Heikin-Ashi
Heikin-Ashi is a type of chart used in technical analysis to filter out price noise, making it easier for traders to identify trends. It uses a modified candlestick chart formula of close-open-high-low (COHL) instead of open-high-low-close (OHLC).
In a Heikin-Ashi chart, candlesticks in an upward trend are empty in colour and often only have a wick to indicate selling pressure, while downward trending candles are coloured and have a tail to represent buying pressure. When the candle body becomes short with both a wick and tail, it indicates a change in price direction and indecision of the market.
While Heikin-Ashi charts give a clearer general idea of price movements, they use averages, which may not match real-time prices. Traders may use the Heikin-Ashi technique to complement other technical analysis indicators such as Bollinger bands and RSIs for a more concrete confirmation.
