Doji
A candle that opens and closes at nearly the same price, forming a cross — a sign of indecision and a possible turning point.
A doji has little or no body because buyers and sellers finished the session in a stalemate. After a strong trend, a doji can flag that momentum is fading and a reversal or pause may be near.
Variants carry extra meaning: a dragonfly doji (long lower wick) leans bullish, a gravestone doji (long upper wick) leans bearish. Context and confirmation matter more than the doji alone.
