Definition

A frying pan bottom is a candlestick pattern comprised of several Japanese candlesticks.

The initial candlesticks in this pattern are bullish or bearish with small bodies, forming a rounded bottom.

The pattern is completed when a final candlestick forms with a bullish gap opening.

This pattern is the opposite of a dumpling top.

Characteristic

A frying pan bottom typically forms after a significant downward movement characterized by several large red Japanese candlesticks.

Significance

The frying pan bottom is a reversal pattern that signals a potential reversal of a bearish trend into a bullish trend.

This pattern reflects a gradual exhaustion of sellers before buyers regain control forcefully.

Note

The frying pan bottom is considered a major pattern in Japanese candlestick analysis and is a powerful structure.

However, it is crucial not to anticipate its formation and to wait for the bullish gap to confirm the pattern.

Invalidation

If the bullish gap is filled on the last candlestick, the frying pan bottom structure is invalidated.

Concluding Thoughts

The frying pan bottom is a significant reversal pattern in Japanese candlestick analysis, indicating a potential shift from bearish to bullish sentiment.

Traders should avoid anticipating its formation and instead wait for the bullish gap to confirm the pattern.

If the gap is filled, the pattern is invalidated, highlighting the importance of confirmation in making informed trading decisions.
