Candlesticks show how price moves during a set time. Each candle tells us four things: Open, High, Low, and Close (OHLC). • Green candles mean price closed higher than it opened (buyers in control) • Red candles mean price closed lower than it opened (sellers in control) The body shows the open and close, while wicks show price rejection. Candlesticks help us see who is winning, buyers or sellers.

Bullish candles show buyers are in control. A green candle means price closed higher than it opened. Common bullish patterns include Bullish Engulfing, Hammer, Morning Star, and Three White Soldiers. These patterns often appear after a pullback or downtrend and can signal a possible move higher when confirmed by trend or volume.

Bearish candles show selling pressure and signal a possible move lower. They form when sellers take control, often near resistance or after an uptrend. Common bearish patterns include Bearish Engulfing, Evening Star, Shooting Star, and Hanging Man. These candles often show long red bodies or upper wicks, indicating rejection of higher prices. Confirmation with volume or support breaks is key.

This lesson explains how price moves using support and resistance levels and market trends. You’ll learn how support acts as a price floor, resistance acts as a ceiling, and how trends form through higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows. Understanding these basics helps you spot potential entries, exits, and trend changes with more confidence.

Using everything you’ve learned in the first 4 lessons, study these charts and see if you can identify: • The trend • Key support and resistance • Balance vs imbalance • Common price action patterns There’s no rush and no right or wrong answer. The goal is to train your eyes to read price, not memorize names. Drop your screenshots or chart observations in the community comments and explain what you see and why. We will discuss it together. This is how real confidence is built.

Now let’s put everything we learned into a plan to execute a trade. This lesson compares trading with a plan versus trading on FOMO. A trading plan defines your entries, exits, risk, and rules before emotions take over. FOMO leads to chasing price, poor risk management, and inconsistent results. By using checklists, order types, and market context, traders stay disciplined, protect capital, and trade with intention instead of impulse. The goal is consistency, not excitement.
