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.
