Doji

« Back to Glossary Index

A Doji candlestick in technical analysis that occurs when an asset’s opening and closing prices are virtually the same. The Doji is characterized by a very small body, which appears as a thin line, and may have long or short wicks (shadows) extending above and below the body.

The Doji is often interpreted as a sign of market indecision, as neither the buyers nor the sellers were able to gain control during the time period represented by the candle. It can appear in both uptrends and downtrends and is commonly used to signal potential reversals or the end of a trend.
