Using Aligned Candle Wicks to Identify Possible Price Reversals

Summary

This brief description presents a pivot indicator based on candle-wick alignment. It searches for a group of candles whose wicks can all be intersected by a line, and treats that configuration as a possible sign that price may reverse. The indicator marks the resulting price pivot on the chart, while its settings let the user change how many candles are considered and how far back the search extends.

The document offers the pattern as a rule of thumb, but provides no formal definition of the line or wick tolerances, no examples with measured outcomes, and no backtest or comparison against a benchmark. It does not specify an entry trigger, stop placement, or market conditions where the signal may be more reliable. Traders should therefore regard the pattern as a visual hypothesis rather than a validated forecasting method; the number of candles and search period are adjustable parameters whose effects are not evaluated here.

Key ideas

• The indicator searches for a group of candle wicks that can be crossed by one line.
• The detected alignment is presented as a possible price reversal point.
• Users can adjust the candle count and historical search period.
• The description provides no quantified evidence that the pattern predicts reversals reliably.
