🔹 🔍 Structure of the Hikkake Pattern

It generally involves three or four candlesticks:

Inside Bar (Setup): A smaller candle is completely within the range (high to low) of the previous candle — this signals consolidation.
False Break Candle: The price breaks out of the inside bar, giving a false impression of a breakout.
Reversal: The following candle(s) reverse and close inside the inside bar range again.
Trigger: The pattern is confirmed when price moves in the opposite direction of the false breakout.

A Hikkake pattern is a short-term trading setup used by technical traders to identify potential false breakouts and trend reversals. The term “hikkake” (引っ掛け) comes from Japanese and loosely means “to trick” or “to trap,” which reflects the essence of this pattern — trapping traders into thinking a breakout is real, only for the price to reverse.

🧩 Hikkake Pattern Structure

Inside Bar Setup (Initial Trap):
- A smaller candle (the “inside bar”) forms completely within the range of the previous candle.
- This is often interpreted as a consolidation or indecision.
False Breakout:
- Price breaks out above or below the inside bar (usually the next day), attracting breakout traders.
- This is the “trap” part.
Reversal and Confirmation (The Real Move):
- Price then quickly reverses and moves in the opposite direction of the breakout.
- Entry is usually triggered when the price re-enters the range of the inside bar or breaks the opposite side.
