The tremendous volume of traders who utilize candlestick charts translate into predictable market movements based upon certain formations.

The following top 5 five candlestick formations are the most popular among technical analysts, and, therefore, have the highest probability of producing the most reliable and consistent results.
bearish indicator for similar reasons and is formed by a long white candlestick followed by a long black one that closes over halfway below the first candlestick. Engulfing Formations This pattern and the doji candlestick are likely top on the list of the Top 5 Most Consistent Candlestick Patterns. The bullish engulfing formation consists of a short blackbody candlestick followed by a taller white bodied candlestick that begins below and ends above the previous days trading range.This means prices on the second day opened lower than the first and closed higher. This is a highly bullish formation and indicates a long position should be considered. A bearish engulfing pattern would be the opposite with a short white bodied candlestick followed by a longer black bodied candlestick. Here the signal is bearish and consideration should be made for selling short. Hammer and Shooting Star Formations These patterns are basically short candles with one long wick. For the hammer, the wick points downwards, whereas for the shooting star, it points upwards. The hammer is considered bullish in that price action clearly was able to reverse all selling sentiment, while the shooting star would be viewed as bearish for a similar reasoning logic. Harami Formations A bullish Harami consists of a long black candlestick with a close near the low, followed on the next day by a short white candlestick. This indicator is interpreted as signaling that selling pressure dominated the market on the first day, but was halted on the second, suggesting that upward movement in prices will continue. A bearish Harami has the exact opposite structure and interpretation.
