🕯️ DAY 20/30: Candlestick Patterns - The Language of Price
Before the complex indicators, there are candlesticks. Today we decipher 3 basic patterns that are the cornerstone of analysis.
📖 WHAT DOES A CANDLE SAY?
Each candle tells a small battle between buyers (bulls) and sellers (bears) over a period of time.
🎯 3 BASIC PATTERNS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Hammer - BULLISH Signal:
· Looks like: Small body on top, long shadow below.
· Means: Strong selling pressure during the session, but buyers managed to regain ground at the close. It is a signal of strength after a decline.
2. Hanging Man - BEARISH Signal:
· Looks like: Same shape as the hammer, but appears after a rise.
· Means: Buyers are exhausted. Sellers begin to show strength. Possible reversal to the downside.
3. Doji - INDECISION:
· Looks like: Opening and closing almost at the same level. Looks like a cross or a plus sign (+).
· Means: Total tie between buyers and sellers. The market pauses to decide its next move. It often precedes a change.
⚠️ CRUCIAL WARNING:
These patterns are NOT magical. Their power lies in the context:
· A Hammer on a strong support is a much more reliable signal.
· A Doji at a key resistance increases the probability of reversal.
💡 Conclusion: Learning to read candles is like learning the market's alphabet. It is the first step to writing your own strategy.
