Step 3: Understand the Logic [1 Min]

A Doji is a candlestick pattern that signals indecision or consolidation in the market.

  • What it looks like: The open and close prices are almost identical, leaving the candle with a very small body and long wicks.

  • What it means: Neither buyers nor sellers managed to take control during that period. The market paused, showing balance or uncertainty.

  • Why it matters: Dojis often appear at potential turning points or before strong moves, highlighting areas where momentum may shift.

The rationale: A Doji tells us the market is undecided — pressure from both sides canceled out. Traders watch for what happens next: continuation, reversal, or breakout.
