# Candlestick hints

## Pressure from large players

<figure><img src="/files/d0dded768b170dacc8d5e75daa6962d94e464ee5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Shows who has greater influence on the price within a specific candle and helps understand the current balance of power between buyers and sellers:

* The color of the circle shows who is dominating at the moment: <mark style="color:green;">**green circle**</mark>🟢 - buying pressure, <mark style="color:red;">**red circle**</mark>🔴 - selling pressure
* **Circle size** shows the strength of the pressure: a small circle - weak pressure, a large circle - strong pressure
* Use it for additional confirmation when opening trades - when the dominant side changes, a trend reversal is possible
* As long as there is pressure in the direction of the trade, it is too early to take profit; when pressure from the opposite side appears, you should either close the position or reduce risk.

## Pump Signal

Analyzes volume and volatility and helps detect zones where large players are building their positions in the market, which may indicate a possible impulse rise:

* Shows the moment **of a possible rise**
* Helps you lock in profit on a trade in time and avoid false breakouts
* Shows how major market participants act, helping you trade more consciously

## Dump Signal

<figure><img src="/files/08296bce177687facfa051c94aef730b2b5f195c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Analyzes volume and volatility, helps detect zones where major market participants deliberately create false moves to confuse small traders and force out the "weak hands":

* Is a strong sell signal - opening long positions is definitely not worth it, better to wait it out <mark style="color:red;">**manipulations**</mark>, until the market calms down
* May indicate an upcoming <mark style="color:red;">**price dump**</mark> - you can open sell trades if there are additional confirmations
* Helps avoid trading in false breakout conditions or sharp <mark style="color:red;">**price "spikes"**</mark>

## Divergences

<figure><img src="/files/bbfaabbb50504e12f356ab0613f5724967482944" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is one of the strongest technical analysis signals - it заранее indicates trend exhaustion and a possible reversal by analyzing discrepancies between price and the readings of 11 oscillators:

* **The number in the circle** shows how many divergences the indicator found - the more divergences, the stronger the trend exhaustion signal
* **Circle color** shows the sentiment: <mark style="color:green;">**green color**</mark> - bullish divergences, <mark style="color:red;">**red color**</mark> - bearish divergences
* If the circle is **filled** - the divergences are confirmed by the money flow - the "king of divergences" - this is a strong signal
* Helps you see in advance when the trend is losing strength and predict a reversal
* Helps you lock in profit in time and open a trade in the right direction
* Works best in sideways markets and in the direction of the trend (it is noisy against the trend)

## How to trade divergences

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/ca570d580d5c50dc5ef7adc26cc4f60ebcd2e6bc" alt="" width="508"><figcaption><p>An example of trading by the signal after divergences have formed</p></figcaption></figure></div>

We use signals and **the divergence indicator:**

\- when <mark style="color:green;">**bullish divergences**</mark> appear below, wait for a <mark style="color:green;">**BUY**</mark> signal and open a <mark style="color:green;">**long**</mark>

\- when <mark style="color:red;">**bearish divergences**</mark> appear above, wait for a <mark style="color:red;">**SELL**</mark> signal and open a <mark style="color:red;">**short**</mark>

💡The more divergences appear - the stronger the signal

💡Works best as a trend continuation and in sideways markets on higher time frames

💡Experienced traders can enter trades earlier, without waiting for the signal
