Complete 1-Candle Patterns

Based on the core definitions, here are all the possible configurations for a single 1-candle pattern (Bullish and Bearish).

Bullish Patterns (C > O)

Bull_1

• Definition: High > Close > Open > Low. A standard bullish candle with both an upper and lower shadow (wick).
• Logic:

  H > C & O & L
  C > O & L
  O > L
  

Bull_2

• Definition: Close = High > Open > Low. A bullish candle that closes precisely at its highest price, indicating strong upward momentum into the close (no upper wick).
• Logic:

  (C = H) > O & L
  C > O & L
  O > L
  

Bull_3

• Definition: High > Close > Open = Low. A bullish candle that opened at its absolute lowest point, showing buyers dominated continually from the very beginning (no lower wick).
• Logic:

  H > C & O & L
  C > O & L
  O = L
  

Bull_4

• Definition: (Close = High) > (Open = Low). A perfectly strong "Marubozu" bullish candle that opened at its low and closed perfectly at its high, without wicks.
• Logic:

  (C = H) > O & L
  C > O & L
  O = L

Bearish Patterns (C < O)

Bear_1

• Definition: High > Open > Close > Low. A standard bearish candle where the price varied heavily but ended below where it opened.
• Logic:

  L < C & O & H
  C < O & H
  O < H
  

Bear_2

• Definition: High > Open > Close = Low. A bearish candle that closes exactly at its lowest point, showing selling pressure all the way through the end of the session (no lower wick).
• Logic:

  (C = L) < O & H
  C < O & H
  O < H
  

Bear_3

• Definition: High = Open > Close > Low. A bearish candle that opens precisely at its high, suggesting selling pressure began instantly, producing no upper wick.
• Logic:

  L < C & O & H
  C < O & H
  O = H
  

Bear_4

• Definition: (Open = High) > (Close = Low). A perfectly strong bearish "Marubozu" candle opening at its absolute high and closing at its absolute low, showing maximal bearish momentum and no wicks.
• Logic:

  (C = L) < O & H
  C < O & H
  O = H
