Candlestick Patterns Explained

Problem-based introduction

Beginners see many candlestick names and get confused which ones matter. This article explains high-probability candlestick patterns in simple Hinglish with GOLD (XAU/USD) chart examples.

Step-by-step explanation

  1. Single-candle patterns: Doji, Hammer, Shooting Star — what they signal.
  2. Two/three-candle patterns: Engulfing, Morning Star, Evening Star.
  3. How to validate: Confirm with volume, higher timeframe, or follow-through price.

Real trading logic (GOLD example)

Example: On daily XAU/USD, a bullish engulfing near support with rising volume gives a structured long setup — use stop below the pattern low and size per risk rules.
