Overview: Today we will be talking about a critical point to understand when trading
candle sticks. What is the di erence between wick rejections and wick exhaustion?

The, or one of the, most common means of day trading is by using candle sticks. They are
critical to understand what price has done over a certain period of time. Unlike line charts,
(//instagram.com/p/B0oRAV0AR0T/
they give you a FULL understanding of how low priced fell during a period, how high price
)
rose during a period, and the opens and closes of each specific time period.

Understanding how price reacted when trading outside of its open and close “body” is
very important to being able to understand how price is reactive to di erent price ranges,
news events, or times. There are two common types of wicks that we will look into and
discuss: wick rejections and wick exhaustion.

wick, we want to attribute it with a strong volatile market that is very sensitive to di erent Crypto Currencies

It is most common to see these types of wicks at the beginning of major sessions, at the

Where we can see the first candle example come into play. During London/NY we see candles continuously push into a
critical zone (our previous LH) and we see large rejection wicks form as bears took over each time said zone was pushed into.

Exhaustion Wicks: Exhaustion wicks are formed by much more subtle opposing market February 2019
players. When characterizing an exhaustion wick, we are typically looking at a sessions (https://ateentrader.com/201

creating short term pull backs during o sessions to further the move during the next

It is most common to see these types of wicks during minor sessions and at the end of

major sessions (if the session was slow).

As we can see, in all examples of the exhaustion wicks, we tend to see the market in slow sessions and the market pulls away
slightly before continue prior direction in major sessions.

Conclusion:

To conclude, understanding the di erence between exhaustion and rejection wicks is


important. It boils down to rejections typically come during major sessions and cause
reversals while exhaustion tend to occur during slower sessions and lead to fake reversals.

I very much enjoyed this article. I am thinking that you may have
inadvertently written rejection in stead of exhaustion in the subheadings
where you describe exhaustion candles.
