Stick Sandwich on February 4th for Bull Gangs

#1
I am glad, that the effect of hammer was lasted yesterday with NIFTY surging more than 100 points by finally engulfing 2nd February candle.

Thanks to Oguru for opening our eyes to profitable trades in just 2 days time.

Today we had a downturn but the closure was somewhat near to what was in FEB-02. This would create a Bearish sentiment in our mind but it is not the case as it seems.

This type of pattern is known as STICK SANDWICH Candlestick. Here is a brief on it below. For sake of visual interpretation the candles are referred as black and white. But in real sense it's up to individuals to configure their charting interface. So in literal sense BLACK=RED and WHITE=GREEN.

Here is the description :-
The Stick Sandwich as in (image attached) looks somewhat like an ice cream sandwich. It consists of two dark candles with a white candle in between. The closing prices of the two black candles are equal/nearby. This demonstrates an obvious support price. The probability of a reversal in the trend is high from this area.


Here is the Criteria :-
a) A downtrend is concluded with a large black candle followed by a white candle. The white candle opens above the black candle close and closes above the black candles open.
b) The final day completely engulfs the white candle and closes at the same level as the previous black candle.


What Pattern says in Psychological fashion?
The bears have been in control for awhile. At the end of the downtrend, the last black candle is followed by a large white candle. The white candle opens higher than the close of the last black candle. It trades up for the rest of the day, closing above where the previous day opened. This action makes apparent to the bears that the downtrend may be coming to an end. The next day opens higher but trades down for the rest of the day. It cannot close lower than the previous low close of two days prior. The shorts take notice and start covering upon any buying strength over the next couple of days.

We may need a confirmation for Sandwich pattern to work but most likely it's evident that bulls are now in control of market and a immediate reversal from current trend is resultant.

We can also take last two candles and consider it as Opening Maribozu. As per general market theory, closing Maribozu is a much stronger than opening Maribozu. But I would like to define them to let the smart traders know.

Closing Marubozu
The Closing Marubozu has no shadow at its closing end. A white body does not have a shadow at the top. A black body does not have a shadow at the bottom. In both cases, these are strong signals corresponding to the direction that they each represent.

Opening Marubozu
The Opening Marubozu has no shadows extending from the open price end of the body. A white body would not have a shadow at the bottom end; the black candle would not have a shadow at its top end.Though these are strong signals, there are not as strong as the Closing Marubozu

Wishing a happy trading ahead.

Thanks Surya.

No.. we are not same... oguru seems to be real options guru and strategist. Because only just 2 posts on market direction in this community helped me a lot to plan strategy and execute successful trades.

I thought of following him, so I am posting reality so that smart traders and investors get more enrichments and we too get good feedback and opinions on market thoughts as it fairly said MARKET HAS IT'S OWN MIND.

Have a lucky trades.

Thanks,

Past records indicates that even Dow and Nasdaq are 2% up, our market is sinking 2% and vice-a-versa. I don't understand why the US / Europe stock market is linked sentimentally with our market. It's just that our so called democratic media needs to link bad with bad and good with good which infact gives us the way to comfort thinking in times of trouble. Anyway... it's a long discussion with never ending conclusive thought.

I am not sure whether it will hold good or bad tomorrow, thatz why I mentioned that this pattern needs "confirmation". The point is, Bulls are still head on head with bears, if bears are successful in breaking the psychological barrier of 4766 support, then the downtrend will be immense.

So if your stop loss is set in long position, then it will definitely hit or you yourself is a better judge on cutting losses and re-enter at next level.

This time the media and free analysts have a reason to blame Dow / Nasdaq that they are responsible for BSE/NSE's downfall.

Good Luck!

Vinnie,

Thanks for your post and your analogy is good towards sandwich. By definition your post and the sandwich pattern are same.

I would also like to add : The Hammer's effect is still intact and the Hammer-friday volume was not broken by any single day's candle (white or Black). In addtion to the strong signal of Hammer and the definition of Sandwich also indicated the same reversal pattern, I would say the bullish trend in intact.

But this really depends on today's volume and the length of today's candle. I am want to write an article of this weeks outlook in terms of candle analysis.

I was checking for a similar sandwich pattern in the last 1 year. Please find the attached one and let me know what do you think.

Thanks Vinnie. I am already following oguru in his blog..
I actually wanted mention to you about similar patterns (complete reversal of sandwich) on Jan14-15-16, Jun 18-19-22, Aug 18-19-20. But what I did notice was continuation of the final layer.. ie if red between blues, blue contonued (mostly) and today was complete gap down.. ie hte bars didn't touch down there is a physical gap and was wondering what was in store for the next week.
Perhaps Oguru can explain (he has already posted the similar identification).
Thanks and keep the good work

Hey Oguru -

The sandwich pattern which are shown in image are realistic. It's a definite Bullish reversal pattern and it do need some kind of confirmation in the form of white or black candle. What happened today was not a disaster as repeatedly blabbered by media / free analysts. If you happen to notice that intra-day chart which signifies that the first trade was little gap and immediate gap down. So it was a reactive situation which occurred because of the negative sentiments prevailing across the globe... especially Dow magic.

The market in the noon was pretty much low to 4692+.. and considering the volume in mind it got picked once the nifty started bouncing and recovered almost 40/50 points. But again the low volume traders subsequently concluded with profit booking. So what happened here is that the panic seller initiated but the grip of panic didn't hold much long. So bulls retreated and kept the market steady. If at all there would have been a reason for selling market, then it would have come off with heavy volume, which didn't happened at all.

So considering the fact of hammer and stick sandwich in mind, I would say market did gave a confirmation while recovering from the day's low and finally settling at nearest low point i.e. 4818.

So to sum it up, I agree with Oguru that the Bullish trend is still intact. It can only be broken once volume emerges with bearish trend. Dow and Europe are on it's negative path, so I believe that our Fundamentalists or fundmental traders / investors may take a "Cautiously Optimistic" route towards selling.

Hey Surya,

Thanks.

I saw the pattern happened on the dates mentioned by you. Your analysis is correct. If you see August pattern it's quite perfect and previous dates has confirmations after forming the pattern. What happened yesterday was also the same, but reaction across negative fundamentals generated the negative mind set. As it is rightly said fundamentals has more strength than technicals.

I have replied oguru about what happened today. Please help by elongating opinions and observations.

We will see what's in store for us - hope the negative concoctions doesn't exist anymore, but definitely I would say the bulls are still fighting hard to show bears the door. If they succeed in keeping the support levels strong then definitely the pattern's strength will be proven.
