🕯️ Master Japanese Candlesticks: The Silent Language of Trading
Did you know that each candle on a chart is like a small story of the market? 📈 If you're starting in the world of trading, learning to read Japanese candlesticks can be the first step to stop guessing and start making informed decisions.
📊 What is a Japanese candle?
A candle represents the price movement of an asset over a time interval (for example, 1 hour, 1 day). Each candle shows you 4 key data points:
• Open
• High
• Low
• Close
📍 The body shows whether the price went up or down.
📍 The wicks or “shadows” reveal volatility.
🔍 How to interpret a candle:
• 🟩 Green candle (bullish): the price closed higher than it opened. Buyers were in control!
• 🟥 Red candle (bearish): the price closed lower. Sellers took control.
• 🔥 Candles with long wicks: indicate indecision or possible reversals.
