CANDLESTICK WICKS
Candlestick wicks are vertical lines above and below the candle body on a candlestick chart.
2 TYPES OF WICKS:-
- Upper wick : Vertical line above the candle body
- Lower wick :Vertical line below the candle body
The length of the wicks relative to the candle body can provide insights into market sentiment:
- Long Upper Wick: Prices rose significantly but didn't hold, suggesting potential resistance or selling pressure at higher levels.
- Long Lower Wick: Prices dropped but rebounded, indicating buying interest or support at lower levels.
- Equal-Length Wicks: Balanced buying and selling pressures, signaling possible market indecision and a potential reversal.
- No Wick : Prices remained near open/close, indicating a strong consensus between buyers and sellers.
