Miglior citazione da Candlestick Psychology: Trading the Midpoint Rule and Retracements
The 50% midpoint rule is the truth detector. If the price stays above that 50% mark, the bullish momentum is still very much alive, but if it can’t even hold the halfway point, the strength of that first move was likely a trap.

Understanding general candlestick fundamentals with a specific focus on applying these patterns to active trades.

The Midpoint Rule focuses on the 50% mark of a Long Green Real Body, which represents a critical level where market demand often re-emerges. While a massive green candle looks like pure strength, the market often views the peak as overextended. Traders use this halfway point to identify a 'fair' price or discount after a vertical spike, making it a more strategic entry point than chasing the top of the move.
The 50% midpoint is significant because it accounts for the skeptical memory of the market. When price moves rapidly, many traders feel they missed the initial opportunity and refuse to buy at the peak. This creates a setup for a retracement where the midpoint acts as a psychological anchor. Professional traders monitor this level to see if demand will return, rather than falling into the trap of buying at the absolute high.
Liquidity grabs often occur when retail traders buy at the very top of a Long Green Real Body, thinking they are buying strength. Professional traders frequently expect a retracement from these peaks as the market seeks a more reasonable entry. By understanding candlestick psychology and the Midpoint Rule, traders can avoid being caught in these traps and instead wait for price action to stabilize near the 50% mark before committing to a position.
