattern is very high, but still, a confirmation in the form of a bearish candlestick with a lower close or a gap-down is suggested. 3) Morning Star Pattern : A 3-candle pattern. After a long bearish candle, there’s a bearish gap down. The bears are in control, but they don’t achieve much. The second candle is quite small and its color is not important, although it’s better if it’s bullish. The third bullish candle opens with a gap up and fills the previous bearish gap. This candle is often longer than the first one. 4) Evening Star Pattern : A 3-candle pattern. After a long bullish candlestick, there’s a bullish gap up. The bulls are in control, but they don’t achieve much. The second candlestick is quite small and its color is not important. The third bearish candle opens with a gap down and fills the previous bullish gap. This candle is often longer than the first one. 5) Bullish Three Line Strike Pattern : A bullish three-line strike is made up of four candles. Of these, the first three are bullish, while the last is bearish. It is made up of three strong bullish candles that progressively end higher followed by a final strike candle. The strike candlestick is bearish and begins at or higher than the third candle but closes at least lower than the open of the first candle. 6) Bearish Three Line Strike Pattern : A bearish three-line strike is a four candle continuation pattern that comes up in a bearish trend. The first three candles are bearish, while the last candle is positive and ends above the highest close of the previous three candles. I Do wanna mention General Reversal Patterns : Three Mountains is the same as Triple Top Pattern Three Rivers is the same as Inverted Triple Top Pattern Buddha Top is the same as Head and Shoulders Pattern Inverted Buddha is the Same as Inverted Head and Shoulders Pattern I hope that I was able to help you understand Reversal Patterns in Candlestick Charts better and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.

Elliott Waves 12345 (How To Trade)Elliott Waves (How To Trade): Rules and Guidelines Rule 1: Wave 3 Is Never the Shortest This rule means that Wave 3 is always longer than at least one of the other two waves (Waves 1 or 2). Usually, Wave 3 is longer than both these waves. You should never look for Wave 3 to be shorter than both the other two waves. At times, Wave 3 may end up to be equal in length, but never the shortest. There is no exception to this rule. Rule 2: Wave 4 Should Not Overlap Wave 1 This means the end of Wave 4 should not trade below the peak of Wave 1. This rule cannot be violated in Cash markets. Elliott Wave Corrections Corrections are very hard to master. Most Elliott Traders make money during an impulse pattern and then lose it back during the corrective phase. An impulse pattern consists of five waves. The corrective pattern consists of 3 waves, with the exception of a triangle. An Impulse pattern is always followed by a Corrective pattern. Corrective patterns can be grouped into two different categories: 1) Simple correction 2) Complex correction Note: would stick with only trading impulse waves of a 12345 Elliott wave pattern r/t better profits and correction waves are hard to master.

Point (3): The low in the move down from Point (2) but a failure to make a new lower low(Point 1).

This would have happened within 6 days, yes this can be used on shorter time-frames, but I would not go lower then 15 minutes or 1 hour using this strategy. I used the Fib Extension tool for profit areas when using this strategy to set targets. 127.20% extension target looks great for most profits, like this chart.
