Japanese candlesticks are an essential tool for analyzing price movements in financial markets, providing a visual representation of price movement over a period of time. Each candle represents the relationship between the opening price, the high price, the low price, and the closing price. Japanese candlestick patterns can be divided into two main types: reversal patterns and continuation patterns. ✅
First: Reflective patterns
Reversal patterns indicate the possibility of a change in the current trend (from bullish to bearish or vice versa). The most prominent of these are:
1. Hammer candle
• Description: Small body and long lower shadow.
• Meaning: It appears at the end of a downtrend and indicates the possibility of a reversal to an upward trend.
2. Inverted Hammer Candlestick
• Description: Small body and long upper shadow.
• Meaning: It appears at the end of a downtrend and hints at a possible uptrend.
3. Hanging Man Candle
• Description: Small body and long lower shadow.
• Meaning: It appears at the end of an upward trend and indicates the possibility of a downward reversal.
4. Evening Star Candle
• Description: Three candles (bullish, doji or small, strong bearish).
• Meaning: A bearish reversal pattern that appears after an uptrend.
5. Morning Star Candle
• Description: Three candles (bearish, doji or small, strong bullish).
• Meaning: A bullish reversal pattern that appears after a downtrend.
6. Engulfing candle
• Description: A large candle that completely covers the body of the previous candle.
• Bullish engulfing: appears after a downtrend and indicates an upward trend.
• Bearish Engulfing: Appears after an uptrend and indicates a downtrend.
7. Doji candle
• Description: The opening and closing price are almost equal.
• Meaning: Indicates market indecision, and may be a signal of a trend reversal if it appears at the end of a strong trend.
Second: Continuity patterns
Continuation patterns indicate the continuation of the current trend. The most prominent of these are:
1. Three White Soldiers Bullish Candlestick
• Description: Three consecutive bullish candles with large bodies.
• Meaning: It appears in an upward trend and confirms its continuation.
2. Three Black Crows Candle
• Description: Three consecutive bearish candles with large bodies.
• Meaning: It appears in a downward trend and confirms its continuation.
Third: Neutral patterns
These patterns indicate indecision in the market, and need confirmation of a certain direction. The most prominent of them are:
1. Shooting Star
• Description: Small body and long upper shadow.
• Meaning: It appears after an upward trend and indicates a possible decline.
2. Spinning Top Candle
• Description: Small body and long shadows.
• Meaning: It indicates hesitation in the market.
How to use Japanese candlestick patterns:
1. General context: You cannot rely on just one pattern. The general trend of the market must be taken into account.
2. Support and resistance areas: Patterns are most effective when they appear in these areas.
3. Confirmation: Wait for confirmation of the pattern with an additional candle or another indicator.
Conclusion:
Candlestick patterns are a powerful tool for analyzing the market and predicting price movements. To understand them in depth, a trader needs to practice and take into account the overall market context. These patterns can be an early indication of market movements, but should be used in conjunction with other analysis tools to minimize risks.
