Candlestick Patterns

Reading the story in a single candle and small groups.

Candlestick Patterns illustration

A single candle tells you who won the period: bulls (buyers) or bears (sellers). The body shows the range, the wicks show rejection.

Patterns like engulfing, pin bars and inside bars describe momentum shifts. They are context-dependent and are best used at meaningful levels, not in the middle of a chart.

No single pattern is a system. It becomes useful when combined with a level, a trend and a fixed risk.

Draw and review these patterns in your journal. Repetition is how the eye learns them.

Takeaways

  • A candle shows the open-high-low-close and who won the period.
  • Patterns are context-dependent and work best at meaningful levels.
  • No single pattern is a system; combine with levels, trend and fixed risk.

Self-check

Why are candlestick patterns not a system on their own?

They need context (level, trend, risk) to be useful and their signal strength varies.
