Candlestick Patterns: 45 Patterns का Complete Reference
Candlestick patterns 18th century Japan में Munehisa Honma द्वारा develop किए गए। आज भी work करते हैं क्योंकि वे market participant behaviour describe करते हैं — fear, greed, indecision — जो time के साथ change नहीं हुआ। यह article 45+ patterns cover करता है साथ संदर्भ के साथ।
Single-candle patterns (15)
Marubozu: long body, no wicks (one side dominated entire period). Hammer: small body top + long lower wick (after downtrend = bullish reversal candidate). Shooting Star: small body bottom + long upper wick (after uptrend = bearish reversal). Doji: open ≈ close (indecision). Spinning Top: small body + similar wicks both sides (lower-conviction doji). और 10 variations: Inverted Hammer, Hanging Man, Dragonfly Doji, Gravestone Doji, Long-Legged Doji, Four-Price Doji, High Wave, Belt Hold (bullish/bearish), Closing Marubozu, Opening Marubozu।
Two-candle patterns (8)
Bullish Engulfing: green body engulfs prior red body (after downtrend). Bearish Engulfing: red body engulfs prior green body (after uptrend). Bullish/Bearish Harami: small body inside larger prior body (momentum stalling). Piercing Line: red, then green closing >50% into red body (after downtrend). Dark Cloud Cover: green, then red closing >50% into green body (after uptrend). Tweezer Top/Bottom: two consecutive matching highs/lows.

Pattern reading का सबसे important rule
Pattern + level + trend + volume। Pattern alone candidate है। Pattern at significant level + agreeing trend + volume confirmation = signal। Stage 1 Module 3 इसे detail में cover करती है। Foundation Track Curriculum Book में Appendix A सभी 45 patterns का reference है।
Indian markets में specifically
Indian large-caps clean candlestick patterns produce करते हैं। Mid-caps slightly noisier। Small-caps often too thin for reliable pattern reads — liquidity threshold matters। F&O hours पर expiry-week distortions normal pattern reading को disrupt करती हैं — Stage 3 covers।
