Supply and Demand
Trading Remember that in every bar, the same number of contracts/shares are sold and bought at that time frame

direction and more aggressive than the sellers. The reverse is true for a bear wide range bar
So candle body shows, What extent they move the price and the strength behind the move

The length of any wick, either to the top or bottom of the candle is ALWAYS the first point of focus because it
instantly shows, strength, weakness, and indecision, and most important where SMART-MONEY enter
Larger wicks show that price has moved a lot during the duration of the candle but it got rejected,
shows the presence of supply or demand
Lower wick act as support and upper wick act as resistance

When candles are not able to break through a zone 70-80% of the time they will go the opposite way
Step 1 First read DIRECTION OF current CANDLE with respect to the previous candle
That means, the relationship of each bar high/low relative to the previous bar. What it telling us
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 9/27
20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
Step 2 Context (read the current bar sentiment with respect to the previous bar)
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 10/27

Candlestick should analyze the context of the move. You should never try and read the market looking at one
day’s action in isolation. A candlestick always must be analyzed in the context of what has happened in the
past.
Context is what current candlestick shows with respect to the previous candlestick
The current candlestick larger or smaller than previous ones? Which shows momentum increases or
decreases
Is the size-changing meaningfully or not? Buying or selling pressure
Is volatility increases or decreases
Is the change happening during an active trading period or not? For example, candlesticks on mid-
period generally dead or inactive.

The concept of testing refers to the market moving towards a price level to “test” if the price level will accept
reject the market’s advances. Key levels are
The high and low of each price bar are natural support and resistance levels and the wick generally acts as a
supply and demand zone. The test of these levels or zones shows the undercurrents of the market and is
critical for reading price action.

Step 4 Expectation
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 14/27
20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
With a clear read of DIRECTION, CONTEXT, TESTING. we are able to form expectations of the market in
the third candle. We would expect the market to move in a certain way in the third bar with our read of
DIRECTION, CONTEXT, TESTING. The confirmation or failure of our expectations of the third bar reveals
more about the market, and add to our candlestick analysis
To form expectations, we need to make a very simple assumption about how the market should behave and
should not behave.
Essentially, the market has momentum and inertia. bearishness should follow bearishness and bullishness
should follow bullishness. When it does not obey this assumption, we have to cautious, Maybe a possible
change in market direction.

A candlestick pattern is useless if its location is not correct, where it happens is the most important variable.
So we should analysis candlestick at support and resistance for opportunity either reversal or continuation of
the trend
AT resistance we expect the price to reverse or supply exceed demand confirms the supply or resistance
level. Like at the support we expect the price to reverse for confirming demand overcome supply
There are some key pointer should consider when trading reversal Means what candlestick action validates
our support and resistance level
Explained below

Point2: Clear Rejection from resistance in the form of the pin bar multiple rejections
In an established uptrend any Clear Rejection from resistance in the form of the pin bar confirm the
resistance level, it indicates buyers tried had but failed to close above the resistance

20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
MULTIPLE REJECTION SHOWS THAT BUYERS TRIED OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO PUSH THROUGH
THE LEVEL BUT FAILED
Point3: Price Unable to close above the resistance level or below the support level
When Buyers trying hard each time to close above the resistance level, each time they failed shows supply
coming and trying to dominate demand
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 20/27
20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
For bearish reversal. The price should breaks the previous candle low and close below the low at resistance.
It shows bullish strength completely lost
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 21/27
20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
When a reversal momentum candle formed from the key level it confirms the strength of the level of the
opposite party. When bullish strength candle formed from support it confirms the support level as strong
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 22/27
20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
There is a certain point also consider when price approaching support or resistance. That validated or
invalidated our support or resistance level
With a widespread up, while the price is getting close to the resistance, we would expect to see the
resistance broken due to the extra effort by buyers
https://dotnettutorials.net/lesson/candlestick-analysis-trading/ 23/27
20/02/2021 Candlestick Analysis in Trading - Price Action Analysis
If price hug the support and hold it disconfirm the demand and shows the presence
of supply
If there is strong support or resistance level, price should immediately react within a few candles
Price hold (unable to react) after a move down to support. Sellers overcoming buyers is the repeated
inability of prices to REACT away from the danger point(support). Such hugging of the support usually
leads to a breakout
