DUAL candlestick patterns!

To identify dual Japanese candlestick patterns, you need

to look for specific formations that consist of TWO
candlesticks in total.

Engulfing Candles

There are two types of Engulfing candles: Bullish Engulfing and Bearish
Engulfing.

The Bullish Engulfing pattern is a two candlestick reversal pattern that

signals a strong up move may occur.

It happens when a bearish candle is immediately followed by a larger

bullish candle.

This second candle “engulfs” the bearish candle. This means buyers are
flexing their muscles and that there could be a strong up move after a
recent downtrend or a period of consolidation.

On the other hand, the Bearish Engulfing pattern is the opposite of the
bullish pattern.

This type of candlestick pattern occurs when the bullish candle is

immediately followed by a bearish candle that completely “engulfs” it.

This means that sellers overpowered the buyers and that a strong move
down could happen.

Tweezer Bottoms and Tops

Tweezer patterns are two candlestick reversal patterns.

This type of candlestick pattern is usually spotted after an extended uptrend

or downtrend, indicating that a reversal will soon occur.

There are two types of Tweezer patterns: the Tweezer Bottom and the
Tweezer Top.

Notice how the candlestick formation looks just like a pair of tweezers!

Amazing!
The most effective Tweezers have the following characteristics:

The first candlestick is the same as the overall trend. If the price is moving
up, then the first candle should be bullish.

The second candlestick is opposite the overall trend. If the price is moving
up, then the second candle should be bearish.

The shadows of the candlesticks should be of equal (or near­equal) length.

Tweezer Tops should have the same highs, while Tweezer Bottoms should
have the same lows.
