Candlestick analysis
AUDUSD - Bullish CrabA Bullish Crab Pattern completes and forms at 0.7353 for traders who are looking for a buying opportunity as a trend trader. Crab Pattern usually consolidates and retest a couple of time before it took off, but after the 1000(UTC+3) candle close, I believe it will just take off.
For conservative traders could be waiting for a double top retracement to the 61.8% zone, represented by the red box for shorting opportunity. The Conservative target for target 1 will be 0.7353 for them to shift stops to entry.
CADJPY - Bullish SharkIf the 2 bearish candles didn't appear before the market close, the Head and Shoulders formation is an almost perfect setup.
Now we need to have the awareness that the Bullish Shark Pattern may form and that will weaken the Shark Pattern.
At this moment it is still too early to make any decision, it will be critical when the candle break and close below Point B.
2nd Target for the Head and Shoulders is at a Risk-Free setup. In fact, the stop-loss has locked 16pips of profit and that is the Worst Case Scenario for this trade. The Best Case Scenario will bring you a 217pips(approx. 2,170USD/lot) potential.
Now, that's why Patience is Virtue!
EURJPY - Bearish SharkDo you remember the Bearish Shark setup that I've shared on 15 March 2021?
Well, I don't remember the exact date, but tradingview does. That's 1 thing I love about tradingview.
It helps traders to differentiate the real trader apart from those who just do screenshots that are favourable to their desired outcome.
For those who have engaged on the Shark Pattern on the weekly chart, right now it is giving you 338pips(approx. 3,380USD) of running profits, from a 579pips(approx. 5,790UDF) retracement.
Check out the link at the bottom of the tradingview post.
At this moment there are 2 potential scenarios on its daily chart. A bullish bat completing at 126.00 as a trend trading setup or a Bearish Shark Pattern completing at 133.46 as a counter-trend trade.
USDJPY-Weekly Market Analysis-Sep21,Wk2Last week, I've shared with you that USDJPY is going to have a Bullish Shark Pattern set up within the 5-0 Pattern and the price to engage on the countertrend setup is 109.73(you can check the link within the TradingView chart and you can find the chart link at the bottom). The final target for the Shark Pattern brings 53pips of profit which is approximately 530USD/lot traded.
USDJPY has just completed its Bearish Flag Pattern. I'm waiting for a double bottom, which means the market has to retest and touch 109.62 for a double bottom buying opportunity. This will put the trade setup to be a counter-trend trade and an RSI Divergence will be my minimum criteria to engage the trade and the first target will be at 109.88.
GBPUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Sep21,Wk2Two weeks ago, we spoke about the Bullish Bat setup for a buying opportunity, at this moment the setup has brought a total of 238pip, which is equivalent to 2,380USD/lot traded. If you like to catch on the bull run, a retest on the trendline(blue) can create an opportunity for you to engage the trade. The immediate previous high can be your Target1.
Counter-Trend Traders can wait for the Bearish Deep Crab Pattern confirmation at 1.3910. Usually, for Deep Crab Pattern, I will wait for consolidation and retest before engaging the trade.
EURUSD-Weekly Market Analysis-Sep21,Wk2Two Harmonic Patterns Converge at 1.1892. I'm waiting for a retest at that level for a shorting opportunity on the Bearish Shark and Bearish Crab Pattern.
Both Shark Pattern and Crab Pattern is a counter-trend setup and it is more likely for this pattern to consolidate, retest and retest before the actual move.
Once the market retest the Bearish Channel, it will be a great idea to shift stop-loss to entry.
Candlestick Charts Part 1 Hello everyone, as we all know the market action discounts everything :)
_________________________________Make sure to Like and Follow if you like the idea_________________________________
A lot of people wanna start trading but they don't know where to start, So i decided to create a series of videos to help new traders understand the Market, Charts, and Patterns.
Today's video will be about the Candlestick Chart and it's going to be Part 1 out of 3
Part 1 will be about the theory and structure of the Candlesticks and the different types of Candles.
Part 2 will be about Candlesticks Reversal Patterns.
Part 3 will be about Candlesticks Continuation Patterns.
So let's start with talking about the candlestick chart in general:
In the 1700s, a Japanese man named Homma discovered that, while there was a link between price and the supply and demand of rice, the markets were strongly influenced by the emotions of traders.
Candlesticks show that emotion by visually representing the size of price moves with different colors. Traders use candlesticks to make trading decisions based on regularly occurring patterns that help forecast the short-term direction of the price.
There are 3 different types of Candles :
Bullish Candle
Bearish Candle
Doji
1) Bullish Candle
A Bullish candlestick shows the market's open, high, low, and close price for the day. The candlestick has a wide part, which is called the "real body." Bullish means that the market is going up.
This real body represents the price range between the open and close of that day.
The Shadow or wick or tail represent the high and low of the market.
2) Bearish Candle
A Bearish candlestick shows the market's open, high, low, and close price for the day. The candlestick has a wide part, which is called the "real body." Bearish means that the market is going down.
This real body represents the price range between the open and close of that day.
The Shadow or wick or tail represent the high and low of the market.
3) Doji
The Doji has 5 Different types :
Standard Doji
A Standard Doji is a single candlestick that does not signify much on its own. To understand what this candlestick means, traders observe the prior price action building up to the Doji.
Trades based on Doji candlestick patterns need to be taken into context. For example, a Standard Doji within an uptrend may prove to form part of a continuation of the existing uptrend. But it could be a reversal of an uptrend which shows the importance of confirmation post the occurrence of the Doji.
