Real Bybit prices: one candle per US trading day (9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. New York time, built from 30-minute candles) of USDT perpetual contracts on 81 US stocks, April to September 2026 (fetched September 28, 2026). The stock and the dates are shown after each answer.

How to play

Each question shows seven real session candles of a US stock that set up a trend, then highlights a real example of the pattern in a yellow band. Pick the name you think fits. The game shows the correct answer, what the pattern usually signals and why the shape matters. Correct answers in a row build a streak bonus.

The 16 patterns in the game

Context decides the meaning

Several patterns share the same shape. A hammer and a hanging man look identical: a small body near the top with a long lower shadow. After a decline it is a hammer and hints at a bounce. After a rise it is a hanging man and warns that sellers are active. The inverted hammer and shooting star work the same way. That is why every question shows the trend before the pattern.

Patterns are clues, not guarantees

Traders usually wait for the next candle to confirm a pattern and combine it with support, resistance or volume. Read more in our candlestick patterns guide and what is a candlestick, then test your reading in the chart game.

Educational only. Every chart is a real example found with fixed rules, based on the explanations in this game, in US stock session candles. No pattern predicts price with certainty, and nothing here is financial advice.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Which candlestick pattern is most reliable?

No single pattern is reliable on its own. Engulfing patterns and morning or evening stars are widely watched, but traders look for confirmation on the following candle and for context such as support and resistance.

What is the difference between a hammer and a hanging man?

The shape is the same. A hammer appears after a decline and is read as bullish; a hanging man appears after a rise and is read as a bearish warning.

How many questions are in a quiz?

Each quiz has 15 questions drawn from 16 patterns in random order, so a new quiz gives you a different sequence.
