#TrumpTariffs How to Read Candles Like Whales – Not Like the Herd
Most traders chase price movement — buying on green candles and selling on red. But whales, the big players, read candles differently. They don’t react to colour — they read intention.
Here’s how to read candles like a whale:
1. The Tail Speaks Louder Than the Body
A long lower tail means rejection of lower prices – whales may be accumulating.
A long upper tail shows rejection of higher prices – often a sign of distribution.
🔑 Whales focus on rejection, not just colour. The tail shows what the market tried — and failed — to do.
2. Volume Tells the Real Story
Candles mean nothing without context. Ask:
"How much volume does this candle have?"
A big red candle with low volume = fake selling pressure.
A small green candle with high volume = smart accumulation.
3. Context is King
Don’t isolate a candle. Look at what came before and after.
A green candle after a downtrend? Possible reversal.
A green candle after several greens? Might be a trap.

🧠 Think Like a Whale:
Before every trade, ask yourself:
"Where would I accumulate if I had millions? Where would I trap the crowd?"

📌 Exercise:
Open a 4-hour chart of any coin. Look for:
Candles with long tails
Unusual volume spikes
Explosive candles after calm periods
These are the whales’ fingerprints.
