Why One Candle Can Matter

Sometimes a single candle tells you a lot about what just happened in the market. Think of it like reading someone’s facial expression — one look can tell you if they are happy, worried, or unsure. These shapes have names that traders use worldwide. You do not need to memorize dozens of them. Start with four common ones: the Doji, the Hammer, the Shooting Star, and the Marubozu. Each describes how buyers and sellers fought during one time period.

💡 Patterns are clues, not guarantees. Always look at what happened before and after the candle.
