Spinning Top is a single candlestick chart pattern, i.e. consists of one candle with a small body and an equal length long tails (shadows) on the top and on the bottom.
Spinning Top is similar to
Doji, but it does have a real body. As a result, a candle forming the Spinning Top can be bullish or bearish, depending on whether it closed higher or lower than it opened.
Just like a Doji, a Spinning Top signals indecision and a potential reversal.
If a Bullish Spinning Top, i.e one formed by a bullish candle, occurs during a downtrend, it signals a reversal upward.
If a Bearish Spinning Top, i.e. one formed by a bearish candle, occurs during an uptrend, it typically signals a reversal downward.
Spinning Tops are more common than Dojis. The indecision signaled by a Spinning Top may be followed by some flat movement on a chart. A potential reversal should be confirmed by the following candle in the direction of the reversal.
