47 questions. Real chart candles, not textbook examples. Identify the pattern, read the story, know what it's telling you.
Reading candles is a skill, not a memory test. Charts never give you perfect textbook candles. Bodies are weird sizes, wicks don't line up, colors don't match what you expected. This quiz throws real-looking candles at you: pink-bodied hammers, black-bodied bullish rejections, doji-ish spinning tops. Your job is to see the shape, read who was in control, and call what the market is telling you. Every wrong answer shows the full breakdown.

Part 1: Candle Anatomy & Color
Every candle is built from four prices. Can you read them?
How to read these
The body = result of the fight. Wicks = what was attempted and rejected. Color = who won (pink closed higher, black closed lower). Close > Open is bullish, Close < Open is bearish.

Part 2: Pattern Identification
Name that candle. Real chart candles, not textbook examples.
How to identify
Look at where the body sits (top, middle, bottom), how long the wicks are on each side, and whether the body is large, small, or nonexistent. Context (trend direction) changes the name, a hammer and a hanging man look identical. The difference is where they appear.

Part 3: Reading Strength & Rejection
Strong, weak, or rejection, and is it the real thing?
The rejection checklist
Real rejection: (1) wick is 2x+ the body, (2) at a meaningful location (top of an uptrend, bottom of a downtrend, or a previous high/low), (3) closes in the upper/lower third of the range, (4) next candle confirms, (5) wick is one-sided only. If it fails any of these, it is not rejection.

Part 4: Context & Application
Putting it all together. What is the market telling you?
The one rule
Shape tells you what happened. Location tells you what it means. A hammer at the bottom of a downtrend is a reversal. The same shape in the middle of a range is noise. Context is everything.
Question 36Context
Same candle shape, two different locations. Where does this mean **bullish reversal**?
Why
Question 37Context
A big pink body with no wicks forms during a clean uptrend. What is this telling you?

Question 38Context
After an extended uptrend, you see this candle form. What is it warning you about?
Why
Question 39Context
Price has been in a clean downtrend for several candles. You see this form. What's it telling you?
Why
Question 40Context
Price wicks up into the highs of an uptrend and closes with a long upper wick. What happened to the traders who bought that wick up?
Why
