Raindrop/Balloon

A Raindrop/Balloon is detected when the following two conditions are met:

  • Left and right VWAP are higher than 60% of the body
  • At least 80% of the volume of the candle resides above 60% of the Raindrop’s body.

Raindrop/Blue Doji

A Raindrop/Blue Doji is detected when the VWAP prices are the same on both sides of the bar. In the example below, you can observe a Blue Doji formation where the volume on the right is slightly lower than the volume on the left, indicating indecision and tight trading.

Raindrop/Double Flip

Raindrop/Double Flip is detected when more than 33% of the candle’s body is between the left and right prices.

Bearish double flips occur when there’s a green flip and then a red flip where the red flip has a right price lower than the green flip’s low.
