Riding a trend is tricky in the sense that you don’t know when to get out. If you get ou late, you are going to lose all the unrealized profits that you had made while riding the trend plus a substantial loss. However, if you get out early, you will be leaving profits on the table. So how to know when to get out and when to continue riding the trend. Candlestick pattern can help you in identifying trend confirmation and trend reversal. Thrusting Lines Candlestick Pattern is a trend continuation or what you call a trend confirmation pattern that can be highly profitable if you can spot it correctly.
In case of a true Bullish Thrusting Lines, the close of the second day or what you call the signal day is always above the midpoint of the first day or the setup day. Just like anyother candlestick pattern, a Thrusting Lines Candlestick Pattern can be bullish as well as bearish. In case of a Bullish Thrusting Lines, the first day or what you call the signal day, there is a long bullish candle. On the signal day, it is a bearish candle with a gap opening price that is higher than the first day or what you call the setup day.
What this means is that on the first day, bulls had been in charge of the market. On the second day, bulls push a security to have a gap opening. This brings in some sellers but the bears are unable to push the price above the middle of the previous day. This means that bulls are still around and are poised to take control of the market again.
When a Thrusting Line Candlestick Pattern is formed, it means that the trend is going to continue in the future. You can safely keep on riding the trend when you find this pattern.
Now, Bullish Separating Lines is another important trend confirmation candlestick pattern that you should master. On the first day or what you call the setup day or what you call the first day, you will find a long bearish candle. This long bearish candle means that the bears have been in total control of the market for the day.
However, on the signal day or the second day, you will find a bullish candle. This bullish candle has got an open that is equal to almost equal to the open of the first day or the setup day. This is the feature that is used to identify the Separating Lines Pattern.
However, on the signal day, the bulls come into play and start buying. There is so much bullishness in the market that the opening price of the signal day is equal to the opening price of the set up day. From that point on the bulls dominate the market and the uptrend continues.
Now both these candlestick patterns are rare and do not appear frequently. But when they appear during an uptrend, it means that the uptrend is going to continue. In the same way, bearish thrusting lines and bearish separating lines are formed in an opposite manner and confirm the continuation of the downtrend.
