The Candlestick pattern in Forex trading is a method of reading a price chart. To read a candlestick pattern, we have 4 data points: open, high, low, and close. This patterns can be formed across different time frames. It means if you are on the one-hour time frame every candlestick pattern will be formed every one hour, if you are on a daily time frame every candlestick pattern will be formed every day etc.
How to read Candlestick Patterns
When you are dealing with candlestick patterns you would usually see one of two candles, either it’s a green candle or a red candle, sometimes it could be black or white.
“A bull” candle and “A bear” candle
Main difference between “a bull” and “a bear” candle is the location of their opening and closing price.
For “a bull” candle it means that the market has closed above the opening price. For “a bear” candle it means that the market has closed below the opening price.
