You are trading stocks. You have bought low when the uptrend started. You won't to get out now before the trend reversal happens. But you are not sure. You don't won't to leave profits on the table by getting out early. So how to know that the trend is still in place and you can continue riding the trend for more profit. Candlestick charting and candlestick patterns can help you know whether the trend is about to continue to reverse itself. There are a number of trend confirmation patterns that you can use. Thrusting Lines Candlestick Pattern is on such pattern.
There are as usual two types of thrusting lines candlestick patterns-bullish as well as bearish. Bullish thrusting lines candlestick pattern is a long bullish candle on the first day. The second day or what you call the signal day, it is a bearish candle with a gap opening price higher than the high of the setup day. However, the close of the signal day should be above the midpoint of the setup day.
What this means is that on the first day, bulls had been in charge of the market. On the second day, bulls push a security to have a gap opening. This brings in some sellers but the bears are unable to push the price above the middle of the previous day. This means is that bulls are still around and are poised to take control of the market again.
When a Thrusting Line Candlestick Pattern is formed, it means that the trend is going to continue in the future. You can safely keep on riding the trend when you find this pattern.
Now, Bullish Separating Lines is another important trend confirmation candlestick pattern that you should master. On the first day or what you call the setup day or what you call the first day, you will find a long bearish candle. This long bearish candle means that the bears have been in total control of the market for the day.
However, on the signal day or the second day, you will find a bullish candle. This bullish candle has got an open that is equal to almost equal to the open of the first day or the setup day. This is the feature that is used to identify the Separating Lines Pattern.
But on the second day, bulls start massive buying making the opening price equal to the opening price on the first day. Now, the bulls are in total control of the market meaning that the uptrend will continue.
Now both these candlestick patterns are rare and do not appear frequently. But when they appear during an uptrend, it means that the uptrend is going to continue. In the same way, bearish thrusting lines and bearish separating lines are formed in an opposite manner and confirm the continuation of the downtrend.
