The Power of Candlestick Encapsulation in Trading: Utilizing theTrading is a captivating and intricate field that demands a profound understanding of financial markets, investment strategies, and technical analysis. Among the many techniques employed by traders, candlestick encapsulation is one that can prove to be particularly powerful. In this article, we will explore the concept of candlestick encapsulation and how one can harness the 50% of the first candle's length as a potential support or resistance level. What Is Candlestick Encapsulation? Candlestick encapsulation, also known as an "inside bar," is a price pattern that occurs when a subsequent candle develops within the boundaries of the preceding candle. In other words, the price range of the second candle is entirely contained within the range of the first candle. This pattern can appear on any time frame, from daily candles to one-minute candles, and is often used by traders to identify potential turning points in the markets. How to Identify Candlestick Encapsulation? To identify candlestick encapsulation, follow these steps: * Examine the First Candle: Begin by observing the most recent candle on your price chart. This will be the "mother candle."
 * Take a Look at the Next Candle: Next, examine the candle that follows the mother candle. This candle should have a price range that is completely contained within the range of the mother candle.
 * Confirm the Pattern: To confirm candlestick encapsulation, the second candle must close within the range of the mother candle. Using the 50% Level as Support or Resistance Now that we understand what candlestick encapsulation is, let's explore how to leverage the 50% of the first candle's length as a potential support or resistance level. * Calculate the Length of the First Candle: Measure the length of the mother candle from its high to its low.
 * Calculate 50% of the Length: Now, calculate exactly 50% of this length. You can do this by adding the high and low of the mother candle and dividing by two.
 * Draw the Horizontal Line: Plot a horizontal line on your price chart at the level you calculated as 50% of the mother candle's length.
 * Observe Price Behavior: This horizontal line represents a potential support level if prices move below it or a resistance level if prices stay above it. Observe how prices react when they reach this level. Interpretation and Strategy The use of the 50% level of the mother candle's length as support or resistance can be applied in various trading strategies. Here are some important considerations: * Breakout Strategy: If prices break above the 50% level, there may be a potential bullish breakout. In this case, traders may look for buying opportunities.
 * Pullback Strategy: If prices return to the 50% level after a breakout, this could be an opportunity to enter positions in the direction of the prevailing trend.
 * Stop Loss and Take Profit: Traders can use the 50% level as a reference point to place stop-loss or take-profit orders. Conclusion Candlestick encapsulation is a technical analysis technique that can provide valuable insights into potential turning points in financial markets. By using the 50% level of the mother candle's length as support or resistance, traders can add another tool to their trading toolkit for making informed trading decisions. However, it is important to remember that no technique is foolproof, and trading always involves a degree of risk. Therefore, it is advisable to combine this technique with careful risk management and a solid understanding of financial markets.

SAIL-DAILY/WEEKLY/MONTHLY-BreakoutNSE:SAIL Stock is near verge of breakout 90-91 level. It has formed a rounding bottom near support levels. As per the weekly chart it is creating higher lows from past few weeks. Currently there is a inside candle formed in weekly timeframe. However, it needs 3 more days to get confirmed how it will appear. I still believe that the stock is bullish above 87-86 levels. If it goes for retest, it will be good opportunity to accumulate some qty around 88.50. We can keep SL around 85, it has potential to go upside T- 100, T2- 110. This is only for educational purpose, please manage your risk accordingly.

Power of Inside Bar - Cingniti TechInside Bars if used wisely, can give us astonishing results in Trading. Let's understand this scenario. Stock Name - Cigniti Tech After 20th Feb 2023, on D TF, this counter merely had any move! More or less it had inside Bars with totally squeezed close prices compared to earlier close. if you observe, closing prices are getting squeezed day by day with drying up sales volume. This indicates sellers are loosing control & buyers ay pitch in! Following are reasons for my Long view - 1. Stock is in Up Trend. 2. Stock prices are above 200 EMA 3. 10 & 20 EMAs are above 200 EMA. 4. RSI has crossed 55 5. Nifty IT index is in uptrend, so sectors is booming. So my entry would be on crossover of high of 7th Feb. Same setup & logic can be applied while entering stock on 3rd March, as its crossing previous high of 2nd march for a quick move on upside.

Its $STM turn to outperformWhenever I find two stocks acting well I always want to buy the best but, how to know this? Both are forming a shark pattern in the weekly chart, and both are from the same industry, semiconductors. So how to choose? For me, a simple ratio will do it. It will show which one is outperforming the other. In this case NYSE:STM is being buyed more aggressively than NASDAQ:MCHP . I'll wait for the breakout above $51 to get in and use the previous weekly lows for the stop loss. The thing is that if STM breaks out but NASDAQ:MCHP then something might be wrong. Always keep an eye on how related stocks behave.

LONDON UJ LONG 618 ON IB IMOMENTUMUsing half of our profit from last trade, we will go for another 2R on this last setup of London. Price has yet made another playbook setup and we must heed by our trading plan and take it. We have taken far more entries during ASIA/LONDON than we anticipated and although they were all profitable, taking these many entries is NOT what we recommend. Psychology studies suggest that the human mind can typically only make 1-2 rational emotional decisions per day and as we all know when risking capital, we are also risking our psychological capital which opens up risk of trading emotionally and going on TILT, resulting in giving our gains back to the market, or even ending up in a worse position than when we started! The only reason we are taking this trade is because it is going to be a 'set it and forget it' type of setup, using 1R which is technically "house money" at this point. PROBABILITY OF SUCCESS: 25%

Watchlist 2023-01-25Market started with a rest day yesterday, faking everyone out left right and center. However, a late day squeeze flushed a good deal of shorts out so they could drop it in the PM, falling 1.23% at the time. Bias is short today. Looking for retests of key levels. Value area from prior day is 400 - indicated by the grey box and volume profile on the right. Retest level on SPY is 398. NVDA - Inside bar play today. Key level is 181.60, coincides with the insider bar downside level and a key prior pivot top. Two trades on this. Momentum scalp short on the open - looking for flags near key level. Then there is a retest short if the market provides it. However, since this appears to be the start of a new active sequence down, I would favor strong downside momentum and not expect strong pullbacks to reenter/add. W - clear rejection higher on wayfair. Gapping under the day 1 support. Gap fill short to 49 area. NEE - If nextEra Energy can show weakness at 80.32, next stop is 79.20. The risk reward on this is probably not favorable unless there is a shove off the open into resistance at 82. However, everyone for the last few months who bought is now under water. Capitulation type of trade is a possibility as we are down 2.5 ATRs in the PM.
