Candlestick Patterns & Price Action

In technical analysis, a candlestick pattern is a movement in prices shown graphically on a candlestick


chart that some believe can predict a particular market movement. The recognition of the pattern is
subjective and programs that are used for charting have to rely on predefined rules to match the pattern.
There are 42 recognized patterns that can be split into simple and complex patterns, in this chapter we’ll
see only the important and most accurate patterns.

In technical analysis, transitions between rising and falling trends are often signaled by price patterns. By
definition, a price pattern is a recognizable configuration of price movement that is identified using a
series of trend lines and/or curves. When a price pattern signals a change in trend direction, it is known as
a reversal pattern; a continuation pattern occurs when the trend continues in its existing direction
following a brief pause. Technical analysts have long used price patterns to examine current movements
and forecast future market movements.
