What is the "Rising Window" candlestick pattern?

Rising window is a candlestick pattern known as a bullish continuation formation. This pattern occurs in uptrends and signals that the uptrend is likely to continue. The markets are a battleground between bullish and bearish supporters. Whichever side dominates in this battle, the market reflects that situation. When bulls prevail, prices start to rise. The Rising Window candlestick pattern allows us to predict this rise in advance.


Why is it called "Rising Window"?

I can imagine you are wondering where the name "Rising Window" comes from. This name is derived from a gap in the pattern's structure. This gap, which occurs between two bullish candlesticks, resembles a window. That's why the pattern is called "Rising Window".


How is the "Rising Window" candlestick pattern formed?

The Rising Window pattern appears in a bullish trend and indicates a high probability that the upward trend may continue. The pattern formation includes two rising (bullish) candles with a gap between these rising candles.

Two bullish candlesticks: These candles appear during the continuation of an uptrend. They are bullish candles with long bodies. The first candle forms before the gap, while the second candle forms after the gap. Both candlesticks are green in color.

Upward gap: A gap forms between the two bullish candlesticks, meaning it is located between the highest level of the first candle and the lowest level of the second candle. This gap appears as a "window" on the chart and indicates a rapid increase in price.

The Rising Window pattern is an indication of a rapid increase in an asset's price. This structure shows the presence of strong buying demand and suggests a high probability of the price continuing to rise.


How can we use the "Rising Window" pattern in Trading?

When we encounter the Rising Window candlestick pattern while tracking price movements on a chart, we may consider that the bullish trend will continue. This pattern indicates that buyers are entering the market strongly and suggests a probability of the rising trend continuing. We can interpret this as a buying signal. However, it would be more reliable to confirm this pattern with other analysis tools before making a decision.

Long Position: Buying can be done at the closing price of the second bullish candlestick. However, sometimes there may be a pullback after the second candlestick. In such cases, it may be appropriate to wait for the pullback before entering the trade.

Stop Loss: The stop loss level is usually set close to the price level below the Rising window pattern.

Take Profit: You can set higher targets using technical tools like Fibonacci extensions.

In the example trade, the "Rising window" pattern on the Bank of America stock chart continues the uptrend:

A detail not to be missed: Price fluctuations can be normal and risky in the Forex market. Like every candlestick pattern, the "Rising Window" pattern can also give misleading signals. Therefore, when trading, you should not rely solely on one tool (candlestick pattern, technical indicator) and always verify. Combining technical and fundamental analysis methods will help you create a more reliable trading strategy.
