When I first heard about “Price Action,” I thought it was just about candles on a chart.
But as I went deeper, I realised—price action is not just about patterns, it's about understanding market psychology.
Here are 3 secrets that helped me and many other traders master price action trading.
They might sound simple, but the impact is powerful.
1. Understand the Psychology Behind Candles
Every candle tells a story.
It’s not just about red or green—it’s about who’s in control, buyers or sellers.
A long wick shows rejection
A strong body shows conviction
A doji shows confusion
When you stop looking at candles as lines and start seeing emotion and intention, that’s when real clarity begins.
Don't just learn candle patterns. Understand why they are forming.
2. Respect, Support and Resistance Like Sacred Zones
Support and resistance are not just horizontal lines.
They are emotional zones where traders make big decisions.
Support = where buyers step in with confidence
Resistance = where sellers become aggressive
These zones tell you where the price is likely to react.
So instead of chasing every move, wait near these levels and trade with logic.
In price action, reacting to these zones smartly is half the battle won.
3. Wait for Build-Up Before Breakout
This one changed my trading completely.
Most traders jump into a breakout without confirmation, and get trapped.
A real breakout is always preceded by a build-up—a tight consolidation, where price becomes silent.
Silence before the storm.
When you wait patiently and enter after a proper setup forms, your chances of success shoot up.
Final Thought:
Price action is simple—but not easy.
It needs patience, observation, and emotional control.
