📊 Candlestick CheatsheetCandlestick charts are commonly used in trading to analyze market trends and make trading decisions. Candlesticks can be categorized as bullish or bearish, depending on whether the price has increased or decreased over a given period. It is important to note that while candlestick patterns can be useful in predicting market movements, they should not be used in isolation, and other indicators and analysis should also be considered. It is also important to have a clear understanding of the market and its underlying fundamentals before making any trading decisions. 🔹 Rails The rails pattern is a two-candlestick pattern that typically occurs during a downtrend. The first candle is a long red candle, followed by a long green candle that opens below the previous day's close but closes above it, creating a rail-like pattern. 🔹 Three White Soldiers The three white soldiers pattern is a bullish pattern that consists of three consecutive long green candles with small or no wicks. It typically occurs after a downtrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Three Black Crows The three black crows pattern is a bearish pattern that consists of three consecutive long red candles with small or no wicks. It typically occurs after an uptrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Mat Hold The mat hold pattern is a five-candlestick pattern that occurs during a bullish trend. It consists of a long green candle, followed by three small candles with lower highs and higher lows, and ending with another long green candle. 🔹 Pinbar The pinbar pattern is a single candlestick pattern that has a long tail or wick and a small body. The tail should be at least two times the length of the body. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Engulfing The engulfing pattern is a two-candlestick pattern that occurs when the second candle's body completely engulfs the previous candle's body. A bullish engulfing pattern occurs during a downtrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction, while a bearish engulfing pattern occurs during an uptrend and suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Morning Star The morning star pattern is a three-candlestick pattern that typically occurs after a downtrend. It consists of a long red candle, a small candle, and a long green candle, with the small candle gapping down from the previous day's close. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 🔹 Evening Star The evening star pattern is the opposite of the morning star pattern and typically occurs after an uptrend. It consists of a long green candle, a small candle, and a long red candle, with the small candle gapping up from the previous day's close. The pattern suggests a reversal in the market's direction. 👤 @algobuddy 📅 Daily Ideas about market update, psychology & indicators ❤️ If you appreciate our work, please like, comment and follow ❤️

CAT Short - Caterpillar, Inc. - The Double Top DropNYSE:CAT Short - Caterpillar, Inc. - The Double Top Drop This short biased thesis is based on the following factors: A double top that was recently formed and confirmed A Bearish Three Black Crows candle stick pattern followed the second top (of the double top) A large series of dark pool prints totaling around $882M came in on June 25th, all around the $216.31 price level. Although we do not know the nature of this trade, we are currently trading under this level and continued downside price action will further increased the probability that this trade was a sell. Possible Threats: The $212.62 fib defined level may show support where price action may struggle or bounce from. Short term tactical sentiment for XLI is starting to recover from a bearish downtrend and may show upward momentum from here that could lift CAT up enough to hit the Stop Loss. That nature of the large dark pool trades are unknown and can only be inferred. The June 29 Bar is being used to define the following trade parameters: Short Entry: $214.58 Stop Loss: $218.71 Possible Targets: $207 - First meaningful fib level $200.17 - A previous trend high that was used as a fib definition point $197 - Based on a fib level that has show to have acted as reasonable resistance and support $190 - Based on the rounding to a whole number on the closest fib level Other targets can be based on the fib levels show in the chart or by drawing support lines This thesis/idea is just my opinion based on the information discussed within. None of it should be looked as a recommendation or as financial advice. NYSE:CAT Daily Chart NYSE:CAT Weekly Chart

Short term reversal, Shooting Star, for the S&P 500?The SPX shows a “Shooting Star” candle pattern. The shooting star candle is much like the “Inverted Hammer” but it comes after a move up in price. 
This is a bearish candle for many reasons. - After shooting higher, the bears were able to drive price all the way back below the open, near the low. - Long wicks above the real body in candle charting therefore represent selling pressure. - The close was near the open, creating a small real body. - Small real bodies in candle charting represent indecision, uncertainty. This uncertain pause coming after a move up is not good for the bulls. Adding weight to this perspective is that this candle pattern is formed at resistance of prior highs. When there are a confluence of events lining up then it allows an investor to have more confidence in the idea. Also, interesting to note that the other major U.S. Indices are showing bearish candles. The Dow Jones Industrial is showing a similar candle to this, albeit just above prior highs, and the Nasdaq Composite is showing a “Bearish Engulfing” pattern.

XRP/BTC - I'm think bears are winning at the moment! I just realized i had not done an XRP/BTC video for over a week, so here it is. I have to be honest... I want to see a bull run, but i'm thinking the bears are winning at the moment. The 12000 satoshi area seems to be doing a very good job at keeping price action down. I think we see 10,000- 9,500 satoshis before we see a break of 12000. I hope you enjoy the video... give me a like and leave a comment with your opinion!
