The Dragonfly Doji Pattern is a great price reversal candle

in doji •  4 years ago 

A doji Dragonfly is a candlestick model that may suggest a likely price reversal. It is generated when the high, open and close prices of the commodity are the same. The long lower shadow indicates that during the candle era, there was violent sale. But it reveals that consumers were able to absorb the sale as the market closed near the open.

The dragonfly doji pattern does not happen often, but it is a warning sign that the trend will change direction when it does. The candle after a dragonfly must be confirmed by the reverse. The reversal signal is invalidated if the price increases on the validation candle.

The dragonfly doji reveals that the sellers were present early in the time, after a price fall, but the buyers had driven the price back to the open by the end of the session. During a downtrend, this suggests increased purchasing interest which could suggest a higher price movement.

During or immediately after the validation candle finishes, traders usually join markets. A stop loss can be put below the dragonfly's low if joining long on a bullish reversal. In general, a high-volume dragonfly doji is more accurate than a comparatively low volume one. Rather than depending on any one candlestick, it's necessary to look at the entire picture.

The dragonfly doji is not a regular phenomenon, so for detecting price reversals, it is not accurate. Often the size of the dragonfly and confirmation candle will mean that the entry point for a transaction is a long way from the place of stop failure. It may also be difficult to quantify the possible reward of a dragonfly exchange since candlestick designs usually do not have price goals.

When the low, open and close rates are the same, a gravestone doji happens and the candle has a long upper shadow. Both demonstrate potential reversals of patterns but must be checked by the candle.
