Candlestick patterns are visual representations of price movements in financial markets (like crypto, stocks, or forex) that help traders understand market sentiment and make predictions about future price movements.
📊 What is a Candlestick?
Each candlestick shows the price movement for a specific time period (like 1 minute, 15 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, etc.) and is made of 4 key parts:
Open – the price at the start of the time period
Close – the price at the end of the time period
High – the highest price reached during that period
Low – the lowest price during that period
A candlestick has:
Body – area between open and close
Wicks (or shadows) – lines showing the high and low
🟩 Green candle: price closed higher than it opened (bullish)
🟥 Red candle: price closed lower than it opened (bearish)
🧠 What Are Candlestick Patterns?
Candlestick patterns are specific formations made by one or more candles that can signal a potential price move.
They are generally divided into two types:
1. Bullish Patterns (may signal price going up)
Hammer 🔨
Bullish Engulfing
Morning Star
Piercing Pattern
2. Bearish Patterns (may signal price going down)
Shooting Star 🌠
Bearish Engulfing
Evening Star
Dark Cloud Cover
⚠️ Important:Patterns don't guarantee price direction. They're just signals.
Always use with other tools like support/resistance, volume, RSI, etc.

Red candles = price went down (close < open)
Wicks = the thin lines showing the high and low of the day
