The Secrets of Candlestick Charts Unveiled

Over the last few decades, traders have begun to use candlestick charts far more frequently than any other technical analysis tool. Candlestick charts have a simple, easy to analyze appearance. Unlike bar or line charts, candlestick charts provide more detailed information about the market at a glance.

Today, candlestick charts are one of the most common tools traders use for technical analysis. Most traders prefer to use the candlestick chart because it can help them to:

  • Determine the current state of the market at a glance. Just by looking at the color and length of a candlestick, traders can determine instantly if the market is strengthening (becoming bullish) or weakening (becoming bearish).
  • See the direction of the market more easily. On a candlestick chart, the color and shape of the candlestick can help traders determine if an uptrend is part of bullish momentum or simply a bearish spike.
  • Identify market patterns quickly. Candlestick charts display specific bullish and bearish reversal patterns that cannot be seen on other charts.

Being able to read the candlesticks in a candlestick chart can help you see the current state and direction of the market. This can help you make decisions about the market now, but how about what the market will do in the future?
