On Japanese candlestick patterns the index after having formed two consecutive doji patterns (indicating indecisiveness amongst investors) has formed a long white body candle on higher volumes. In fact, yesterday's candle is almost like a white body Marubozu candle. (A White Marubozu forms when the open equals the low and the close equals the high). This is positive and indicates that the bias has shifted towards the buy side of the market.
