šUnderstanding the Long-Legged Doji Pattern in Trading
š **What is a Long-Legged Doji?
The Long-Legged Doji is a type of doji candlestick that shows high market indecision ā a strong tug of war between buyers and sellers.
It looks like a plus sign (+) with long upper and lower wicks, and a tiny or no real body.
šÆļø How the Candle Looks:
ā¢Open and Close prices are almost the same (tiny body).
ā¢Long upper and lower shadows (wicks).
ā¢Price moved up and down a lot, but closed almost where it started.
š¤ What It Tells You:
ā¢Market was very volatile ā buyers and sellers both tried to take control.
ā¢But neither side won, so the price closed near where it opened.
ā¢It means uncertainty, and a possible trend reversal could be near.
š or š When It Appears:
ā¢In an uptrend ā could signal a potential reversal downward.
ā¢In a downtrend ā could signal a potential reversal upward.
ā¢In sideways markets ā shows the market is unsure or waiting.
ā
Beginner Tips:
ā¢Always wait for confirmation with the next candle (green = bullish, red = bearish).
ā¢Best used with support/resistance levels or trendlines.
ā¢Use in combination with RSI, MACD, or volume indicators for better signals.
š Simple Example:
ā¢Imagine Solana is moving up.
Then one day:
ā¢It opens at $40, jumps to $45, drops to $38, then closes at $40 again.
ā¢Thatās a Long-Legged Doji ā lots of movement, but no direction. It tells you to be cautious ā the trend might be about to change.
