Bullish Candle
A candle where the close is higher than the open, indicating net buying pressure during the period.
A bullish candle (white or green) closes above its open. The real body spans open to close; wicks extend to the session high and low. It signals that buyers controlled the period and price moved net higher.
Size matters: a large-bodied candle with small wicks shows decisive buying; a small body shows indecision. Context — trend direction, volume, nearby support — determines how actionable a single bullish candle actually is.
