Welcome back, trader.

If you saw Lesson 1, you now understand the foundation. Today, we enter the mind of the market.

This is Lesson 2 — The Candlestick Code.

It’s not just about colors and shapes. Each candle tells a story — of fear, greed, pressure, and breakout tension.

If you learn to read these signs, you’ll never enter a blind trade again.

Why Candlesticks Matter

Candlesticks are the language of price action.

They’re used by hedge funds, bots, and pro traders. And yes — even Binance whales look at them before placing big orders.

3 Types of Candles You Must Know:

1. Bullish Candles (Buyers in Control)

Marubozu: No wick — pure buying strength.

Bullish Engulfing: A green candle swallows the red one before it. Big sign of reversal.

Hammer: Long wick below, small body — price was pushed down, but buyers fought back.

2. Bearish Candles (Sellers Taking Over)

Bearish Engulfing: Red candle eats the green one before — trend might reverse.

Shooting Star: Long wick above — price went up but got rejected.

Hanging Man: Looks like a hammer, but at the top. Dangerous if ignored.

3. Indecision Candles (Calm Before the Storm)

Doji: Open and close are the same. The market is confused.

Spinning Top: Small body, long wicks both sides. Expect volatility next.

What Smart Traders Do

Smart traders combine candle signals with support/resistance and volume.

A hammer at strong support?

That’s where money is made.

A doji after a strong rally?

Get ready for a potential drop.
