πŸš€Momentum Candles

The Momentum Candles sit inside the oscillator panel and display the momentum strength of the current price action. They show whether momentum is strong and directional, or weak and choppy.

How to read the candles:

Color
Meaning

🟒 Green candle

Strong bullish momentum β€” price is pushing higher with conviction

πŸ”΄ Red candle

Strong bearish momentum β€” price is pushing lower with conviction

🟣 Purple candle

Weak/choppy momentum β€” potential reversal or consolidation zone

The Purple Candle (Weak Momentum)

The purple candle is a caution signal. When momentum weakens, it often means:

  • The current trend is losing steam

  • A reversal may be approaching

  • Price is consolidating before the next move

Pro Tip: Purple candles appearing after a strong run of green or red candles are often early warning signs of a reversal. Pay close attention to what happens next.
