A combination of Japanese candlesticks clearly and, most importantly, to determine the trend as upward and downward. There are also candlesticks that are formed on the chart, in periods of anarchy, i.e., when “the bulls can’t and bears do not want.” It is to such patterns apply candlestick pattern spinning Top.
Japanese candlesticks in Forex as a tool of graphic analysis used by traders very popular.

All traders know that candlestick chart analysis which allows, for example, to identify an uptrend (as well as downward) consist of several candles. But, at times, to inspect the mainstream of a single candle.
But we should warn the gullible novices in the Forex market is to consider the spinning Top as an indicator to determine a trend, or rather, lack thereof, it would be too presumptuous.
