• Formation:

1)The second candlestick opens lower than the first but closes higher, surpassing the open and close of the first candlestick.

2)This suggests a reversal in market sentiment from bearish to bullish.


Significance:

1)The pattern indicates strong buying pressure and often signals a potential reversal to an upward trend, especially after a downtrend.

2)It suggests that bulls (buyers) have gained control, overpowering the bears (sellers).


Key Points for Recognition:

Location: Often found at the end of a downtrend or during a period of consolidation.

Volume: Higher trading volume during the formation strengthens the reliability of the pattern.

Confirmation: Traders typically wait for the next candlestick to confirm the uptrend before taking a position.


Trading Strategy:

Entry Point: After confirmation, consider entering a long position.

Stop-Loss: Place a stop-loss below the low of the Bull Sash pattern for risk management.

Target: Use previous resistance levels or Fibonacci extensions to determine potential price targets.
