I first truly understood candlestick charts when I grasped what Doji candles represent. Realizing that a Doji reflects indecision—especially after a strong move—changed how I read price action. From then on, candlesticks became less about memorizing patterns and more about understanding market psychology.
When I see a long upper shadow, my instinct is to pause and wait for the next candle to confirm. It can signal rejection or profit-taking, but without follow-through, it’s just information, not a trade. That patience has helped me avoid acting too early.
Looking back at NVIDIA’s price action, the pattern that most often tricks traders is a Doji after a long bullish candle. It looks like a top, draws people into exiting or shorting, and then the uptrend resumes. In strong momentum stocks, hesitation often means a pause—not a reversal.
