Candles show the open, high, low, and close for a chosen interval. A pattern can help describe pressure between buyers and sellers, but it is a clue rather than a promise. Context, volume, trend, and support or resistance matter.
Doji
Indecision
The open and close are very close together, leaving a small body and often visible wicks. A Doji says the market ended the interval without a clear winner.
How to use it: Look at the candles before and after it. After a strong run, confirmation can warn that momentum is slowing; in a range, it may simply show normal hesitation.
Hammer
Potentially bullish
A small body near the top with a long lower wick. Sellers pushed price down, but buyers recovered much of the move before the candle closed.
How to use it: It is more meaningful after a decline and near a level buyers have defended. A bullish follow-through candle is stronger evidence than the Hammer alone.
Hanging Man
Potentially bearish
It looks like a Hammer, but it appears after an advance. The long lower wick shows that sellers were able to push into the market during the session.
How to use it: Treat the surrounding trend as essential. A close below the pattern or a later bearish candle gives the warning more weight.
Shooting Star
Potentially bearish
A small body near the bottom with a long upper wick. Buyers pushed higher, but sellers rejected those prices before the close.
How to use it: Look for it after a rally and wait for confirmation. It can mark profit-taking, but it is not a short signal by itself.
Bullish Engulfing
Potentially bullish
A bearish candle is followed by a larger bullish candle whose body covers the previous body. It shows buyers taking control during the second interval.
How to use it: It has more value after a decline or at support. Check volume and whether the next candle holds above the engulfing body.
Bearish Engulfing
Potentially bearish
A bullish candle is followed by a larger bearish candle that covers the previous body. The second candle shows sellers overwhelming the earlier buying.
How to use it: It is worth watching after a rally or near resistance, especially when volume expands and the next candle confirms weakness.
Piercing Line
Potentially bullish
A bearish candle is followed by a bullish candle that opens lower and closes above the midpoint of the previous body.
How to use it: It can show buyers returning after a decline. The pattern is stronger near support and weaker when it appears in a noisy sideways market.
Dark Cloud Cover
Potentially bearish
A bullish candle is followed by a bearish candle that opens higher and closes below the midpoint of the first body.
How to use it: It is a warning that a rally may be losing strength. Resistance, volume, and a later lower close help confirm the signal.
Morning Star
Potentially bullish
A three-candle reversal pattern: a bearish candle, a small middle candle, and a bullish candle that closes well into the first body.
How to use it: It is designed to describe a possible shift after a decline. Wait for the third candle to close and compare the move with support and volume.
Evening Star
Potentially bearish
A three-candle reversal pattern: a bullish candle, a small middle candle, and a bearish candle that closes back into the first body.
How to use it: It can warn that an advance is tiring. Confirmation and nearby resistance matter more than the name of the pattern.
