The "6 Candle Rule" is a method used to identify trend reversals in price action by observing specific sequences of candlestick patterns over a span of six candles. Here's a quick breakdown:
1. **Sequence Analysis**: It involves looking at sequences of bullish (up) and bearish (down) candles over a six-candle period.
2. **Bullish Trend Reversal**: If, within those six candles, there are two consecutive bullish candles, then two bearish candles, followed by two more bullish candles, it signals a potential uptrend.
3. **Bearish Trend Reversal**: Conversely, if there are two consecutive bearish candles, then two bullish candles, followed by two more bearish candles, it signals a potential downtrend.
This pattern helps traders identify potential shifts in market direction by capturing the transitional movements that indicate a reversal of an existing trend.
