A Probe Versus A ShadowA Probe Versus A Shadow The candlestick shadow refers to the upper and lower thin lines of the candlestick body. A lot of that has been written already by others, so in this article, I like to mention just a few differences between a probe versus a shadow. A market probe is a measurement tool. A market probe checks the sentiment of the bulls compared to the sentiment of the bears. A bull probe is when the bulls test a new higher price level, and a bear probe is when the bears test a lower price level. I think a shadow is a possible price reversal, and a probe is when the price explores a new price and may advance further in the same direction. Is that a shadow or a probe? Let save that for another discussion. To answer that question, it will require a more in-depth market analysis of the immediate market conditions and ultimately the outcome depends on the market decision. Thank you for reading!
