😭 "When I buy, the market drops... and when I sell, the market rises!" - Here's how to fix it 💯
I know that feeling - you enter a trade, and the market immediately turns against you. It feels almost personal, as if someone is watching your orders and doing the opposite. But trust me, it's not bad luck, it's bad timing.
Most traders buy at resistance and sell at support without realizing it. Instead of reacting emotionally to price movements, you should anticipate trend reversals before they happen.
5 Strong Candle Patterns to Spot Trend Reversals (4-Hour Time Frame)
1️⃣ Engulfing Candle (Bullish/Bearish)
A strong candle that completely engulfs the previous candle.
Bullish: Appears after a downtrend → Indicates a bullish reversal.
Bearish: Appears after an uptrend → Indicates a bearish reversal.
2️⃣ Morning Star / Evening Star
A three-candle pattern showing exhaustion in the trend.
Morning Star: Downtrend ← Small body candle ← Strong bullish candle = Buy signal.
Evening Star: Uptrend ← Small body candle ← Strong bearish candle = Sell signal.
3️⃣ Hammer and Inverted Hammer
Long lower wick, small real body. Indicates buyer entry.
Appears at the end of a downtrend = Bullish reversal.
4️⃣ Shooting Star
Inverted Hammer. Small body, long upper wick.
Appears at the top of an uptrend = Bearish reversal signal.
5️⃣ Doji Candle (Indecision Candle)
Small body, nearly equal opening/closing price.
Indicates uncertainty. If it appears at the end of a trend, watch the next candle for confirmation.
How to avoid buying at high prices and selling at low prices
✔️ Wait for confirmation: The pattern alone is not enough. Follow-up candles are important.
✔️ Check the trading volume: A real trend reversal comes with high trading volume.
✔️ Use support and resistance levels: Don't buy at resistance and don't sell at support.
✔️ Patience is valuable: The best trades come to those who wait for the right signals.
