Spinning Top candlestick pattern

The Spinning Top candlestick pattern has a single candle. It forms at the peak of an uptrend, the bottom of a downtrend, or in the middle of a trend. It can be a bearish or bullish candle.

It’s a small candlestick pattern. In this pattern, the stock prices open and close are near each other. This pattern forms when there’s indecision among the buyers and sellers in the uptrend, downtrend, or sideways trend. The pattern suggests a possible change in trend.
