How to Detect the Market Reversal by Doji


How to Detect the Market Reversal by Doji

When the general market or a security has virtually equal open price and close price, we say the Doji is formed. Please be mindful, the equality is not based on an absolute value. It should be within a thin range. A stock with $ 900 dollars like Google should have large cushion than the stocks with value lower than $10 dollars.

The Doji is treated as a significant market reversal indicator. It works more effectively when the market is in either violent upward market or destructive downward market, especially when the market movement is associated with large volume.

According to Wikipedia, we can use a doji in this way:

In a upward market, when the market or security trades to a higher high comparing the previous three trading day, but it fails to hold the high and closes in the lower 10% of that day’s trading range. Then the possibility of market reversal is high in the near future.

On the other hand, in a downtrend market, the market of security trades to a new low which is lower than the three previous trading days, the market holds well and closes in the upper 10% of that day’s trading range. Then there is a high likelihood for the market or security to make a turn.

The key is to watch the closing price.
