Engulfing This is my all time favorite candlestick pattern. This pattern consists of two candles. The first day is a narrow range candle that closes down for the day. The sellers are still in control of the stock but because it is a narrow range candle and volatility is low, the sellers are not very aggressive.
The second day is a wide range candle that 'engulfs' the body of the first candle and closes near the top of the range. The buyers have overwhelmed the sellers (demand is greater than supply). Buyers are ready to take control of this stock! Hammer As discussed on the previous page, the stock opened, then at some point the sellers took control of the stock and pushed it lower.
By the end of the day, the buyers won and had enough strength to close the stock at the top of the range. Hammers can develop after a cluster of stop loss orders are hit.
That's when professional traders come in to grab shares at a lower price. Harami When you see this pattern the first thing that comes to mind is that the momentum preceding it has stopped. On the first day you see a wide range candle that closes near the bottom of the range. The sellers are still in control of this stock.
Menvier Conventional Fire Panels How To Hide. Then on the second day, there is only a narrow range candle that closes up for the day. Note: Do not confuse this pattern with the engulfing pattern. The candles are opposite! Piercing This is also a two-candle reversal pattern where on the first day you see a wide range candle that closes near the bottom of the range. The sellers are in control. On the second day you see a wide range candle that has to close at least halfway into the prior candle. Those that shorted the stock on first day are now sitting at a loss on the rally that happens on the second day.
This can set up a powerful reversal. Doji The doji is probably the most popular candlestick pattern. The stock opens up and goes nowhere throughout the day and closes right at or near the opening price. Quite simply, it represents indecision and causes traders to question the current trend. This can often trigger reversals in the opposite direction.. Bearish candlestick patterns You'll notice that all of these bearish patterns are the opposite of the bullish patterns. These patterns come after a rally and signify a possible reversal just like the bullish patterns.
Ok, now it's your turn! I'll let you figure out what is happening in each of the patterns above to cause these to be considered bearish. Look at each candle and try to get into the minds of the traders involved in the candle. Kickers There is one more pattern worthy of mention. A 'kicker' is sometimes referred to as the most powerful candlestick pattern of all. You can see in the above graphic why this pattern is so explosive.
Like most candle patterns there is a bullish and bearish version. In the bullish version, the stock is moving down and the last red candle closes at the bottom of the range.
Then, on the next day, the stock gaps open above the previous days high and close. This 'shock event' forces short sellers to cover and brings in new traders on the long side. This is reversed in the bearish version. Should you wait for confirmation? Most traders are taught to 'wait for confirmation' with candlestick patterns. This means that they are supposed to wait until the following day to see if the stock reverses afterward.
