How to read candlestick charts - Spinning Tops
Colour of the spinning tops candlestick isn't very important, this formation show the indecision between the buyers(bulls) & sellers in the market. When these patterns appear at the top of a market trend or at the bottom of the price trend it might that the price trend is coming to an end and it might soon reverse and begin heading in the other direction. However, it is better to wait for additional confirmation trading signals that the direction of a market has reversed before trading the trading signal from this chart formation.
Candlestick Stick Reversal Patterns Formations on Charts
When a black/red spinning top appears at the top of an upward trend, a change is more likely than if the candle is white/blue.
At the bottom of a downwards trend a white/blue spinning top shows that a reversal is more likely than when the color is black/red.
The reversal signal is validated by the next candlestick pattern setup formation, which closes below the neck line for a reversal setup in a downward trend and above the neck line for a reversal setup after the spinning tops candlestick closes.
The neck line is:
- For an Upwards Trend - The open of the previous candlestick that was drawn just before the spinning top candlestick.
- For a Downward Trend - The open of the previous candlestick that was drawn and formed just before the spinning top candlestick

Analyzing Gold/U.S. Dollar Trading - Every doji candlestick pattern shows that the market is unsure, because at the highest point, the buyers were in complete control, and at the lowest point, the sellers were in control, but neither could stay in control, and when the market closed, the price was the same as when it started for that trading time. This doji shows that the total price change for that candlestick trading time was zero pips, or just a very small range of 1 to 3 pips.
