BUY (with confirmation)
Confirmation

Next candle should close above the dragonfly's high.

When it's most reliable

Bullish reversal signal at support or end of downtrend. One of the strongest single-candle bullish patterns.

The psychology behind it

Sellers pushed price down hard, but buyers stepped in and rallied price all the way back. Demand has arrived.

Like every candlestick pattern, the Dragonfly Doji is a probabilistic signal — not a guarantee. The strongest setups appear at clear support / resistance levels, with a directional bias from higher timeframes, and ideally with volume confirmation. Always combine candlestick reads with structure and trend context.
