Candlestick Patterns

Candlestick charts are one of the most powerful tools for traders. They help you understand market sentiment and price movements just by looking at a single chart. Mastering candlesticks is essential for anyone serious about trading.

What is a Candlestick?

A candlestick represents a specific time period’s price movement (e.g., 1 minute, 1 hour, 1 day) and gives four key pieces of information:

1. Open Price: The price at which the period started.
2. Close Price: The price at which the period ended.
3. High: The highest price during the period.
4. Low: The lowest price during the period.

Structure of a Candlestick:

  • Body: The filled or hollow portion, representing the open and close prices.

    • - A green/white candle indicates the price closed higher than it opened (bullish).
    - A red/black candle indicates the price closed lower than it opened (bearish).

  • Wicks (Shadows): The lines above and below the body represent the high and low prices.
