Doji
SPY LOVERS ! NEW ALL TIME HIGHS But be very careful ! Check hereFINALLY HERE ! NEW ALL TIME HIGHS !
But wait!!! do you really Trust those 2 last Dojis ?
Here are 2 quick scenarios to analyze for the week:
Scenario #1 (Green Line): The price may pull back to bounce off the order block zone I have marked in white, which we know as the institutional block where there was a lot of liquidity.
I call this pattern in my trading system "N3" as it consists of 1 breakout + 1 pullback + 1 trend decision.
Scenario #2 (Red Line): Always considering our active order block zone, the price may break through the block with strong momentum, confirming another pullback or bearish market for several days. In this case, AGAIN, the price could fall back to our buyer pressure zone (blue zone), where higher buying pressure volume has been shown. NOTE: All of this depends on the bearish strength the market carries; we can tell if the market will break downward by simply observing bearish volumetric candles or seeing a lot of active bearish volume.
But for now, we can't do anything as long as the price remains within our bullish channel, which we'll keep monitoring throughout the week!
The decision will become very clear once the price makes the choice to break out of my bullish channel.
Best regards, and a million thanks for supporting my analysis!
The Art of Candlestick Trading: How to Spot Market Turns EarlyBuckle up, TradingViewers! It's time to unravel the ancient secrets of candlestick patterns. Originating from an 18th-century Japanese rice trader, these patterns aren't simply red and green elements on your trading charts—they are the Rosetta Stone of market sentiment, offering insights into the highs and lows and the middle ground of buyers and sellers’ dealmaking.
If you’re ready to crack the code of the market from a technical standpoint and go inside the minds of bulls and bears, let’s light this candle!
Understanding the Basics: The Candlestick Construction
First things first, let’s get the basics hammered out. A candlestick (or Candle in your TradingView Supercharts panel) displays four key pieces of information: the open, close, high, and low prices for a particular trading period. It might be 1 minute, 4 hours, a day or a week — candlesticks are available on every time frame. Here’s the breakdown:
The Body : This is the chunky part of the candle. If the close is above the open, the body is usually colored in white or green, representing a bullish session. If the close is below the open, the color is usually black or red, indicating a bearish session.
The Wicks (or Shadows) : These are the thin lines poking out of the body, showing the high and low prices during the session. They tell tales of price extremes and rejections.
Understanding the interplay between the body and the wicks will give you insight into market dynamics. It’s like watching a mini-drama play out over the trading day.
Key Candlestick Patterns and What They Mean
Now onto the fun part — candlestick formations and patterns may help you spot market turns (or continuations) early in the cycle.
The Doji : This little guy is like the market’s way of throwing up its hands and declaring a truce between buyers and sellers. The open and close are virtually the same, painting a cross or plus sign shape. It signals indecision, which could mean a reversal or a continuation, depending on the context. See a Doji after a long uptrend? Might be time to brace for a downturn.
The Hammer and the Hanging Man : These candles have small bodies, little to no upper wick, and long lower wicks. A Hammer usually forms during a downtrend, suggesting a potential reversal to the upside. The Hanging Man, its evil twin, appears during an uptrend and warns of a potential drop.
Bullish and Bearish Engulfing: These are the bullies of candlestick patterns. A Bullish Engulfing pattern happens when a small bearish candle is followed by a large bullish candle that completely engulfs the prior candle's body — suggesting a strong turn to the bulls. Bearish Engulfing is the opposite, with a small bullish candle followed by a big bearish one, hinting that bears might be taking control of the wheel.
The Morning Star and the Evening Star : These are three-candle patterns signaling major shifts. The Morning Star — a bullish reversal pattern — consists of a bearish candle, a small-bodied middle candle, and a long bullish candle. Think the dawn of new bullish momentum. The Evening Star, the bearish counterpart, indicates the onset of bearish momentum, as if the sun is setting on bullish prices.
The Shooting Star and the Inverted Hammer : Last but not least, these candles indicate rejection of higher prices (Shooting Star) or lower prices (Inverted Hammer). Both feature small bodies, long upper wicks, and little to no lower wick. They flag price exhaustion and potential reversals.
Trading Candlestick Patterns: Tips for Profitable Entries
Context is King : Always interpret candlestick patterns within the larger market context. A Bullish Engulfing pattern at a key support level is more likely to pan out than one in no-man’s-land.
