To identify a resistance level using Japanese candlesticks, follow these steps:
---
1. Observe previous peaks:
Look for a price level that the price has reached multiple times and has not been able to break through upwards. This level is considered a resistance area.
Practical example:
If the price rises to 1.500 three times and then falls, the level 1.500 is resistance.

2. Note the shape of the candles at the peaks:
Candles with long upper wicks indicate that the price attempted to rise but was rejected by the market, which is a sign of resistance.
Doji candles or bearish engulfing candles at the peaks also indicate the beginning of a downward reversal from a resistance area.
3. Use the appropriate time frame:
Resistances are more reliable in larger time frames (1 hour, 4 hours, daily).
However, smaller time frames can be used to determine precise entry and exit points.
