Candle hunting sounds like some sort of freaky hobby, when really we’re talking about looking for candle patterns.
The AUD/JPY has had a couple in recent bearish bounces.
First off, to be clear, the trend is down and that’s the mood we want to be in here (… not down, but bearish) Name of the game is to find a bearish signal.
Candles are NOT the entry signals. They do not supersede the studies and are not stronger, technically, than either the studies or support and resistance.
Candles are meant to be little helper bees, confirming other stuff. If you get a signal, it is more powerful accompanied bya candle pattern.
Case in point, if using the MACD and Stochastics, they both rounded lower heading for red arrows as the price bounced down from resistance recently. There’s an entry signal. They were accompanied by a beautiful evening star (first green oval on the price) and by a so-so harami (second price oval). I put ovals on the studies showing the entry signals that occurred with them.
Hopefully we will see some another candle pattern with a bounce down in the next day or two. The candle pattern that just happened today? A hammer.
