🕯️ Master Japanese Candlesticks: The Silent Language of Trading

Did you know that each candle on a chart is like a small story of the market? 📈 If you're starting in the world of trading, learning to read Japanese candlesticks can be the first step to stop guessing and start making informed decisions.

📊 What is a Japanese candle?

A candle represents the price movement of an asset over a time interval (for example, 1 hour, 1 day). Each candle shows you 4 key data points:

• Open

• High

• Low

• Close

📍 The body shows whether the price went up or down.

📍 The wicks or “shadows” reveal volatility.

🔍 How to interpret a candle:

• 🟩 Green candle (bullish): the price closed higher than it opened. Buyers were in control!

• 🟥 Red candle (bearish): the price closed lower. Sellers took control.

• 🔥 Candles with long wicks: indicate indecision or possible reversals.
