Learn to Read Candlestick Strength | Trading Basics Hey traders, In this educational article, we will discuss how to objectively measure the market momentum with candlesticks. Please, note that the concepts that will be covered in this article can be applied on any time frame, however, higher is the time frame, more trustworthy are the candles. Also, remember, that each individual candle is assessed in relation to other candles on the chart. There are three types of candles depending on its direction: 🟢Bullish candle Such a candle has a closing price higher than the opening price. 🔴Bearish candle Such a candle has a closing price lower than the opening price. 🟡Neutral candle Such a candle has equal or close to equal opening and closing price. There are three categories of the strength of the candle. Please, note, the measurement of the strength of the candle is applicable only to bullish/bearish candles. Neutral candle has no strength by definition. It signifies the absolute equilibrium between buyers and sellers. 1️⃣Strong candle Strong bullish candle signifies strong buying volumes and dominance of buyers without sellers resistance. Strong bearish candle means significant selling volumes and high bearish pressure without buyers resistance. Usually, a strong bullish/bearish candle has a relatively big body and tiny wicks. 2️⃣Medium candle Medium bullish candle signifies a dominance of buyers with a rising resistance of sellers. Medium bearish candle means a prevailing strength of sellers with a growing pressure of bulls. Usually, a medium bullish/bearish candle has its range (based on a wick) 2 times bigger than the body of the candle. 3️⃣Weak candle Weak bullish candle signifies the exhaustion of buyers and a substantial resistance of sellers. Weak bearish candle signifies the exhaustion of sellers and a considerable bullish pressure. Usually, such a candle has a relatively small body and a big wick. Knowing how to read the strength of the candlestick, one can quite accurately spot the initiate of new waves, market reversals and consolidations. Watch how the price acts, follow the candlesticks and try to spot the change of momentum by yourself. ❤️If you have any questions, please, ask me in the comment section.

Murderous Intent on GBPAUDI have a murderous intent on the GBPAUD, it is not because of revenge trade, heck, I don't even have any recent losing trades, and I've been trading for some time so I don't do that, but that is because I spotted something that many traders have missed out. RSI Divergence on both the Daily Chart and 1-hourly chart. To top it up, on the Weekly Chart, the GBPAUD is on the Key Resistance Level. As usual, there are a few ways to engage the trade, but I'm waiting for the candlestick pattern to retest 1.8214 for a shorting opportunity, so that it gives me a better Profit Factor.

AUDUSD - The Devil's TouchSince the analysis is unchanged, I won't be posting on the daily chart; check the link below and see how nicely the candlestick "respected" The Devil's Finger as it reversed on the trendline once touching it. That is the primary engagement method I will execute in my trade plan. On the lower timeframe trading setup, you can wait for a break and close below 0.6673 for a breakout trading setup; you have to be aware there are a few road bumps along the road(bearish move) 0.6637, 0.6583. etc. If you shift stops to entry too early, your trade will close out without profits.

EURUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Dec22,Wk3EURUSD is on a Bullish Trend. However, I am waiting for a counter-trend trading approach. I've two ways of engaging the trade. The first way is to wait for candlestick confirmation and take the trade based on the Weekly Chart's Key Resistance Level in combination with a Bearish Crab Patterns trading setup, a more aggressive approach is to wait for a break and close below the trendline on the 4-hourly chart to engage the trade. So let me know if you need the analysis on this.

SPX: We nailed another TARGET! What's next?• The index hit our target at 4,083, as it behaved exactly as we expected yesterday, but it seems it is losing strength now. The link to my previous analysis is below this post, as usual. • So far, it is doing a Shooting Star candlestick pattern. Considering it is just under a key resistance, this might be a top sign. • The trend is still clearly bullish, and any pullback to the 21 ema, or even to the 3,974 is acceptable, and would just be an opportunity to buy. • Only if the index drops below this dual-support area made by the 21 ema - 3974 it would frustrate this bullish sentiment. As long as it stays above it, the bullish bias will persist. • What if it breaks the 4,100? Then the 4,200 will be the next resistance to work with. I’ll keep you updated on this. Remember to follow me to keep in touch with my daily analyses!
