Overall, the bias in prices is: Upwards.
A big white candle occurred.
This is generally considered bullish, as prices closed significantly higher than they opened.
If the candle appears when prices are “low,” it may be the first sign of a bottom.
If it occurs when prices are rebounding off of a support area (e.g., a moving average, trendline, or retracement level), the long white candle adds credibility to the support.
Similarly, if the candle appears during a breakout above a resistance area, the long white candle adds credibility to the breakout.
During the past 10 bars, there have been 5 white candles and 5 black candles. During the past 50 bars, there have been 23 white candles and 27 black candles for a net of 4 black candles.
Three white candles occurred in the last three days.
Although these candles were not big enough to create three white soldiers, the steady upward pattern is bullish.
