Do you know what candlesticks tell you?

 Candlestick charting is a popular technical analysis tool used in finance to represent the price movement of an asset, such as stocks or currency, over a certain period of time. There are several types of candlesticks that can indicate the balance of power between buyers and sellers in the market.

✔️ Candlesticks with buyers in total control: This type of candlestick shows that buyers have completely dominated the market and pushed prices up. The candlestick is typically green or white and its body is long.
✔️ Candlesticks with buyers in control: This type of candlestick shows that buyers have the upper hand, but not as strongly as in the first type. The body of the candlestick is shorter and there may be some upper shadow.
✔️ Candlesticks with active sellers but stronger buyers: This type of candlestick shows that while sellers are trying to push prices down, buyers are able to keep prices up. The candlestick has a long upper shadow and a short lower shadow.
 ✔️ Candlesticks with buyers winning but showing weakness: This type of candlestick shows that buyers were able to push prices up, but only slightly and with difficulty. The body of the candlestick is short and there may be a long upper shadow.
