🚨 CANDLESTICK MASTERY: Read The Market (No More LOSES)

Listen up, traders. If you're still entering trades based on gut feeling, you're playing with fire. The market speaks through candles—here's how to decode them properly.

🔨 The Hammer (Bullish Reversal)

Looks Like: Small body, long lower wick (3x body length)

Where It Works: Bottom of downtrends

Psychology: Sellers got exhausted, buyers stepped in

🚦 Confirmation Needed: Next candle MUST close green

Trade It Right:
✔ Wait for volume spike
✔ Enter above hammer's high
❌ Don't buy the hammer alone

🦅 Inverted Hammer (Early Bull Signal)

Looks Like: Small body, long upper wick

Where It Works: After extended declines

Key Insight: Buyers testing waters—needs follow-through

💡 Pro Tip: Works best with oversold RSI

☠️ Hanging Man (Bearish Warning)

Looks Like: Small body, long lower wick

Where It Works: Top of uptrends

Red Flag: Shows distribution despite higher close

Action: Tighten stops or take partial profits

💫 Shooting Star (Trend Exhaustion)

Looks Like: Small body near low, long upper wick

Where It Works: After parabolic rises

Critical: Requires bearish confirmation candle

📉 Short Setup: Enter below shooting star's low

⚰️ Gravestone Doji (Ultimate Rejection)

Looks Like: No body, long upper wick

Market Message: "We rejected these prices hard"

Best Combo: Appears at resistance with low volume

🔄 Spinning Tops (Indecision Signals)

Bullish Version: After downtrends = potential reversal

Bearish Version: After uptrends = weakness ahead

📌 Golden Rule: Never trade spinning tops alone—wait for confirmation

🚨 MUST-REMEMBER RULES

Single candles lie—context doesn't (check trend first)

Volume confirms everything (no volume = no conviction)

Support/resistance > patterns (better entries at key levels)

Always use stop-losses (patterns fail often)
