There is a very practical pattern called continuation pattern in candlesticks. The name itself explains it— the price trend will continue, whether it is up or down. This pattern is usually composed of two or more candlesticks.
Let's look at the actual situation. When the market is rising, sometimes the price will pull back for a correction, but the bullish momentum remains intact. This is often a signal of a continued upward breakout.
There is an even more obvious signal. During an uptrend, if a sudden volume spike causes a sharp decline, possibly with three or four bearish candles appearing together, it usually indicates retail investors are fleeing. Don't be afraid, the key is what happens afterward— if the next candle is a large bullish candle with high volume breaking through the high of the previous candle, that is a confirmation signal. The trend continuation is valid, and this is a good opportunity to go long or build a position.

Retail investors fleeing are actually a good opportunity to get in. I understand this logic.

actually, the volume confirmation part is where most retail traders mess up the math. statistically speaking, breakouts fail ~40% of the time when you ignore the liquidity depth... but yeah, continuation patterns hit different when you've got proper risk-adjusted entries

When retail investors are fleeing, it's exactly our time to get in; this logic makes perfect sense.

Whenever retail investors panic and sell, I jump in. I've been playing this game for too long.

The part about retail investors running away really hits hard; it's always at this point that it collapses.
