Price will only fall so far before you get a bounce off of or near a support. Price WILL NOT fall indefinitely. Be extra careful when price makes a new low because one or two things are going to happen, it will either keep falling or it will bounce. More than likely, it will make a make a strong bounce.
Why????? because all of the sellers have gotten on board to sell. When there are no more sellers, the only logical thing to happen is for the buyers to come in and buy in force, creating a strong upwards bounce, trapping the sellers at the bottom.
Price falls strongly as long as there are sellers, but when the sellers are all gone BAM!!!!!! you have an upward explosion with nothing to slow the force of the powerful move upward. Now many of the traders trapped at the bottom are also forced to sell, creating more momentum for the upward move and prices continue to rise.
When you make an all new low and you get sideways action. Wait it out until you are sure you know where price is headed. If you get trapped, free yourself as soon as you can even if it means taking a small loss. It is better to be upset that you missed out on a great trade than to find yourself trapped in a trade that you wish you hadnt taken.
REMEMBER SUPPORT = BOUNCE, until price shows you differently. No matter what, wait for proper reversal/continuation signals near support before you enter the trade and please wait for your candle to close before making your trading decision. Those few pips that you think you will gain by beating out your competition are NOT WORTH IT. All of the pros know to wait for an advantageous set-up and so should you (^_^)

There are two very tricky candles that I must warn you about. Both are part of the umbrella group. The first is the shooting star. The shooting star comes at the top on an uptrend and has a shadow twice the size of the real body. The thing about the shooting star is that it opens near the bottom of the candle goes up to create the illustration of a strong bullish candle, quickly turns on you, and closes near its open. It can be bullish or bearish, but a bearish shooting star is stronger and more likely to create a reversal than a bullish shooting star.
A shooting star happens when the bulls are running strong with the ball , and it looks like they are going to score when the bears come in and slam them at the last minute. Many times the bears take over then run the ball the other way. Sometimes there is a fight and there is a sideways standoff for a while. The hammer is the other trick candle that you want to be aware of. A hammer come at the end of a downtrend and will mislead you with the idea that it is going to continue in a bearish fashion before price turns traitor on you. It is called a hammer because it looks like a hammer. A hammer opens near the top of the candle, falls strong before reversing on you, creating a lower shadow that is twice the size of its real body . When you see a hammer form, it is a sign that you need to protect your profits.
The thing that is detrimental about the shooting star/hammer is that if you enter either before it closes, you will more than likely find yourself on the far end of the WRONG SIDE of the trade. If you are using candles as trading flagships, always let them close before you jump into a trade. Impatience in the face of either of these candles will break you fast.
