DOJI CANDLESTICK PATTERN

A Doji is a single candlestick pattern in technical analysis where the open and closing price are virtually the same or extremely near to each other. As a result, a Doji's look is frequently in the shape of a cross or a variant thereof. Because the Doji candle opens and closes almost exactly in the same place, it indicates market hesitation. The bulls and bears are fighting for control of the market, but none has been successful in overwhelming the other and moving the market in their favor.

When the market starts, bullish traders drive prices up, while bearish traders reject the higher price and push it back down, forming a doji candlestick. It's also feasible that bearish traders are attempting to drive prices as low as possible, while bulls fight back and raise the price. In other words, the market has considered both upward and downward alternatives before'resting' in either direction. The shadow is formed by the upward and downward motions that occur between open and shut. When the price closes at about the same level as it opened, the body is created.

• A Doji is a cross-shaped candlestick pattern in which the opening and closing prices are equal or nearly equal.
• A Doji, when seen alone, suggests that neither the buyers nor the sellers are benefiting — it's a sign of uncertainty.
• Always evaluate other patterns and indications before acting on any signals, including the Doji candlestick chart pattern.
• There are three main forms of doji formations: grave stone, long-legged, and dragonfly.

The opening and closing prices are marked by a thick body on a Doji candlestick. The candle is colored white or green if the close is higher than the open. The candle is colored red or black if the open is below the close. The peak and low prices recorded throughout the candle's time period are shown by the shadows above and below the body of the candle.

The shadow is the vertical line of the doji pattern, while the body is the horizontal line. As the top symbolizes the highest price and the bottom represents the lowest, the length of the shadow might vary. The difference between the beginning and closing price is represented by the body. The height of this element can change, but not the width.

On a candlestick chart, doji candles come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Each doji gives the trader with varied information depending on where it appears. A plus sign, a T, or an upside-down T are all examples of dojis. A doji candlestick may suggest that the price is approaching a peak or bottoming point in certain circumstances. It also suggests that the price may swing sideways at other periods. The location of the doji inside a trend is crucial to its interpretation.

A doji can be one of the following kinds depending on where the open/close line sits.

• Doji, Grave Stone
• Doji, Dragon Fly
• Doji, Morning star
• Doji, Evening star
• Doji, Long-Legged

A doji, when viewed in isolation, indicates that neither buyers nor sellers are benefiting — it's a sign of hesitation or neutrality. When examined with other candlestick patterns, some traders feel the doji suggests an impending price reversal, however this isn't always the case. It might be an indication that buyers or sellers are developing traction in anticipation of a trend continuance.

It's vital to keep in mind that the doji candlestick doesn't supply nearly enough information to make a judgment. Always evaluate other patterns and indicators before acting on any signals, including the doji candlestick chart pattern, and make sure you stick to your trading plan and risk management technique.
