Doji candlesticks

The result was essentially a draw as buyers and sellers not able to gain control.Lets look at the four basic of the Doji lines in the pictures below :

Doji Candlesticks

The length of the upper and lower shadows can vary and the resulting candlestick looks like a cross, inverted cross or plus sign. The word “Doji” refers to both the singular and plural form.When a doji forms on your chart, pay special attention to the preceding candlesticks.

If a doji forms after a series of candlesticks with long hollow bodies (like white marubozus), the doji signals that the buyers are becoming exhausted and weakening. In order for price to continue rising, more buyers are needed but there aren’t anymore! Sellers are licking their chops and are looking to come in and drive the price back down.

Marubozu

Marubozu in Japanese simply means Bald Head and in terms of candlesticks it is referring to the candlesticks that have no shadows from either sides of the bodies. Depending on whether the candlestick’s body is filled or hollow, the high and low are the same as it’s open or close. As in the picture below there are two types of  Marubozus.

A White(hollow) Marubozu is a long body candlestick with no shadows on either end which is considered as an extremely strong pattern. It opens on the low and immediately heads up. It continues upward until it closes, on its high. Counter to the Black Marubozu, it is often the first part of a bullish continuation pattern or bearish reversal pattern. It is called a Major Yang or Marubozu of Yang.This is where the buyers were controlling the whole session.

A Black(Filled) Marubozu is considered as weak indicator, It is often identified in a bearish continuation or bullish reversal pattern, especially if it occur during a downtrend. A long black candle could represent the final sell off, making it an “alert” to a bullish reversal setting up. The Japanese often call it the Major Yin or Marubozu of Yin.This is where the sellers were  controlling the whole session.

Candlestick Patterns Basics

Lets take a look at the Spinning Tops

Candlesticks with a long lower shadow, long upper shadow  and small real bodies are called spinning tops.

The pattern indicates the indecision between the buyers and sellers

Spinning Tops

The small real body (whether hollow or filled) shows little movement from open to close, and the shadows indicate that both buyers and sellers were fighting but nobody could gain the upper hand.

Even though the session opened and closed with little change, prices moved significantly higher and lower in the meantime. Neither buyers nor sellers could gain the upper hand, and the result was a standoff.

If a spinning top forms during an uptrend, this usually means there aren’t many buyers left and a possible reversal in direction could occur.

If a spinning top forms during a downtrend, this usually means there aren’t many sellers left and a possible reversal in direction could occur.

Forex Candlestick Charts

Candlesticks are formed using the open, high, low and close. It will be much easier to understand by looking at the

picture below :

If the close is above the open, then a hollow candlestick (usually displayed as white) is drawn.
If the close is below the open, then a filled candlestick (usually displayed as black) is drawn.
The hollow or filled section of the candlestick is called the “real body” or body.
The thin lines poking above and below the body display the high/low range and are called shadows.
The top of the upper shadow is the “high”.
The bottom of the lower shadow is the “low”.
