All About Longed Legged Doji Candlestick pattern

Candlesticks are a key term for technical analysis and trading. A candlestick is a chart that displays the open and closing prices of stocks, as well as the high and lowest for a given time period.

Candlesticks are a Japanese tool that merchants used to track rice prices. They have become a very popular part of technical analysis around the world. A candlestick chart is a graph that shows the price movements for one day.

What is a candlestick chart?

1. The body and shadows of a candlestick chart are what distinguish it.

2. This is the wide portion, also known as the real body. It shows the price movements between the opening and the closing of each trading day.

3. These lines, which are protruding and thin, are known as shadows. They represent the high and low prices of the day.

4. The wick is the upper shadow or line, and the tail is the lower.

There are many types of candlestick patterns. One of these is the long-legged doji. In Japanese, the word doji means an anomaly or mistake. However, in trading terminology, doji refers only to an unusual situation in which open and close stock prices are identical. This indicates that neither bulls nor bears are in control of the market. One of five doji candlestick patterns is the long-legged doji. Other options include standard doji (dragonfly doji), gravestone doji (gravestone doji) and price doji.

What's the long-legged doji candle ?

The long-legged doji candlestick patterns looks like a cross. Here's how you can break it down:

1. The body is either very small or it doesn't even exist.

2. The candle's middle-range price range includes the close and open.

What does this say about the market.

A doji candle with a long leg has very long shadows. It is indicative of two equally powerful forces, but they are in conflict. It reflects indecision.

If a long-legged doji forms during strong uptrends or downtrends, it indicates that there is an attempt to reach equilibrium between supply/demand. This scenario is a strong indicator that the trend is reversing.

If the long-legged doji candle appears in a bullish trend, it could signal a reversal. Although the buying pressure is stronger initially, traders begin selling their positions soon after fearing a trend reversal. This causes a drop in prices. The closing price is pushed back to its opening price by a tug-of-war between the two pressures.

How do you trade the long-legged doji ?

• - A long-legged doji indicates indecision. As such, traders could wait and see to see if the price changes beyond this doji's high and low. If the price rises above the doji, you can enter a long trade. If it falls below, a short trade may be possible.
• - Apply a moving average to the chart and check if a long-legged doji enters it. It could indicate that the price may break through or rebound. To get an understanding, you can look at the end of the next session.
• The long-legged doji could be seen near the resistance and support regions. If the price rises to form a long-legged doji near a resistance level, then it is more likely that the price will slide.

The key takeaways from

The long-legged doji candlestick pattern, also known as the tug of war between bulls and bears, is an indicator of indecision. This pattern forms when prices move beyond or below the closing and opening prices, and then the closing price eventually moves close to or at the opening price. This pattern can be used by traders alone or combined with another doji candlestick pattern to determine if there are any reversals of the trend. A doji can be used by itself as a neutral pattern. However, you need to consider the historical prices to see how the market might behave in the future.
