What are candlestick chart patterns?

[Mdraghib]

Candlestick charts are one of the simplest ways to read price action. Each candle shows the market’s open, high, low, and close, helping you see who’s in control — buyers or sellers. When these candles form candlestick chart patterns like hammers, engulfing candles, or dojis, they can signal reversals or trend continuation. If you’re new, start by learning a few strong patterns instead of trying to memorize everything. It makes trading a lot clearer.
