🛑 STOP Ignoring These Tiny Candles

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]Some candles look small almost like nothing happened but these candles are telling you a lot. They are called indecision candles and you need to know about them.

[00:00:13]All right. So the next candlestick type you really have to learn is a type called indecision candles. And these are candles like right here. And as you can see the these are candles with small bodies and with roughly equal wicks. And the most popular indecision candle is known as a dogee candle. You might have heard about it. So for example, this right here is an example of a dogee. You can see what makes a dogee special is that we actually have pretty much no real body. So you can see the body of the candle is pretty much just a line.

[00:00:49]And what this means is that the candle uh if you think about it, it simply means that the candle opened and closed at the same level. So the price action during this dogey maybe looked something like this. You know the candle started right here. Then during the candle it might have gone down, it might have go gone up like this. But before the candle closed, you can see that the price goes back to the exact same level. And this is basically what indecision candles are telling us. It is telling us that you know buying attempts, so attempts by the bulls to push the price up and selling attempts, so attempts by the bears to push the price down, these attempts basically cancel each other out. Or in other words, when we're seeing indecision candles, neither buyers or sellers hold control. So it means that, you know, no one is really in control.

[00:01:43]It's like a tugof war between the buyers and sellers. And here we have some other types of indecision candles. I already talked about the dogee, but we also have something known as spinning top candles.

[00:01:56]So this is basically pretty much like a doi candle, but in this case, we do have a slight real body. So a spinning top can be green or red, but they basically tell us pretty much the same thing as a dogee. You know, yes, one could argue that the red candle is a little bit more bearish than a dogee and the green spinning top candle is a little bit more bullish, but if you think about the story and psychology behind the price, all of these candles are telling us the same story. They they are telling us that neither the bulls or the bears are in full control. We have other types of indecision candles as well like for example highwave candles where we have, you know, very very large wicks. This actually tell us a little bit more about the price. To be specific, they tell us that we have higher volatility. So neither the bulls or the bears are in full control. But the price is moving very violently up and down. So yes, the in indecision candles can depending on how they look, they can tell us very uh you know different stories about the price. So for example, if you have a dogey that looks something like this compared to a dogey that looks something like this, it tells us a different story about the price. But what is true about both of these dois is that neither the bulls or the bears are in full control.

[00:03:13]And here one important thing to note here is that these candles are not directly tradable on their own. But that definitely doesn't mean that they are you know not useful. They are super useful because they can for example be an early warning that momentum is slowing or they can tell us things about support and resistance levels. They can tell us things about market structure and they are you know a very common and super important candle type to understand. And now and this is very important.
