😭😭"When I buy, the market crashes... When I sell, the market skyrockets!" – Here’s how to fix that
I know the feeling—you enter a trade, and the market immediately turns against you. It almost feels 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 need to anticipate trend changes before they happen.
5 Powerful Candlestick Patterns to Identify Trend Reversals (4H Timeframe)
1️⃣ Engulfing Candle (Bullish/Bearish)
A strong candle that completely engulfs the previous one.
Bullish: Appears after a downtrend → signals a reversal upwards.
Bearish: Appears after an uptrend → signals a reversal downwards.
2️⃣ Morning Star / Evening Star
Three candle pattern showing exhaustion in a 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 & Inverted Hammer
Long lower wick, small real body. Shows buyers coming in.
Appears at the end of a downtrend = bullish reversal.
4️⃣ Shooting Star
The opposite of a hammer. Small body, long upper wick.
Appears at the top of an uptrend = bearish reversal signal.
5️⃣ Doji (Indecision Candle)
Small body, opening/closing price almost equal.
Signals uncertainty. If it appears at the end of a trend, watch the next candle for confirmation.
How to Avoid Buying High & Selling Low
✔️ Wait for Confirmation: A single pattern is not enough. Follow-through candles matter.
✔️ Check the Volume: A true trend change comes with high volume.
✔️ Use Support & Resistance Levels: Don’t buy at resistance or sell at support.
✔️ Patience Pays Off: The best trades come to those who wait for the right signals.
Next time you are about to enter a trade out of FOMO, pause, check the 4H candlestick patterns, and trade with confidence—not emotion.
