[evening star] Doji or Evening star?

[smbtnt 10]

Maybe this is the right place to ask about this candlestick.

Not sure if it has any significance but it sure looks like a temporary halt on proceedings.

Any ideas.

It always important to use candles in context. The day finished about a spinning top, that in itself is not that important. Now taking a quick look at the daily chart ( I use the INDU) you can see that price is at resistance so that might give me some more credence to this spinning top. Of course, depending on how/when to enter, where to put stops, and where to take profits is the real trick. Candles are just part of a trading plan.

Another look at the same, well similar, thing is the $SPX but my preference is to find areas of congestion rather than spike bottoms/tops. Most times this represent more traders trapped and a greater likelyhood a reaction. RSI(2) is signaling a sell which I would take on a close below todays low but expect only a retracement of the move off the swing low of 7/15/08. My wave count might be wrong, very possible , but if not I expect higher prices (1350 area?) after the retracement.

I dont have the slightest idea about wave counts or any of that stuff. Anyways, looks like that resistance level + candle pattern was pretty powerful today. Now where/if/when to take profits is a whole other topic.

 

 

Candles can be a very simplistic, yet powerful system for daily charts. Intraday, well that's a lot different.
