 ❓ Why is it called that?

This formation, consisting of three candles, is 🗣called the “Abandoned Baby Candlestick Formation” because it appears to be abandoned by the first and third candlesticks, and due to the Doji that occurs in the second candlestick. The second candlestick is separated from the first and third candlesticks through a gap. See example picture

There are two types of Abandoned Baby Candlesticks:

  1. Abandoned Baby Candlestick Bearish 🐻
  2. Abandoned Baby Candlestick Bullish 🐮

 

 1️⃣Abandoned Baby Candlestick Bearish:

  ❓ How does it occur? 

This pattern occurs when there is a gap between the candlestick preceding a Doji-like candle. The preceding candlestick represents a small-bodied, long green (or white) candle, indicating an uptrend in the market. Next, the Doji appears with a gap from the highest price of the following candlestick. This situation indicates indecision between buyers and sellers during a certain period. The market's opening price being different from the closing price creates these gaps. The next candlestick is a long red (or black) candle with small shadows. This condition signifies that bears (sellers) are gaining 💪strength.

The Second Candlestick is a small-bodied candlestick with a long shadow, or a Doji, positioned just below or beside the first candle. There is a gap between them. This candle suggests that the market is becoming uncertain, and the strength of the downtrend is weakening. The Third Candlestick forms a long green (or white) candlestick above the second candle.

  ❓ Which steps should we follow to trade?

When the “Bullish Abandoned Baby Candlestick” appears on the charts during a downtrend, it is known as a reversal signal, indicating a possible turnaround or at least a short-term reversal. With the expectation that the price will continue to rise, if the price moves upward, breaking above the high of the third candle, it is commonly considered a buying opportunity. As a standard practice, a Stop Loss order is placed below the lower shadow of the bullish abandoned baby candle (doji) to limit probable losses. For those who wish to take less risk, a stop-loss order can be placed just below the low of the third candle in the pattern.

While forming the “Abandoned Baby Candlestick”, there are no distinct rules for setting profit targets, but generally, a 🌐 Fibonacci retracement level is often used as a profit target. This applies to both Bear and Bull markets.
