This thread breaks down the true strength of candlesticks, ranked from subtle whispers to market roars. Let’s decode the signals. 👇 1 BULLISH POWER STRUCTURES 🟢 Not all green candles are created equal. Here’s your elite-tier breakdown (from less bullish to more bullish): 🔹 Marubozu – Pure conviction. No wicks. Market confidence is maxed. 🔹 Hammer – Rejection of lower prices. Smart money scooping dips. 🔹 Bullish Spinning Top – Indecision, but buyers had more control. 🔹 Doji – Market pause. Setup for a possible reversal. 🔹 Inverted Hammer – Bear trap. Reversal signal in disguise. 🔹 Dragonfly Doji – Silent strength. Bears pushed, bulls dominated. Elite Take: Watch volume + context. Candles don't lie, but they whisper. Only those trained to listen win. 2 BEARISH DOMINANCE STRUCTURES 🔴 Red doesn’t always mean danger unless you understand the message. Ranked from less bearish to more bearish: 🔻 Gravestone Doji – Buyers tried. Failed. Rejection at the top. 🔻 Hanging Man – Bull exhaustion. Exit time. 🔻 Doji – Balance... before breakdown. 🔻 Bearish Spinning Top – Power struggle, bears edge it out. 🔻 Shooting Star – Sharp rejection. Supply overwhelmed demand. 🔻 Marubozu – No hesitation. Pure bearish aggression. Elite Take: These aren't "just candles" they’re footprints of fear, greed & power plays. 3 Strategy Integration 🧠 Candlestick strength isn’t a solo signal.
