“East Asia Economic Online” column published — a sequence of hope and disappointment

Good morning, this is Matsushita.

Currently, we are conducting a new validation of the stock market,

and we are considering the impact on trading during the lull of this period, known as “summer doldrums.”

We are looking into how it affects buying and selling.

When we investigated, surprising facts began to emerge,

and we feel the恐ろしさ (the fear) of the stock market and investing.

We will continue the validation,

and if it becomes something we can showcase, we will introduce it.

As I monitor daily candlesticks and market conditions,

there are things that are obvious, yet I tend to forget or overlook,

and I realize them.

One of these is the emotion conveyed by the bullish and bearish candles

in the market participants.

Bullish candles are the candles that rise from the opening to the close due to buying pressure,

and represent investors’ expectations.

Bearish candles are the candles that fall from the opening to the close due to selling pressure,

and represent investors’ disappointment.

Continuous bullish candles signify continued investor expectations,

continuous bearish candles signify continued investor disappointment.

Within that, your precious funds are at stake.

When you think about it, it’s not about how you think, but

what market participants are thinking that matters,

and that holds the fate of your funds in your hands.

It’s not about how you think, but

reading what market participants are thinking from the bullish and bearish candles, and taking the right risks.

The daily bullish and bearish candles also carry important messages.
