The psychology behind it
Buyers tried to push higher, but sellers slammed price all the way back. Supply has arrived.
Like every candlestick pattern, the Gravestone 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.
