Their meaning comes from location and surrounding structure, not appearance alone.<\/p>\n<h2>Reading the Candle<\/h2>\n<p>A large body closing near its high indicates strong buying during that interval. A long upper wick shows rejection from higher prices, but it becomes useful only when it occurs near a relevant area.<\/p>\n<p>Compare a candle with recent average range. A candle that looks large in isolation may be normal for the instrument and session.<\/p>\n<h2>Confirmation and Invalidation<\/h2>\n<p>Engulfing candles, pin bars, and inside bars can help time an entry. They are stronger when aligned with trend, support or resistance, liquidity, and volatility conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Place invalidation beyond the structure that makes the setup wrong. A visually attractive pattern with poor reward-to-risk should still be skipped.<\/p>\n<h2>Practical Checklist<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Evaluate location first.<\/li>\n<li>Compare range with recent candles.<\/li>\n<li>Require acceptable reward-to-risk.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"fxp-risk-note\"><strong>Risk note:<\/strong> Educational content does not guarantee trading results.
