Candlestick patterns, only where they mean something.

CoinBeacon reads the last one to five candles for the whole classical library — engulfing, hammers, stars, dojis and dozens more — then weights each one by where it lands: at a key level, on a volume spike, aligned with the trend. Not every mid-range doji, just the ones a trader would actually mark.

Pattern detection

Every candle signal worth a name.

From a single dragonfly doji to a five-bar rising three methods, CoinBeacon recognises the patterns traders actually watch — computed on Binance closed candles, so a signal never repaints as the bar is still forming.

  • The weighty reversals. Bullish and bearish engulfing, morning and evening star, three inside/outside up-down, abandoned baby and kicking — the high-reliability turns.
  • The classic single bars. Hammer and hanging man, inverted hammer and shooting star, the full doji family, marubozu, spinning top and belt hold.
  • Continuation and indecision too. Three white soldiers and black crows, rising/falling three methods, harami, tweezers and hikkake — each tagged by what it implies.
  • Direction and grade attached. Every hit carries a bull or bear lean and a low/medium/high reliability tier, so you can filter to only the trustworthy ones.

Context, not noise

A pattern is only as good as where it prints.

A textbook detector fires on shape alone, burying you in dojis. CoinBeacon scores each candle by the situation around it — the same rule a discretionary trader uses when deciding whether to care.

  • At a level or trendline. A reversal candle bouncing off support, a broken trendline or a prior ATH counts far more than one floating mid-range.
  • Confirmed by volume. The completing bar's volume is measured against its baseline — a 2–4× spike lifts the score, dead volume dampens it.
  • Aligned with the trend. A pullback candle in the direction of the trend beats a counter-trend knife-catch fading a strong move.
  • Reliability-weighted. High-grade patterns carry more weight than low-grade ones, so a mid-range spinning top never outranks an engulfing at support.

A candle can match several patterns at once. Each is graded, then cross-checked against key levels and divergences before it earns a score.

Candlestick patterns — common questions

Which candlestick patterns does CoinBeacon detect?
The full classical taxonomy over the last one to five candles: engulfing, hammer and hanging man, inverted hammer and shooting star, the whole doji family (dragonfly, gravestone, long-legged), morning and evening star, harami, piercing and dark cloud, marubozu, three white soldiers and three black crows, tweezers, kicking, hikkake and more. Each is tagged reversal, continuation or indecision, with a low, medium or high reliability grade.
Does it flag every doji and hammer on the chart?
No — that would be noise. A pattern is only weighted heavily when it appears where it means something: at a key level or trendline, on a volume spike, aligned with the trend. A high-reliability reversal candle at support on 2x volume ranks near the top; a lone doji mid-range is noted but carries low weight, so it never crowds out the signals that matter.
Is candlestick pattern detection free to use?
Yes. The free plan includes every CoinBeacon feature — the candlestick detector, all screeners, and up to 10 active alerts with 10 notifications per day. Patterns are computed on Binance spot and futures closed candles. Sign in with Google to start.
