A big bullish candle has a body comprising over 70% of the day's range, with almost no wicks. Buying pressure sustained throughout the session, closing well above the open with very strong sentiment.
Strong bullish consensus. Bears couldn't resist the buying; sellers retreated completely as price rallied steadily all day. Typically appears after major positive catalysts or long-term resistance breaks. Heavy volume confirms broad participation.
Appearing at a resistance breakout, it's one of the strongest entry signals. Enter before close or at next day's open. After a MA squeeze, it confirms bullish trend with targets at new highs or 1.5× the body distance.
Watch for overextension: if price has already rallied sharply, a big bullish candle may mark the final chase. Always confirm with MA position. Low volume big candles are less reliable.
