Candlestick patterns: how often each one actually works

We measured every candle and pattern on 82,301 daily candles from 32 crypto markets on Kraken, 2013–2026. These are the 44 shapes with at least 30 cases; the other 45 are too rare in our data to put an honest number on, and you meet them in the app.

“Risen” means a rise larger than half that market's typical five-candle move. A bullish pattern promises a rise and a bearish one a fall, each larger than half that market's typical five-candle move; anything smaller counts as a promise not kept.
