Unit 3 · Multi-Candle Stories

Harami & Tweezers

Inside bodies and matching extremes: quieter, earlier warnings.

The harami (pregnant candle)

A very long candle, then a small one whose whole body fits inside it. The storm stopped mid-sentence. It is an early warning, not an entry trigger.

Tweezers — the double tap

Two adjacent candles whose lows (bottom) or highs (top) match almost exactly. The same price was tested twice and held. Best next to obvious levels.

Quick check

A bullish harami appears. The textbook treatment is…
  • A warning to watch — buy only a break above the mother candle
  • An instant all-in buy
  • Proof the uptrend is back
  • A reason to delete the chart

Haramis shift the balance of power; the trigger comes when price actually breaks the mother candle high.
