TA Challenge: How to use bullish candlestick patterns?
Basic Principles
Relying solely on visual patterns can be risky for traders. Before we consider trading bullish candlestick patterns, it's important to keep in mind two significant principles:
1. A valid bullish reversal pattern should arise during a downtrend; otherwise, it might indicate a continuation pattern instead.
2. Most bullish reversal patterns require confirmation through a subsequent bullish price rise supported by high trading volume.
Here are some useful indicators to help traders distinguish true reversal patterns from false signals:
Volume
Rising trading volume during the pattern development stage is typically viewed favorably by traders, as it can validate the pattern's significance (and potential uptrend). As shown above, the hammer pattern formed a reversal, supported by a significant increase in trading volume.
RSI
When trading the three white soldiers pattern, it's important to be aware that a robust upward move may lead to a temporary overbought condition. For example, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) could exceed the 70.0 level. In certain scenarios, a short-term consolidation phase may follow the three white soldiers pattern, but the overall bias in the short- and medium-term is likely to remain bullish.
Resistance level
To assist in overcoming the limitations of visual patterns, traders should consider using bullish candlestick patterns in conjunction with other technical indicators such as trendlines, Moving Averages, and Bollinger Bands. For example, a trader might look for an upcoming area of potential resistance before establishing a long position. If the pattern emerges on low volume near-term resistance, the trader may refrain from committing until the breakout is more definitively verified.
