Mat Hold Candlestick Definition
The Mat Hold is a candlestick pattern that is identified by a long candlestick followed by several small candlesticks that form a trading range or "mat." The mat is then followed by a long candlestick that closes near or above the high of the first long candlestick. The small candlesticks within the mat do not trade below the low of the first long candlestick, indicating that the buyers are in control of the market.
Is the Mat Hold Candlestick Bullish or Bearish?
The Mat Hold candlestick pattern can be both bullish and bearish.
In a bullish Mat Hold pattern, the initial long candlestick represents a strong upward move in the price. This is followed by a period of consolidation, which is represented by a series of small candlesticks. During this consolidation period, the price does not drop below the low of the first long candlestick. The final long candlestick, which closes near or above the high of the first long candlestick, shows that the buyers are still in control of the market and the bullish trend is likely to continue.
In a bearish Mat Hold pattern, the initial long candlestick represents a strong downward move in the price. This is followed by a period of consolidation, which is represented by a series of small candlesticks. During this consolidation period, the price does not rise above the high of the first long candlestick. The final long candlestick, which closes near or below the low of the first long candlestick, shows that the sellers are still in control of the market and the bearish trend is likely to continue.
