What is Dragonfly Doji?

Dragonfly Doji is a T-shaped doji candle with the open, close, and high prices all the same, and only the lower tail extended. Named after the shape of a dragonfly with its wings spread, it is a strong bullish reversal signal that appears at the bottom of a downtrend.

⚪ Neutral

Interpretation: The price fell strongly during the day, but buying forces perfectly pushed the price up and closed at the opening price. The selling force was completely defeated.
