Doji Candlestick

Technical Analysis

A candlestick with an open and close nearly equal, signaling indecision — often watched as an early warning of fading trend momentum.

A doji is a candlestick where the open and close prices are virtually equal, producing a small or nonexistent body with wicks extending on one or both sides — visually representing a session where buyers and sellers essentially fought to a draw. It often signals indecision, and when it appears after an extended trend, it's frequently read as an early warning that momentum is fading. A doji is rarely a standalone signal; most price-action traders wait for the following candle to confirm the direction the indecision resolves into.
