00:00:06,980 --> 00:00:12,230
Hello once again to all of you in this lecture, where I will explain two more of my favorite candlestick
1
2
00:00:12,230 --> 00:00:17,750
formations. Before I begin, I want to remind you guys that the candlestick patterns that you're studying
2
3
00:00:17,750 --> 00:00:20,070
in this lecture are in no particular order.
3
4
00:00:20,240 --> 00:00:26,390
So every pattern carries equal significance in my trading and therefore there is no pattern that I regard
4
5
00:00:26,390 --> 00:00:28,910
superior to any other.
5
6
00:00:28,910 --> 00:00:32,510
So guys, the patterns we are studying here in this lecture are called the signal top
6
7
00:00:32,750 --> 00:00:38,980
and the signal bottom, which consists of one candle. A signal top is defined as a candle
7
8
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:44,810
where market posts a higher-high than the previous candle and then closes much lower than the opening
8
9
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:45,810
price of the candle.
9
10
00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:52,760
It is a very powerful indicator of a top formation and indicating sellers entering in large numbers.
10
11
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:53,210
Guys, a signal top
11
12
00:00:53,210 --> 00:00:55,270
is very different from a shooting star.
12
13
00:00:55,550 --> 00:00:59,720
Firstly, the real body of the signal top is much bigger than that of a shooting star.
13
14
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:06,170
Secondly, it is possible for a signal top to have a very small upper tail or upper wick compared to a
14
15
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:08,660
shooting star. On the other side,
15
16
00:01:08,660 --> 00:01:13,810
as the name suggests, a signal bottom candle appears after a clear downtrend in price.
16
17
00:01:14,390 --> 00:01:19,880
Then the candle posts a lower-low when compared to the previous candle and by the end of the session
17
18
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,460
it closes well above the opening price of the candle.
18
19
00:01:22,730 --> 00:01:28,490
A signal bottom is a sign of buyers taking control of the market by the end of the session and is a
19
20
00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:31,680
strong indicator of bullish sentiment entering the market.
20
21
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,520
Please use the same guidelines as we studied above in this lecture to differentiate a signal bottom
21
22
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:38,840
from a hammer formation.
22
23
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:43,580
Let us quickly study signal top and signal bottom using illustrations.
23
24
00:02:09,580 --> 00:02:15,700
Please remember that signal top candle's real body must be bearish in color and signal bottom candle's
24
25
00:02:15,700 --> 00:02:17,650
real body must be bullish colored.
25
26
00:02:21,890 --> 00:02:27,410
Guys, with both of these patterns, you will always analyze them while keeping the below guidelines
26
27
00:02:27,710 --> 00:02:28,580
in your mind:
27
28
00:02:29,700 --> 00:02:34,770
1. Whether signal top or signal bottom appeared after a clear uptrend or downtrend, respectively.
28
29
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,250
This means that the importance of the pattern increases when they have come after a prolonged move in
29
30
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:47,220
terms of both price and time.
2. Whether these points are also associated to key support and resistance
30
31
00:02:47,220 --> 00:02:48,540
zones on the trading chart.
31
32
00:02:48,810 --> 00:02:52,260
If this happens, you are able to trade them with more confidence.
32
33
00:02:54,180 --> 00:02:59,700
Now, let us go through some examples of signal top and signal bottom. First example is of USDCAD
33
34
00:02:59,700 --> 00:03:04,830
and we are seeing a signal top candle on daily charts starting from here.
34
35
00:03:04,830 --> 00:03:09,020
This forex pair enjoyed a sharp rally for more than 60 trading days.
35
36
00:03:09,390 --> 00:03:13,790
And then we saw a signal top at a major level which acted as price resistance.
36
37
00:03:14,380 --> 00:03:17,060
Notice the size of the tail and real body of the candle.
37
38
00:03:17,460 --> 00:03:19,140
Both are almost equal in price.
38
39
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,970
These are the key differences you will notice when comparing a signal top to a shooting star.
39
40
00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:28,350
Price declined sharply for more than 70 trading sessions on this pair.
40
41
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:34,610
Let's study another example of Signal top.
41
42
00:03:38,630 --> 00:03:42,860
Once again, this signal top appeared after a prolonged trend in price and time.
42
43
00:03:46,650 --> 00:03:52,170
It was once again associated to major resistance, the real body is larger than the tail, and candle
43
44
00:03:52,170 --> 00:03:55,950
posted a strong bearish close after opening higher than previous day's close.
44
45
00:03:58,910 --> 00:04:04,910
And following the signal top, price declined sharply in a bearish trend. More often than not, a signal top
45
46
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:10,070
formation linked to key level presents a highly profitable opportunity on larger timeframes.
46
47
00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:24,080
Let's continue studying next example of EURUSD but this time we're focusing on a signal bottom
47
48
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:30,620
which appears after a clear downtrend. The signal bottom candle has a large real body with a small,
48
49
00:04:30,620 --> 00:04:36,950
lower and upper wick and presented a major buy set up on this support zone after a sharp decline,
49
50
00:04:36,950 --> 00:04:37,610
as you see here.
50
51
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,990
And what followed was the retest of the support zone multiple times in this period before price advanced
51
52
00:04:58,990 --> 00:04:59,920
in a bullish trend.
52
53
00:05:06,580 --> 00:05:09,880
The next example of a signal bottom is of Crude oil daily Chart
53
54
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,590
Notice once again, the size of real body of this candle guys. Larger the real body, bigger the
54
55
00:05:17,590 --> 00:05:19,090
preceding price action will be.
55
56
00:05:27,970 --> 00:05:34,030
Before this signal bottom, price was moving in a sideways trend, and then it rallied sharply once the
56
57
00:05:34,030 --> 00:05:40,390
bullish sentiment was confirmed by this formation. Guys, the final example is of
57
58
00:05:40,390 --> 00:05:41,150
USDJPY.
58
59
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,700
The criteria remains the same to test the strength of the signal bottom, as I show you here.
59
60
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:52,740
Please remember that a signal bottom or a signal top which is not associated to clear market trend
60
61
00:05:52,980 --> 00:05:57,440
is not as effective when compared to those associated to clear market trends.
61
62
00:06:09,950 --> 00:06:13,730
This also concludes this lecture, and I will see you in the next lecture in this section.
