Candlestick Chart for FTSE 250

The following are the most recent instances when the price/value of FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index formed the various candlestick chart patterns on the price charts.

1) On Tuesday, Nov 21, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Bearish Engulfing Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:
DayOpenCloseBody Length
Today's18,599.0518,379.72219.33
Previous Day's18,567.8718,581.2413.37
Today to Previous Day's Body Length Factor:16.40

18,599.05
18,581.24
18,567.87
18,379.72

The 'Bearish Engulfing' candlestick chart pattern is formed as a relatively lengthier red-colored body candle such that its body completely covers (hence engulfs) the body of the previous day's candlestick. The body of the previous day's candlestick is green in color. Basically, the recent day's red color candlestick is large enough to completely engulf or cover the previous day's green color candlestick. Formation of such a bearish engulfing chart pattern during an uptrend when accompanied by a range breakout (like on upper Bollinger band or on the 200-DMA trend-line) indicates a strong sign of reversal to a downward price move.

2) On Wednesday, Nov 1, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Tweezer Top Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:
DayHighLow
Today's17,229.1116,995.66
Previous Day's17,188.6917,013.62

Previous High: 17,188.69
~=
Today's High: 17,229.11
 
 
 
 

The Japanese candlestick chart pattern called 'Tweezer Top' is constituted by two adjacent candles. The primary condition for formation of a 'Tweezer Top' is that both the candles should have identical high price value, or at least they should be within 1%-2% range of each other. Other condition for the 'Tweezer Top' is that both the candles should be non-doji candles - that is, their body should have non-zero and significant lengths. Body colors don't matter, but the 'Tweezer Top' formation should be on the uptrend. If all these conditions are met, then 'Tweezer Top' can lead to a price reversal - that is, the prices will start to fall downward if confirmed by the next few candles. Most active traders wait for a confirmation candle to form, because 'Tweezer Top' formation in itself is not a strong pattern and needs confirmation.

4) On Monday, Oct 23, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Bullish Harami Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:
DayOpenCloseBody Length
Today's17,032.7317,058.9926.26
Previous Day's17,213.1417,032.73180.41
Today to Previous Day's Body Length Factor:0.15

17,213.14
17,058.99
17,032.7317,032.73

The bullish harami candlestick is formed as a two line pattern - that is, two continous back-to-back candles are required to form the bullish harami pattern on the price chart. The first candle (called the mother candle) is considerably larger in size and is red in color - that is, its a bearish candle. The second candle that follows (called the baby candle) is a relatively smaller candle and is green in color - that is, its a bullish candle. The word 'harami' in Japanese language means 'pregnant woman', and hence this two-candle setup comprising of one large and another small one is called 'Harami candlestick chart pattern' indicating a mother carrying a baby sort of a figure. Additionally, the baby candle's body needs to be completely engulfed within the mother's body. Formation of such a bullish harami pattern during a downtrend when accompanied by a range breakout (like on upper Bollinger band or on the 200-DMA trend-line) indicates a strong sign of reversal to an upward price move.

5) On Monday, Oct 23, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Hanging Man Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:
OpenHighLowClose
17,032.7317,082.3916,875.1117,058.99

Body-LengthLower Wick LengthUpper Wick Length

High: 17,082.39
Body Range (O~C):
17,032.73 ~ 17,058.99
Low: 16,875.11
 
 

The hanging man is formed as a Japanese candlestick representing a shape of a hanging person, hence the name. The name also fits the bill as it is formed on an uptrend, so it appears like a man hanging from a height. The body of the hanging man actually represents the head of a person, and therefore it is relatively small compared to the entire length of the candle. It has a very long bottom shadow (wick) and no or very little upper shadow. Hanging man is a single line pattern, and traders often wait for the next candle to form as a confirmation candle. When the hanging man pattern is formed on an uptrend, it indicates a strong possibility of price reversal which can be confirmed by the next candle of bullish nature, and the upward move is expected to continue for the next few candles.

6) On Monday, Oct 16, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Bullish Harami Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:

7) On Thursday, Oct 12, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Inverted Hammer Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:
OpenHighLowClose

High: 18,080.83
 
Body Range (O~C):
17,876.24 ~ 17,835.69
Low: 17,835.69

The Japanese candlestick chart pattern called inverted hammer is formed in way that represents a shape of a hammer which is upside down - that is, the metallic body of the hammer which is used for striking is at the lower side, and its handle which is represented by the upper shadow (wick of the candle) is long and is located on the upper part of the candle. This candlestick chart pattern formation gains significance when is formed on a downtrend trend as it indicates a potential bullish reversal forecast. The color of the body of the inverted hammer constituted by the open and close prices may be red or green, but it must form on a downtrend. It should have a very long upper shadow (wick) and no or very little lower shadow.

8) On Thursday, Oct 12, 2023, FTSE 250 (FTSE 250) Index price formed the following Tweezer Bottom Candlestick chart pattern on the price chart:

Today's Low: 17,835.69
 

The Japanese candlestick chart pattern called 'Tweezer Bottom' is constituted by two adjacent candles. The color of either of the two candles is immaterial - that is, the candles can be of either color. However, there are other conditions to be checked for 'Tweezer Bottom' formation. First, both the candles should be non-doji - that is, the candles should have a significant body constituted by difference in open and close prices. The next condition is that both the candles should have identical low price values, or at least they should be within 1%-2% range of each other. Additionally, the 'Tweezer Bottom' formation should be on the downtrend - that is, the price movement till the formation of the tweezer top should be downwards. If all these conditions are met, then 'Tweezer Bottom' can lead to a price reversal - that is, the prices will start to go upward if confirmed by the next few candles. Most active traders wait for a confirmation candle to form, because 'Tweezer Bottom' formation in itself is not a strong pattern and needs confirmation.

The bearish harami candlestick is formed as a two line pattern - that is, it needs two back-to-back candles to identify the pattern on the price chart. The setup comprises of a long-sized green-colored body at the first position (called the mother candle), and a small-sized red-colored body at the second position (called the baby candle). The word 'harami' in Japanese language means 'pregnant woman', and hence this two-candle setup comprising of one large and another small one is called 'Harami candlestick chart pattern'. Additionally, the baby candle's body needs to be completely 'engulfed' within the mother's body. Formation of such a bearish harami pattern during an uptrend when accompanied by a range breakout (like on upper Bollinger band or on the 200-DMA trend-line) indicates a strong sign of reversal to a downward price move.
