Doji Candlestick Patterns

Doji candlestick patterns can be either a bullish or a bearish reversal candlestick pattern depending upon where it develops in the trend for the share price.

Doji candlestick patterns that develop at the bottom of downtrends are bullish reversal candlestick patterns and are also referred to as Southern Doji candlestick patterns. Doji candlestick patterns that develop at the top of uptrends are bearish reversal candlestick patterns and are also referred to as Northern Doji candlestick patterns.