Long-legged Doji
The Long-Legged Doji simply has a greater extension of the vertical lines above and below the horizontal line. This indicates that during the timeframe of the candle price action dramatically moved up and down but closed at virtually the same level that it opened. This shows the indecision between the buyers and the sellers.
Dragonfly Doji
The Dragonfly Doji can appear at either the top of an uptrend or the bottom of a downtrend and signals the potential for a change in direction. There is no line above the horizontal bar which creates a ‘T’ shape and signifies that prices did not move above the opening price. A very extended lower wick on this Doji at the bottom of a bearish move is a very bullish signal.
Gravestone Doji
The Gravestone Doji is the opposite of the Dragonfly Doji. It appears when price action opens and closes at the lower end of the trading range. After the candle open, buyers were able to push the price up but by the close they were not able to sustain the bullish momentum. At the top of a move to the upside, this is a bearish signal.
4 Price Doji
The 4 Price Doji is simply a horizontal line with no vertical line above or below the horizontal. This Doji pattern signifies the ultimate in indecision since the high, low, open and close (all four prices represented) by the candle are the same. The 4 Price Doji is a unique pattern signifying once again indecision or an extremely quiet market.
I hope that I was able to help you understand The basics of The Candlestick Chart and if you have any more questions don't hesitate to ask.
Hit that like if you found this helpful and check out my other video about the Moving Average, Stochastic oscillator, The Dow Jones Theory, How To Trade Breakouts, The RSI , The MACD , The Bollinger Bands and The Different Types Of Trading Strategies links will be bellow
CADJPY - Head and ShouldersA confirmed Head and Shoulders formation on the 4-hourly chart with an RSI Divergence gives an opportunity for trend reversal traders to engage in a counter-trend trade.
The 1-hourly chart trendline has greatly improved our entry price by 63pips and I've engaged the trade at 87.13 when the candle touches the trendline and has a 3-bar reversal with a bullish engulfing candle.
Zoom - Bullish BatI must say, I'm a forex trader, not a stocks trader so do your own research. From the technical analysis standpoint Zoom has hit $290 after the company reported more than $1 billion in quarterly revenue Monday, topping analyst expectations. But the company’s third-quarter earnings guidance failed to impress Wall Street.
Shares of Zoom (ticker: ZM) were down more than11% in premarket trading Tuesday.
This could give traders who wanted to buy zoom but finding it too expensive to involve in the market an opportunity to engage.
A bullish bat pattern, alt bat or fib 3 bat you may call it, is a good setup for a potential buying opportunity, but do remember harmonic pattern like this has a high win-rate if used right but that doesn't mean a 100% win rate.
Overall, I'm positive on this stock to go long.
CADJPY - Bearish BatA Harmonic Pattern that is fit the criteria of a counter-trend trading setup on the CADJPY has been established.
This is not your usual Bat Pattern but a Fib3 Bat or some called it the Alt Bat which works fine with me.
I'm waiting for the candlestick confirmation to decide should I be shorting the Bearish Bat Pattern on every hour candlestick close.
GBPAUD - Bullish Gartley @ XBullish Gartley Pattern form at X is 1 of the pattern that I will watch closely. I'm waiting for a counter-trend trade on this Gartley Pattern setup.
Trade has already engaged but stops is placed below the bearish flag completion with buffer.(you can check out the link at the bottom to access the training on my secret formula in placing stop-loss)
EURJPY - Bearish SharkShark Pattern, this is what shark pattern really is. If you got stung out on the same shark pattern and once it has grown into the next entry price, the textbook case suggest that you should still engage the trade should the candlestick confirmation come by.
Compare to its peers, USDJPY, this is the more well-liked set-up as it was a trend trading setup, unlike the USDJPY, counter-trend setup.
I will have to wait for the candle to close at 9 pm (+8GMT) which is 16:00(UTC +3). If a pin bar, or long shadow I will be looking for a shorting opportunity.
USDJPY - Bearish SharkA bearish shark pattern is about to happen on USDJPY as well. Sometimes these happen to the Yen pairs, 1 after another and it is really your trading rules to decide if you cherry-pick them or you engage them anyway.
What's the difference between these 2 Shark Pattern setup is that this is a counter-trend setup.
Traders who have the in-born mindset of how high can it go or buy low and sell high would prefer the USDJPY Shark Pattern setup.
Which is your favourite?
Let me know in the comment segment below.
USDJPY - 5-0 PatternConsolidation in the 5-0 Pattern is what traders who shorted the Shark Pattern don't want to see. A break and close below the blue box will ease the mind of many. However, Profession traders will look closely at that level and decide should they liquidate their 2nd Target and go long.
You don't need to stare at the screen, just set an alert and let technology alert you and decide when the candlestick close.
GBPAUD - Bearish FlagSometimes it could be hard for a trader to differentiate whether the market is going to have a Double Bottom setup with RSI Divergence of a Bearish Flag formation. It all voice down to your filter and experience in the market. If you are uncertain of any trading setup, then leave the trade alone until you have further confirmation.
While a small group of traders are aware of my thoughts on this bearish flag setup, I regretted not posting this trade, but if you believe me, then that doesn't matter.
At this moment I'm waiting for a double bottom set up at 1.8790, which is also the level that coincides with the retest of the broken trendline on the 4-hourly chart for a buying opportunity. And to your comfort, it is still within the buy zone of the 4-hourly chart and the daily chart as a trend trading setup, although from the recent market movement, the bearish move is much stronger than the bullish candle and that is why you need to have a strong filter that you have manual backtest for at least 100 times per timeframe, per currency pair.
