Candlesticks show trader psychology. Long lower shadows near support reflect rejection of low prices and signal possible reversal—especially when confirmed by volume or a bullish engulfing candle.
Bull flags indicate controlled pullbacks; a shorter flag suggests the trend remains strong. Buying near the lower flag line or after breakout-retest offers the best risk-reward.
Fake reversals are common—wait for confirmation and retests before entry.
Among indicators, volume, EMA 20/50, RSI (> 50), and Fibonacci (38–61 %) are most reliable for timing and confluence.
Each school adds perspective:
• SMC gives context (where smart money acts).
• Candlesticks reveal intent.
• Patterns + indicators refine execution.
Combined, they form a disciplined multi-layer trade plan.
