Reading Candles
🟢 Bullish Signals
  • Large green body — buyers dominated; the larger the body vs wicks, the stronger.
  • Long lower wick — buyers rejected lower prices. One of the most reliable bull signals.
  • Small / no upper wick — sellers couldn't push price down from the close.
  • Hammer — small body at the top, long lower wick (2x+ body).
🔴 Bearish Signals
  • Large red body — sellers dominated; bigger body = more aggressive selling.
  • Long upper wick — sellers rejected higher prices. Warns of potential reversal.
  • Small / no lower wick — buyers couldn't push price up from the low.
  • Shooting star — small body at the bottom, long upper wick (2x+ body).
💡 Key Takeaways
  • Body size = conviction. Large bodies mean one side dominated; tiny bodies (dojis) = indecision.
  • Wicks = rejection. Long wicks show where the market said "no" to a price level.
  • Context matters. A hammer at support is more meaningful than one mid-range.
  • Volume confirms. Big candle on big volume > same candle on thin volume.
  • Never trade one candle alone. Combine with S/R, trend, volume.
