Second Candle Pattern
This pattern occurs when the histogram is above zero but decreasing. It indicates that the bullish trend is potentially continuing, but with less momentum.
Third Candle Pattern
This pattern emerges when the histogram crosses below zero and is falling. It implies that the current bearish trend may be experiencing exhaustion.
Fourth Candle Pattern
