Since then, candlestick patterns have become the most important analysis method of modern price action.<\/p>\n A candlestick is simple but hidden in it is a lot of useful information. The upper and lower part of a candlestick (called shadow or wick) will show us the selling and buying forces. Meanwhile, the real body shows the current market sentiment.<\/p>\n In the simplest terms, if the candlestick closes higher than the previous one, the market is bullish. Otherwise, it is bearish.<\/p>\n If the closing price is equal to the opening price (almost no real body), the psychology of the bulls and bears are in equilibrium for the time being. This candlestick is called a Doji<\/a>.<\/p>\n The distance between the top and the trough of a candlestick shows the volatility during that trading session. Therefore, the longer the candlestick, the more volatile the market is. It shows us that the war between Bulls (buyers) and Bears (sells) is taking place extremely tense and fierce.<\/p>\n If you understand the story that a candlestick wants to tell, then you could also understand the story of the market.<\/p>\n To understand the market, reading one candlestick is still not enough. Traders must know how to read each candle and then put the pieces together into a story. That’s called bar by bar analysis.<\/p>\n When looking at a cluster of candles on the chart, experienced traders will immediately see the story they want to tell. A battle between the Bulls and the Bears is clearly shown on the screen. Which side wins or which side loses is fought is described in the most detail. There is no need for technical indicators, as prices and candlesticks themselves are very informative.<\/p>\n You can use it on all markets. Because of its simple nature, only the price and candlesticks are needed as information.<\/p>\n The more liquid the market, the stronger Price Action will be. The candlesticks will also tell you stories with high accuracy to help you easily predict the price shortly.<\/p>\n In Price Action, we often use classical price patterns as a basis for analysis.<\/p>\n You will often encounter simple price patterns such as Double Top, Double Bottom, Head and Shoulders, etc. So you should learn these basic patterns to use them better.<\/p>\n The market does not move randomly. It follows one of three trends including uptrend, downtrend, and sideways. You must understand the trend and the reversal points such as Swing High and Swing Low – to be able to analyze Price Action.<\/p>\n Note: An uptrend is broken when the price breaks down to the nearest Swing Low. A downtrend is broken when the price breaks above the nearest swing high.<\/p>\nPrice Action concept of candlestick pattern<\/h2>\n
