Stick Sandwich

bullish

Definition

Red, green, red — with BOTH red candles closing at the same price. Support sandwiched in the middle.

Psychology

Sellers closed at one price, buyers bounced, sellers closed there AGAIN — that price is defended.

Real-life analogy

💡 Two slices of bread, same shelf — the filling says the floor holds.

Confirmation

A green close above the middle candle's high.

Invalidation

A close below the matched closes.

Historical behaviour

Check closes match within a tick or two.

~55-60% with confirmation · Low reliability

Common beginner mistakes

  • Loose 'same close' definitions
  • Trading it inside a waterfall without confirmation
