Candlesticks chart was a birth idea of a japenese rice trader called **Munehisa Homma**. He discovered that rice market is influenced by the emotions of traders in the course of recognizing the influence of demand and supply in rice in the market. In other to stay in line with rice price, he developed candlesticks (with different colors for easy identification) that displays price movement in a graphical manner and this candlestick patterns helped him and other traders to make essential decision in regards to rice price.

The bullish candlesticks is the one that traders use in buying stocks strategically in the financial market. The bullish candlestick pattern moves from a downward trend to an upward trend which can be seen as a reversal in trend of stock price. *** #### Bearish candlestick ![iMarkup_20210908_213131.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmSusbDmgf7VQxfWdfmGztheYU4sbaG2wAgHrJGuAFzpkd/iMarkup_20210908_213131.jpg) The bearish candlestick is another half of the two types of candlestick. It's that candle stick that's formed when a closing price is below an opening price. When the closing price for a particular time frame is lesser than the opening price, a bearish candlestick is always formed. **Anatomy of a bullish and bearish candlestick** ![Japanese-Candle-Stick-Bullish-Bearish.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVL9oHyNnwFk68Huok6dzKUYGY1Sa5m23a6uWrynkUFjc/Japanese-Candle-Stick-Bullish-Bearish.png) [source](https://tradepips.com/anatomy-of-a-japanese-candlestick/) A bullish and bearish candlesticks is made up of the open, the high, the low and the close. This different part play different roles. - the opening price : The opening price is the part of the candlestick that shows the start of price movement. - The Highest price : As the implies, the highest price is that part of a candlestick that shows the highest price recorded in a particular time frame. - Lowest price : This part is the opposite of the highest price.It shows the lowest price recorded in a particular time frame. - Closing price : Another amazing part of a candlestick is the closing price. The last price recorded is shown in the closing price. https://steemitimages.com/DQmT8mpPoErwrw63WDgSZaDb4uFNoJhSDNXJuJqqaq8FsGC/6.gif **REMARK** The japanese candlestick inventory is among the successful inventories that's helping traders to keep hold of the necessary details and information needed to know the movement in price in the financial market.
