🧵 Mastering Candlestick Psychology: Read Charts Like an Elite Investor
Most traders see candles.
Winners see intention, psychology & capital movement behind every wick.
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.
