We all know that Price (Price Action) is The King and the best way to Analyse the King / Price is to know the Candle Sticks, their patterns and the things they convey.
Understand that God is in small things and these small candlesticks are the road to bigger and consistent profits. Without in depth understanding of candlesticks, their patterns, their characters will not lead you anywhere in trading journey.
Every Candle has a Open (O) Price, the High Price that the Candle went up to in that Candle (H), the Low Price that Candle went Down to (L) and finally the Close Price (C). This constitutes the famous and all important OHLC.
Every candle has a body and wicks. Body shows the volume and wicks indicate the direction and strength of the direction.
Why is this important? The Difference between the H and the L shows the Strength / Liquidity / Momentum of the Pair. Higher is the difference between the H and the L, more is the Momentum / Liquidity, lesser is the difference between the H and the L, lesser is the Momentum / Liquidity.
If the H and L convey the Momentum / Liquidity / Strength, the O and C convey the direction. Horizontal line on the left side of the candle is Open and the Horizontal line on the right side of the candle is Close. If the C is Higher and Above the O, Market is Going UP. If the C is Lower and Below the O, Market is going DOWN.