Volume Validates : A candlestick pattern with high trading volume gives a stronger signal. It’s like the market shouting, “Hey, I really mean this move!”
Confirm with Other Indicators : Don’t rely solely on candlesticks, though. Use them in conjunction with other technical tools like RSI, MACD, or moving averages to confirm signals.
Wrapping It Up
Candlestick patterns give you a sense for the market’s pulse and offer insights into its moment-to-moment sentiment — is it overreacting or staying too tight-lipped. Mastering candlesticks can elevate your trading by helping you spot trend reversals and continuations. These patterns aren’t foolproof — they are powerful tools in your trading toolkit but require additional work, knowledge and context to give them a higher probability of confirmation.
It’s time to light up those charts and let the candlesticks illuminate your trading path to some good profits!

Monthly on btcusd.January ended with a Doji candle, a symbol of uncertainty and often when seen on the tops a prelude to reversals. But for a reversal of the trend, confirmation will be needed and we know that the underlying trend is bullish, so in this context we can use the doji candle to understand whether it will make a retracement or not, using the highs and lows of the candle. For the February or March candles, a closing below the minimum should be seen as a retracement signal because to reverse the underlying trend, in addition to confirmation, time is also needed and on this we have seen that the trend has been bullish for more than a year . A close above the doji's high, however, would be a very strong bullish signal, consolidating a trend that for now seems to catch its breath in the short term and that's all.

Mastering the Art of Trading Doji Candlesticks in Forex 📈🕯️
✅Introduction
=================
In the world of forex trading, the use of candlestick patterns is an essential tool for analyzing and predicting market movements. Among these patterns, the doji candlestick holds a special significance due to its potential to signal market reversals and trend continuations. In this article, we will explore the characteristics of doji candlesticks, their significance in forex trading, and strategies for effectively trading them.
Formation of 2 doji candles on a daily time frame on GBPUSD after a retracement was a strong bullish signal.
✅Understanding the Doji Candlestick
=====================================
The doji candlestick is characterized by its very small or non-existent body, indicating that the opening and closing prices are essentially the same. This results in the formation of a short or non-existent body, with long upper and lower wicks. The doji represents market indecision, signaling a potential reversal or continuation of the current trend.
Doji candle helped me to predict a bearish reversal on USDJPY.
✅Trading Strategies with Doji Candlesticks
==============================================
1. Reversal Strategy: When a doji candle forms after a strong upward or downward trend, it can indicate market indecision and potential reversal. Traders can look for confirmation from other technical indicators or patterns to enter a trade in the opposite direction of the previous trend.
Example: After a prolonged uptrend, a doji candle forms, indicating indecision. Traders can wait for a bearish confirmation candle, such as a bearish engulfing pattern, before entering a short trade.
2. Continuation Strategy: Sometimes, a doji candle can signify a brief pause in the current trend before continuing in the same direction. Traders can wait for a break above or below the high or low of the doji to confirm the continuation of the trend.
Example: In a strong uptrend, a doji candle forms, indicating uncertainty. Traders can wait for a break above the high of the doji to enter a long trade, expecting the trend to continue.
3. Doji Patterns: Certain variations of the doji candle, such as the dragonfly doji, gravestone doji, or long-legged doji, carry their own specific implications based on their shape and position within the broader price action. Traders can develop specialized strategies based on these patterns.
Combining key levels and doji gives even more powerful confirmation
✅Conclusion
================
In conclusion, mastering the art of trading doji candlesticks in forex requires a deep understanding of their characteristics and the ability to integrate them into effective trading strategies. By incorporating doji candlesticks into their arsenal of technical tools, traders can gain valuable insights into market sentiment and improve their decision-making process.

Is Boeing a buy before earnings? LONGThis is a daily Boeing chart with the idea on the chart in the text. There may be a good entry
before earnings using a stop loss under the POC line and an ultimate target of the projected
trendline resistance at $280-$300 if all goes well fundamentally with an FAA investigation
and its sequelae. A megaphone pattern demonstrates increasing volatility in price action which
is something some traders take to the bank. My analysis is that this may be a safe swing trade
until the report of the 24Q2 earnings in about 100 days.
Learn Profitable Doji Candle Trading Strategy
In the today's post, I will share my Doji Candle trading strategy.
