Student’s Question:

Can candlestick patterns be used as conformational indicators?

Power Course Instructor’s Response:

Sure…

Take a look at the chart below…


chart 7 09 09


We see a very well established trendline in place for about 4 months.  A break of trendline support occurs when the bearish candle closes below the trendline.  That in itself is significant.  However, the pattern of which that candle is a part is an Evening Star.  Since an Evening Star is a bearish signal, this would lend even more significance to the break of support.
