Every candle has its story. A candle on the chart is not just a simple visualization of the opening and closing price – it is an imprint of price action that often reflects the entire market story.
For example, one daily (D1) candle can contain an entire sequence of events on a lower timeframe (e.g. M15) that correspond to individual phases.
• Accumulation → movement in a narrow range (consolidation), often near the opening price of the candle. • Manipulation → a sharp movement in the opposite direction (creating a wick) aimed at activating Stop Losses.
