Candlestick Strategies: Key Reversal Patterns

Covered in this video:

1

Two types of key reversals

There are both bullish and bearish key reversal patterns. A Bullish key reversal is formed when the current period lows trade below the prior period's lows only to reverse and close positive and at, or very close, to the highs of the period. A Bearish key reversal is formed when the current period highs trade above the prior period's highs only to reverse and close at, or near, the lows of the period.

The key reversal is a high probability trade signal. Sometimes.

It is very important to note that this is only the case when it occurs at historical support and resistance levels. We cannot overstate this enough. It is ultra important to know where your support and resistance levels are when you are trading with a key reversal. This increases your probability with profits, and if you are wrong, you know exactly where to put your stop-loss.

Don't jump in with two feet

This example shows how to effectively use the bullish key reversal, and also demonstrates how to wait for the correct market signal. The first key reversal occurs on the left, but doesn't close out near the previous week's highs. So wait for a pullback, which we see at the second green arrow, putting in a higher low.  Drawing a resistance line, following the down trend, allows us to set a breakout point. Once the trade is moving above that line, we are game-on for the upside.

Reversal Candlesticks can sometimes indicate bottoms being formed

One final example from reversal candlesticks is sometimes they can indicate a bottom being formed, rather than only implying a move in the opposite direction. Here you see two bottoms being formed by the tails of the reversal candlesticks, which then prompts us to look for a directional breakout at resistance (the top line) levels).

Netted 10k in 30 days

Thanks so much for your perspective. I've probably netted about $10k in the 30 days since I've started using your service--which is awesome for me. Just wanted to pass along my thanks.

I made the right choice. Worth every penny.

Hey Bob,
I have to say I am impressed with the way you strategize. Within the past year I have stopped impulse buying and selling intraday. The saving on commissions alone offsets much of my membership fee. Your insight and analysis are truly outstanding. I made the right choice by upgrading to Gold Level as your bearish analysis on (CMG) saved me countless amounts of dollars. Worth every penny.
