The crossovers of the predicted 5-day moving average and the actual
5-day moving average based on closes are identical on both charts,
but the candlestick chart depicts the strength
or weakness of each
day’s price action more quickly at a glance. The long black or white
candlesticks stand out, emphasizing the importance of that period’s
price action, and a series of black or white candlesticks illustrates the
bearishness or bullishness of a trend more clearly.
Candlestick analysts have given various
patterns clever names and
have provided more descriptive characteristics for these patterns than
is the case in typical bar chart analysis. Both types of charts have their
double tops, inside days, gaps and other formations. But
candlestick
analysis ascribes more meaning to the candle “bodies” – price action
between the open and close – and to the “shadows” or “tails” – price
action that takes place outside of the open-close range for a period.
The chart in Figure 7.2 shows how candlesticks might be used to
analyze price action in conjunction with
other techniques such as
predicted and actual moving averages. If you get a moving average
crossover signal, it is instructive to see what that day’s candlestick
indicates. Or vice versa, if you see a particular candlestick pattern, it
is worthwhile to know what the moving averages on that day suggest
about future market activity. In this manner one signal can corroborate
the other and thereby give you more confidence to act.
