Doji Sandwich + Volume Spike = 10/10 Trades If You Spot It Right

652
Hello Traders!
Today, let’s talk about a highly underrated but powerful candlestick pattern — the Doji Sandwich. When this pattern appears with a volume spike, it can give you a high-probability breakout or breakdown setup. If you’ve ever missed strong moves because of late entries, this one’s for you.

Let’s decode how to spot it, trade it, and why it works so well.

What is the Doji Sandwich Pattern?
  • Structure: The pattern consists of three candles — a strong candle (bullish or bearish), followed by a Doji, and then another strong candle in the same direction as the first.

  • Indecision Trap: The Doji shows indecision, but the follow-up candle confirms that the previous trend will continue.

  • Reliability Boost: When supported by a volume spike on the third candle, it becomes a powerful confirmation of trend continuation.


How to Trade the Doji Sandwich Setup
  • Entry: Enter on the breakout of the third candle (closing above or below the Doji range).
  • Stop Loss: Place your stop loss just below the Doji (in bullish case) or above it (in bearish case).
  • Volume Confirmation: Make sure the third candle is accompanied by a visible volume spike — this confirms institutional activity.

  • Ideal Timeframe: 15min, 1hr, or Daily chart — depending on your trading style (intraday or swing).


When Does It Work Best?
  • Near support/resistance zones — as a continuation signal.

  • After a short pullback or consolidation.

  • In trending markets where volume confirms momentum.


Rahul’s Tip
Always combine price pattern + volume confirmation. A Doji Sandwich alone is good, but with a volume spike — it’s fire🔥. Don’t just watch it — prepare for it.

Conclusion
The Doji Sandwich pattern is one of those rare 10/10 setups when spotted correctly with volume. Simple, clean, and powerful — it can help you catch big moves early. Add it to your watchlist strategy, and you’ll never ignore this combo again!
