You need to learn more than just candlestick patterns or indicator patterns. Asking WHO is on CONTROL of PRICE is the first step. This will tell you with a high degree of accuracy what price is most likely to do in the near term. Don' try to "predict". In fact get rid of that term altogether in your trading as all it does is mess with your emotions and establishes the wrong mental attitude. Professionals do not predict. Only amateurs and wanna be famous retail gurus and of course the famous financial people who want YOU to do the buying or selling in panic so they can become richer. Instead focus on who is in control of price over the past few days to about a week for swing trading. Study the history on the daily chart also so you can understand the information the chart is revealing to you over time. Once you understand who controls price, you can see in the past months what happened afterward. Then you can determine with a high degree of PROBABILITY a math term and used in many areas of research, the probability of the direction, gap or no gap risk, strength of the run, duration of the run, and point gain potential of swing trading that stock, as well as the risk to Profit ratio which you should always do before buying or selling short a swing style run.
