<p><strong>Belt Hold</strong> is a single candle pattern characterized by a large body with no upper or lower wick, indicating strong conviction and indecision in the market. It forms when the opening and closing prices are nearly identical, with no significant price movement during the candle's formation.</p>
<p>Belt Hold patterns matter as they signal a pause in the current trend, with neither buyers nor sellers gaining a clear advantage. They often occur after a strong trend, hinting at potential reversal or consolidation. For instance, after a prolonged bullish trend, a Belt Hold candle may indicate that buyers are losing momentum, potentially signaling a price correction.</p>
