Inside Bar
A candle whose entire range sits inside the high and low of the candle before it, showing a pause or squeeze.
In plain English
A candle whose entire range sits inside the high and low of the candle before it, showing a pause or squeeze.
An inside bar stays within the previous candle's high and low. The market is coiling: neither side is pushing beyond yesterday's range.
Traders often watch for a break of the 'mother bar's' high or low as a signal. Related to the harami.
