The Japanese candle stick is a popular name amongst every Forex, stock and crypto traders. This candlestick is specifically used by traders to trade the financial market. The person who improved this suggestion is a Japanese rice trader recognized as Munehisa Homma. He came up with the theory of using candlesticks to indicate market trends, the candlestick apprehends the market move through an illustrated display of the price actions making use of two coloreds (Red and Green) candles with several shapes or patterns. It is this pattern trader who labors in using technical analysis used to analyze the market trends and come up with production. Examples of the candlestick patterns include Bearish Engulfing pattern, Doji, Bullish Engulfing pattern, Hammer, spinning top, inverted hammer, hanging man, shooting star, moving star, Harami engulfing, etc. We still have a couple of others but these are the outstanding ones being utilized. *** ![increasing-bullish-candlestick-chart-pattern-candle-stick-graph-candle-stick-graph-trading-chart-to-analyze-trade-113713866.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNMnqcgJK9h27MLsQqy9qLgx42PNUJ4cgYaUEgNJyLV75/increasing-bullish-candlestick-chart-pattern-candle-stick-graph-candle-stick-graph-trading-chart-to-analyze-trade-113713866.jpg) *** _{[source](https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.ig.com/en/trading-strategies/japanese-candlestick-trading-guide-200615.amp)} ***

Looking at the screenshot above, we can observe that the candlestick consists of High, Close, Open, and Low points on each of the Bullish and Bearish candlestick respectively. I will briefly talk about what each of them means in the course of this assignment. The Japanese candlestick over time has remained the most used trading tool by Stock, Forex, and crypto traders. The reason behind this will be discussed subsequently. *** **NOTE** *** The Japanese candlestick can be utilized to analyze the market action in any time frame. Besides, If the time frame is set for 30mins, it will take 30mins for one isolated candle to be formed, and if the time frame is set for 15mins, it will take 15 mins for one candle to be formed, the same method is applicable in every other time frame. ![C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iP9HfWtVKu1afPyjPwCDD8Q338oQgqXz4kj5WTVERczt7b8Q5EAqZpJoqttNuXsaJ3jkGKyMsUa.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTBceA25WtuCoiPFmebnCoB15fX7i55tj9wtVu7zN1gC6/C3TZR1g81UNaPs7vzNXHueW5ZM76DSHWEY7onmfLxcK2iP9HfWtVKu1afPyjPwCDD8Q338oQgqXz4kj5WTVERczt7b8Q5EAqZpJoqttNuXsaJ3jkGKyMsUa.png) ***B.

I will be examining them one after the other involving their anatomy. *** BULLISH CANDLESTICK *** ![Screenshot_20211116_091534.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSshztpJUudxctLGHdkU5cCQQkRE7rtmAymbdMYsLbB3J/Screenshot_20211116_091534.jpg) *** _{screenshot from trading view} ***

The image above illustrates a procession of bullish candles constructing a Bullish trend in the 30M time frame. The Bullish candle is being used to exemplify an upward trend in the market or notify the traders that the bulls/buyers are bringing over the present market circumstance and are bigger than the sellers. Not only that the bullish candle commonly boosts or pushes up the price of the trading product. Most times, we can see the bullish candle at the bottom of a low trend. *** BEARISH CANDLESTICK *** ![Screenshot_20211116_092339.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTtP3UQZSzeCCh4iCkssL75NMKaf2wqaQqpXeipg8qWpX/Screenshot_20211116_092339.jpg) *** _{screenshot from trading view} ***

From the picture uploaded the candles in the red color symbolize the bearish candle. It is being used to exemplify a downward trend on the market chart or it notifies the traders that the bears (sellers) are about to take over or remake the current market situation. Once the market goes bearish or goes on a beer run, the prices of the asset or commodity trading then will automatically fall or reduce. The bearish candle can be seen at the top of an upward trend. *** ANATOMY OF THE BULLISH CANDLESTICK *** ![decreasing-bearish-candlestick-chart-pattern-candle-stick-graph-candle-stick-graph-trading-chart-to-analyze-trade-113713852.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUDFnrag9H8qrvXMD3jzvcAppKFaNknMH8S7hy4HsxGcY/decreasing-bearish-candlestick-chart-pattern-candle-stick-graph-candle-stick-graph-trading-chart-to-analyze-trade-113713852.jpg) *** _{[source](https://www.dreamstime.com/increasing-bullish-candlestick-chart-pattern-candle-stick-graph-candle-stick-graph-trading-chart-to-analyze-trade-image113713866)} ***

From the picture Taking Look at the bearish candle image uploaded we can also pick four major elements which are High and Open (Upper shadow), Low and Close (Lower shadow), the anatomy of the bearish candlestick is kind of different from the bullish candlestick based on the upper and lower shadow system. I will be examining the four components shortly below. HIGH: It symbolizes the highest degree a special asset has reached within a time frame. LOW:It also implies the deepest part a unique asset has achieved within a period. OPEN: It is also understood as the opening price, this connotes the opening of price action within a period. For a bearish candle, the opening price can be organized at the top of the candle. CLOSE: Also realized as the closing price, for a bearish candle, the closing price is constantly at the underside of the candlestick and the closing price commonly falls below the opening price for a bearish candle. *** **NOTE** *** There are some outstanding cases whereby some candles occur to have no wick either on the upper shadow or lower shadow. The candle stick having no upper shadow is commonly cited as 'shaven head' while the candlestick with no lower shadow is naturally cited as 'shaven bottom'. This can be seen in the picture I uploaded. ![Japanese-Candlesticks-Copy-1.jpeg.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmayboraRBqPdFeihKZ8EZcE1AJzgQ1r5k4D8GVpai2jyx/Japanese-Candlesticks-Copy-1.jpeg.jpg) *** _{[source](https://www.elearnmarkets.com/blog/japanese-candlestick/)} ***

Its implication cannot be overemphasized as it has renovated the technique of trading. However, this course has encouraged me to privately know more about candle sticks and I will proceed to more research about them and know how to effectively relate them to get reasonable outcomes.
