Matching low

after a decline: long down bar, then a down bar closing at the same price within equalPriceTolerance × trailing average range

Candlestick shape · 2 bars · ▲ bullish

Definition

The textbook label for this shape is ▲ bullish. The label describes the shape; it is not an instruction.

QuantZ does not claim this shape has predictive value. The detector reports that the bars met a definition; it says nothing about what follows.

The rule the detector applies

after a decline: long down bar, then a down bar closing at the same price within equalPriceTolerance × trailing average range

Thresholds are named by the option key the code reads. The values below are the ones the detector ships with, read at render from its defaults; every ratio is measured against the bar’s own range or the trailing average body, so the same numbers apply to a low-priced stock and to a high-priced coin.

  • bodyAvgPeriod = 14
  • longBodyRatio = 1
  • trendLookback = 5
  • equalPriceTolerance = 0.05

Prior trend

required · A prior move is required: the rule reads the bars before the shape, and the shape is not reported without it.

Rendered from the detector’s catalogue entry in src/lib/candlePatterns.ts. If the entry or a default changes, this page changes with it.
