Rising window candlestick usually works during an uptrend. Because it is a trend continuation signal.

What does the rising window pattern tell traders?

Before trading the rising window pattern, you should obviously learn the reason for the formation of this candlestick pattern. You have understood that this is a bullish trend continuation pattern but you don’t know why does this pattern forms on the chart. What type of trading activity is going on behind the price chart? 

To get the answer to these questions continue reading below

The body of bullish candlestick indicates the momentum and power of buyers in the market. 

A large bullish body means more buyers are buying a specific asset. A small bullish body means few buyers are buying a specific asset. The market works like a tug of war. 

When a candlestick closes then a new candlestick will open usually at the same level. 

But sometimes when a large number of orders get filled then a sudden change in price happens. This sudden change causes a gap in the price chart. This large amount of buy orders is a direct indication of an upcoming bullish trend because institutional traders are interested to buy that specific asset.

What are the features of the rising window? 

The gap in the rising window pattern also acts as a strong support level.  Sometimes, the price will give a small pullback towards the gap to fill it, and then it will continue its bullish trend. 

For example, you are looking for a buying opportunity after the formation of a rising window pattern but the bullish candlestick has a wide range resulting in a bigger stop loss level and a small risk-reward ratio. Then you can wait for the price to give a minor pullback to fill the gap and open a buy order after a bullish candlestick confirmation at the gap zone.
