Doji
A candle that opens and closes at nearly the same price, forming a cross — a sign of indecision and a possible turning point.
A doji has little or no body because buyers and sellers finished the session in a stalemate. After a strong trend, a doji can flag that momentum is fading and a reversal or pause may be near.
Variants carry extra meaning: a dragonfly doji (long lower wick) leans bullish, a gravestone doji (long upper wick) leans bearish. Context and confirmation matter more than the doji alone.
On StockSetups
StockSetups recognizes doji variants among its candlestick patterns and folds their bias into a signal's confirmation read, never as a standalone buy.
