Candlestick pattern
open-in-new
<p>In <a href="/facts/Finance/fLh1GgN8">financial</a> <a href="/facts/Technical_analysis/XQ9LlUgk">technical analysis</a>, a candlestick pattern is a movement in prices shown graphically on a <a href="/facts/Candlestick_chart/aT4QpnRm">candlestick chart</a> that some believe can help to identify repeating patterns of a particular market movement. The recognition of the pattern is subjective and programs that are used for charting have to rely on predefined rules to match the pattern. There are 42 recognized patterns that can be split into simple and complex patterns. </p>