This strategy combines the elements of multiple time frame analysis, price action and key levels.
Step 1
Analyze key levels on a daily time frame.
Identify vertical and horizontal supports and resistances.
Here are the key structures that I spotted on on AUDUSD.
Step 2
Look for a formation Doji Candle on a key structure.
This rule is crucially important: we will trade only the Doji candles that are formed on key levels.
From key supports, we will look for buying, and we will look for shorting from key resistances.
Look at this Doji Candle that was formed on a key daily support on AUDUSD.
Step 3
Look for a horizontal range on a 4h/1h time frames.
Doji Candle signifies indecision. Quite often, you will notice the horizontal ranges on lower time frames when this candlestick is formed.
Here is a horizontal range that was formed on a 4H time frame on AUDUSD after a formation of Doj i.
Step 4
Look for a breakout of the range.
To sell from a key resistance, we will need a bearish breakout of the support of the range. That will be our bearish confirmation.
To buy from a key support, we will need a bullish breakout of the resistance of the range. It will be our bullish signal.
Here is a confirmed breakout of the resistance of the range with a 4H candle close above. That is our bullish confirmation on AUDUSD.
Step 5
Buy aggressively or on a retest.
After you spotted a confirmed breakout of the range, open a trading position aggressively or on a retest.
Personally, I prefer trading on a retest.
If you sell, a stop loss should be above the high of the range and your target should be the closest key daily support.
If you buy, your stop loss should be below the low of the range and a take profit will be on the closest daily resistance.
On AUDUSD, a long position was opened on a retest. Stop loss is lying below the lows. Take profit is the closest resistance.
Here is how the great strategy works!
Always patiently wait for a confirmation! That is your key to successful trading Doji Candle.
❤️Please, support my work with like, thank you!❤️
TSLA Trendline RetestTSLA breakout failed to end the year but is now currently backtesting the trendline. It's been surfing the 200 EMA, and If that holds, this seems like a great risk reward spot to go long. A red to green open would provide a great entry. 5 straight days down and then a doji candle smells like a possible reversal as well. Initial Targets $250 $265

Doji candlesticks, with their equal or nearly equal open and close, offer crucial insights into market indecision. Understanding these formations is key to anticipating potential reversals and trade decisions. Let’s delve deeper into their significance and how to incorporate them effectively into your trading strategy.
Understanding Doji:
A Doji occurs when opening and closing prices are almost identical, signaling market indecision.
Neutral Nature: Doji are neutral signals, highlighting the tug-of-war between buyers and sellers.
Psychological Insight: Forming amid market uncertainty, Doji reflect hesitancy and potential trend shifts.
4 Types of Doji and Their Meanings:
Dragonfly Doji:
Description: Open and close near the high of the day.
Interpretation: Sellers drive prices down, but buyers regain control.
Action: Explore long positions with support from trend analysis and resistance levels.
Gravestone Doji:
Description: Open and close occur near the low of the day.
Interpretation: Buyers initially push prices up, but sellers regain control.
Action: Consider short positions if confirmed by trend analysis and support/resistance levels.
Traditional Doji:
Description: Open and close are almost identical.
Interpretation: Strong market indecision; trend reversal potential.
Action: Confirm with trend analysis; consider reversal or continuation trades accordingly.
Long-Legged Doji:
Description: Significantly long upper and lower shadows.
Interpretation: Represents high indecision; neither buyers nor sellers dominate.
Action: Await confirmation from other indicators for trade decisions.
Incorporating Doji Into Your Strategy:
Combining with Support/Resistance: Doji at key support/resistance levels enhance their significance. Use them to validate potential reversal points.
Utilizing Trend Analysis: Doji are potent when aligned with prevailing trends. In an uptrend, Doji signal potential reversals, while in downtrends, they may indicate trend exhaustion.
Implementing Fibonacci Levels: Combine Doji with Fibonacci retracement levels for robust entry/exit points. A Doji at a Fibonacci level strengthens the reversal signal.
Risk Management: Define stop-loss and take-profit levels logically. Doji, while insightful, don’t guarantee outcomes. Protect your investments with sound risk management.
Remember, successful trading is a blend of strategy, discipline, and adaptability. Doji candlesticks, as valuable tools, provide glimpses into market psychology. When integrated wisely, they can bolster your trading decisions, enhancing your overall effectiveness in the dynamic world of trading.
