How to Interpret Candlestick Patterns

You can analyze the behavior of price movements in candlesticks to find the best trades. However, it can be risky to base your trades on only one candle pattern. This is because you may not get the full picture of the price trend. You should also know how to interpret other candle patterns to make your trades more profitable.

Doji patterns are a good way to identify the market trend. These candlestick patterns have the same open and close as a previous one, and have a small body. This is an indication of indecision in the market. This pattern is a good indicator of a new price direction, so look for it in the chart.

You can identify the bullish and bearish candlestick patterns by studying their colors. Typically, these candles are green or white. The third candle, the hammer candle, is bearish. This candlestick pattern is found on every price chart. The pattern will be accompanied by another small body candlestick that is bearish. The pattern will change direction after the third candle, and you can trade on it. To make sure you’re making the right decisions, you should learn how to analyze candlestick patterns.

Another example of a bearish engulfing candlestick pattern is the inverse head and shoulders. This pattern may look like a consolidation pattern, but it is really a reversal of a trend from lower to higher. It forms when prices reach a new low and then rally. Then a short relief rally occurs to retrace a small portion of the downtrend. Then another trend forms a head, which pushes below the low of the left shoulder. Then, the rally stalls near the first relief rally.
