Description:
Candlestick patterns are visual representations of price movements over a specific period, typically depicted using candlestick charts. These patterns are formed by the open, high, low, and close prices of an asset within a given timeframe.
Usage:
Candle patterns serve as valuable indicators of market sentiment, providing insights into potential price reversals, continuations, or indecision among market participants.
By recognizing and interpreting candlestick patterns, traders can make informed decisions regarding entry and exit points, risk management, and overall trade strategy.
Angel Algo Candle Patterns:
Angel Algo's Candle Patterns feature identifies and highlights several key candlestick patterns commonly observed in financial markets, including Bullish/Bearish Engulfing, Morning/Evening Star, Bullish/Bearish Fractal, Three Outside Up/Down, and more.
Each pattern is detected based on specific criteria related to the arrangement and characteristics of individual candlesticks within a defined timeframe.
The tool automatically scans historical price data to identify instances of these patterns and presents them visually on the chart for easy identification and analysis.
Interpretation:
Bullish Engulfing: Occurs when a large bullish candle completely engulfs the previous smaller bearish candle, signaling potential bullish momentum.
Bearish Engulfing: Opposite of Bullish Engulfing, characterized by a large bearish candle engulfing the previous smaller bullish candle, indicating potential bearish pressure.
Morning Star: Consists of three candles - a long bearish candle, followed by a small-bodied candle with a gap down, and finally a long bullish candle, signaling a potential bullish reversal.
Evening Star: The inverse of Morning Star, comprising a long bullish candle, followed by a small-bodied candle with a gap up, and concluding with a long bearish candle, suggesting a potential bearish reversal.
Bullish/Bearish Fractal: Reflects potential support or resistance levels, with a bullish fractal forming when a candle's high is higher than the highs of the two preceding and two succeeding candles, and vice versa for a bearish fractal.
Three Outside Up/Down: Bullish pattern where a small bullish candle is followed by a large bearish candle, which is then followed by a larger bullish candle that engulfs the previous bearish candle and closes above the first candle's high (and vice versa for Three Outside Down).
