😭 "When I Buy, the Market Drops... When I Sell, the Market Pumps!" – Here’s How to Fix It 💯

I know the feeling—you enter a trade, and the market instantly turns against you. It almost feels personal, like someone’s 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 to price moves emotionally, you need to anticipate trend shifts before they happen.

5 Powerful Candlestick Patterns to Spot Trend Reversals (4H Timeframe)

1️⃣ Engulfing Candle (Bullish/Bearish)

A strong candle that completely engulfs the previous one.

Bullish: Appears after a downtrend → signals reversal upward.

Bearish: Appears after an uptrend → signals reversal downward.

2️⃣ Morning Star / Evening Star

Three-candle pattern showing exhaustion in a trend.

Morning Star: Downtrend → small-bodied candle → strong bullish candle = BUY signal.

Evening Star: Uptrend → small-bodied candle → strong bearish candle = SELL signal.

3️⃣ Hammer & Inverted Hammer

Long lower wick, small real body. Shows buyers stepping in.

Appears at the end of a downtrend = bullish reversal.

4️⃣ Shooting Star

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, almost equal open/close price.

Signals uncertainty. If it appears at the end of a trend, watch for the next candle for confirmation.

How to Avoid Buying High & Selling Low

✔️ Wait for Confirmation: A pattern alone isn’t enough. Follow-through candles matter.

✔️ Check Volume: A real trend shift comes with high volume.

✔️ Use Support & Resistance Levels: Don’t buy into resistance or sell into support.

✔️ Patience Pays: The best trades come to those who wait for the right signals.

Next time you’re about to FOMO into a trade, pause, check the 4H candlestick patterns, and trade with confidence—not emotion.
