Essential Candlestick Patterns
Master these candlestick patterns to read gold price action like a professional. Each pattern is explained with real XAU/USD chart context.
Doji
A candle with nearly equal open and close prices, signaling market indecision. When found at support/resistance levels in gold, it often precedes a reversal.
- Open ≈ Close
- Long upper/lower shadows
- Strongest at key levels
Engulfing Pattern
A two-candle pattern where the second candle completely engulfs the first. Bullish engulfing at support or bearish engulfing at resistance are high-probability gold setups.
- Second candle engulfs first
- Direction change signal
- Volume confirmation important
Morning Star
A three-candle bullish reversal pattern. Starts with a bearish candle, followed by a small-bodied candle (star), then a strong bullish candle. Highly reliable in gold markets.
- Three-candle formation
- Gap between candles ideal
- Strong bullish confirmation
Hammer
A single candle with a small body and long lower shadow (at least 2x body). Found at the bottom of downtrends in gold, it signals buying pressure entering the market.
- Small body, long lower wick
- Found at downtrend bottoms
- Color less important than location
Shooting Star
The inverse of a hammer — small body with a long upper shadow. At the top of gold uptrends, it signals that sellers are starting to overwhelm buyers.
- Small body, long upper wick
- Found at uptrend tops
- Bearish confirmation needed
Three White Soldiers
Three consecutive bullish candles with progressively higher closes. In gold, this pattern signals strong buying momentum and often leads to extended moves.
- Three consecutive bullish candles
- Each closes higher
- Moderate to high volume
